Overview of Assessment
Students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a particular unit of competency to be deemed competent. Students are advised that they will be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met.
Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievements of each competency. Assessments will incorporate a variety of methods: direct questioning combined with review of documents with complex design, demonstration of techniques, oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of word processing software functions.
In addition to the assessments, formative feedback is provided to the students throughout the duration of the course.
Assessment Tasks
Refer to relevant marking criteria forms
Portfolio of Evidence
Students will complete set exercises from the textbook to develop the required skills for this unit, and submit a portfolio of evidence to a personal weekly journal on myRMIT Studies in the weeks indicated. The portfolio items will be submitted progressively over the semester for assessment and feedback on the Friday of the week allocated in the weekly schedule before 5.00 pm. In week 15 all portfolio documents are to be checked and reviewed and submitted to the Assignment Box on the level 13.
