Overview of Assessment
Assessment are conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the performance criteria set out in the National Training Package. Students are required to undertake summative assessments that bring together knowledge and skills. To successfully complete this course you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment tasks detailed under the Assessment Task Section.
Your assessment for this course will be marked using the following table:
NYC (<50%) Not Yet Competent
CAG (50-59%) Competent - Pass
CC (60-69%) Competent - Credit
CDI (70-79%) Competent - Distinction
CHD (80-100%) Competent - High Distinction
Assessment Tasks
This unit will be assessed in the classroom environment using holistic assessment, based on typical workplace activities.
* A project covering elements 1, 2, 3 & 4 comprising a multi-storey reinforced concrete office building using industry drawings.
* A two-hour end-of-semester examination covering elements 1, 2, 3 & 4
