Overview of Assessment
This is a progressive assessment, the students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
• Drawing assessments
• CAD design simulation projects
Assessment Tasks
Assessment task 1: Work Simulations (40%)
A project has to be undertaken toward the end of the unit, in a controlled environment for the specified duration in order to perform tasks autonomously and/or a member of a team.
Assignment - 1 : 5%
Assignment - 2 : 5%
Assignment - 3 : 5%
Assignment - 4 : 10%
Assignment - 5 : 5%
Assignment - 6 : 5%
Assignment - 7 : 5%
Assessment task 2: Major Project (20%)
These will be assessed according to individual task criteria. All laboratory exercises must be undertaken according to safe working practice as specified by the Center and performed according to specified
laboratory standards and practice
Assessment task 3: Major Practical test (40%)
Practical test to demonstrate an understanding of Electrical/Electronics circuit design.
Note: There will be up to 50% penalty for late submissions.
This course is graded using the following course grades-
CHD- Competent with High Distinction
CDI- Competent with Distinction
CC- Competent with Credit
CAG- Competency Achieved - Graded
NYC- Not Yet Competent
DNS- Did Not Submit for Assessment. (This grade is only to be used where the student’s attendance in the course has been ‘confirmed’ (but they have not participated in any form of assessment and did not withdraw by the census date.)
