Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course you will have developed and applied the skills and knowledge to demonstrate competency in the above elements.
Details of Learning Activities
This unit is intergrated into the production projects undertaken with VART 5910C Apply manipulation techniques to create experimental textile samples and MANU5914C Select raw materials.
This is a studio based course covering both theory and practical aspects of the development of processes and products relating to textile design.
Individual and group projects will be undertaken in a fully equipped studios using equipment suitable for sample and production, the studio is a simulated industry enviroment.
Upon completion of the sampling and finished product your work is presented to a panel of industry peers for review and feedback.

Overview of Assessment
To achieve successful completion of this course students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of competency.
Assessment tasks have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner.
Students will be awarded a grade only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period on the first assessment attempt.
Units assessed as ’not yet competent’ on a first assessment attempt and ’competent’ on a second or subsequent attempt are to have results amended to competent but are not eligible for grading.
Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher.
All work must be submitted by the due date. Late submission will not be graded higher than a PASS.
Assessment Tasks
Project 1: Development of a product using manipulation techniques 40%
Folio of samples with documentation
Selection and use of materials
Finished product including techniques.
Project 2: Holistic project, Production of finished product according to brief. 60%
Folio of samples with documentation.
Report including Analysis and evaluation of product SWOT
Presentation of finished product
Technical Folio: including evidence of samples completed with description of materials and techniques used, class handouts and any relevant research.
Special consideration Policy (Late Submission)
All assessment tasks are required to be completed to a satisfactory level. If you are unable to complete any piece of assessment by the due date, you will need to apply for an extension. Special consideration, appeals and discipline :
Penalties for late assessment:
Late submission or presentation of assessable work without an approved extension will be penalised as follows:
- Complete work submitted 1 to 7 days late will incur a penalty of 5% per day on your final mark
- Partial or incomplete work submitted 1 to 7 days late will incur a penalty of 5% per day on your final mark for the entire assessable work
- Work submitted after day 7 will be awarded an NN grade and 0% mark
- Weekends and holiday periods are included in the calculation of the late penalty
- Where a due date includes a specific time for submission or presentation, submissions after that time on the due date incur a 5% penalty.
