Overview of Assessment
Students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a particular competency to be deemed competent. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over a range of assessment tasks.
Assessment will incorporate a variety of methods including assignments, journals, presentation and written or test. Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met.
Assessment Tasks
Task 1. In class week 6: Students will participate in a team debate. The debate will follow traditional debating rules and procedures, which students will have to learn. Topics will be chosen from a list of options. Students will be marked individually on their ability to present arguments, to respond to arguments and follow the debate process.
Task 2. In class weeks 11 and 12: Students will make an individual presentation with visuals, on a topic to be advised, with a duration of 10 minutes. A detailed marking guide will be provided in advance.
Task 3. In class week 14: Students will write a response to a brief on client relationship and networking strategies, and present this in class.
Further details on the assement will be provided during the course.
Assessment Matrix
Marking Guide (competency)
Vocational Education and Training (VET) is based on current industry needs and the focus on preparing you for the workplace. Because VET courses are informed by practical application of knowledge and skills, they are based on a system known as ‘competency based training’ (CBT). So when you are assessed in VET it is about whether you are competent to do the job, as well as having a firm grasp on the knowledge and skills required to do that job, as opposed to traditional curriculum based education settings that are often based on knowledge retention.
You need to demonstrate you are competent in each element of the unit of competency you are studying.
Detailed Marking Guides will be handed out in class, and on blackboard well before each assessment deadline.
You will receive feedback on each assessment task that will inform you whether you are competent or not and how well you are performing. Once competent in all elements of the unit you pass that unit of competency.
Marking Guide (Grading)
After achieving competency we then grade your performance in the unit; this gives you the opportunity to have the level of your performance formally recognized against industry standards and employability skills.
You will receive one of the following grades:
CHD Competent with High Distinction
CDI Competent with Distinction
CC Competent with Credit
CAG Competency Achieved – Graded
NYC - Not Yet Competent
