Overview of Assessment
Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including written/oral activities and demonstration of practical skills to the relevant industry standards. Participants are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher/assessor. Feedback will be provided throughout the course.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment Task 1 (Assignment )
PART A- Written assignment (40%)
PART B- Computer software based assignment (10%)
Assessment Task Two (Final Test)
Open book test (50%)

Competency requirements:
To be deemed competent students must satisfactorily demonstrate competence in all elements listed above. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks.
Students are advised that they will be asked to demonstrate their competence per student assignments and tests which will be used to assess their competence.
All assessments for this course must be successfully completed to achieve a CA (Competency Achieved) grade. Only if Competency is achieved will a graded result be given using the coding choices listed below:
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
Other Information
Employability skills:
Employability skills are skills that apply across a variety of jobs and life contexts. The assessment tasks for this course have been mapped to employability skills. This information is available to you.
Study and learning Support:
Study and Learning Centre (SLC) provides free learning and academic development advice to you.
Services offered by SLC to support your numeracy and literacy skills are:
assignment writing, thesis writing and study skills advice, maths and science developmental support and advice, English language development.
Please Refer http://www.rmit.edu.au/studyandlearningcentre to find more information about Study and learning Support.
Students are strongly encouraged to make full use of this service.
Disability Liaison Unit:
If you are suffering from a long-term medical condition or disability, you should contact the Disability Liaison Unit (DLU) to seek advice and support to complete your studies. Please Refer http://www.rmit.edu.au/disability to find more information about services offered by Disability Liaison Unit.
Special Consideration
Special Consideration is a variation to an assessment which takes into account the impact of unexpected or extenuating circumstances which have affected a student’s performance in an assessment or prevented them from attempting an assessment task, including an examination.
Please Refer http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse/Current%20students/Administration/Assessment/Special%20consideration/ to find the latest information about the purpose, eligibility and process of special consideration and the online form.
If you are seeking an Extension of Submittable Work for more than 7 calendar days (from the original due date) you must lodge an Application for Special Consideration form under the provisions of the Special Consideration Policy, preferably prior to, but no later than 2 working days after the official due date.
Asssessment Work (assignments, reports or project work etc.) submitted late without an approved extension will not be accepted or marked.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a form of cheating and it is very serious academic offence that may lead to expulsion from the University. Please Refer: www.rmit.edu.au/academicintegrity
