Overview of Assessment
Assessment for this course will involve demonstration of practical tasks and testing of underpinning theory knowledge.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment tasks in this course are either formative or summative. Formative tasks provide the basis for ongoing feedback and can be considered as essential building blocks for the more substantial summative assessment tasks. Summative assessment tasks in this unit are graded
For further information on the assessements and grading criteria, please refer to the course Blackboard site.
To demonstrate competency in this course, you will need to complete each one of the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard. You will receive feedback on all assessments and a grade for the summative assessment.
Formative Assessment
1. Open book individual practical assessment task #1 (Conducted during class #1)
For this task you will test two audio leads using a multimeter within a timeframe of 10 minutes.
2. Open book written theory test assessment task #2 (Conducted during class #7)
This assessment task covers:
- OH&S considerations when undertaking equipment repair & maintenance
- Preventative maintenance
- Tools and servicing aids
- Champ amplifier testing & fault-finding
- Phantom power checker circuit
- 240 volt AC power connector installation
Summative Assessment
1. Open book individual practical assessment task #3 (Conducted during class #5)
For this task you will test for functionality your Champ audio amplifier within a timeframe of 10 minutes.
The details on these assessments and the grading criteria for this competency can be found on the course blackboard site.
Grades used in this unit are as follows:
CHD Competent with High Distinction
CDI Competent with Distinction
CC Competent with Credit
CAG Competency Achievemed - Graded
NYC Not yet Competent
DNS Did Not Submit for Assessment
Assessment Matrix
