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.
Assessment will incorporate a variety of methods including:
- Submission and presentation of Project Briefs and Folios
- Technical folders and documentation
- Oral and writtenpresentations
Details of Assessment will be provided with project biref in class sessions
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 submissions will not be graded higher than a PASS.
Assessment Tasks
Students will undertake major design project will include;
A design folio containing the following
Concept board and design research
A range of coordinate designs into a market sector
Selected designs translated into textile samples
Technical file containing a range of samples detailed specification sheets
Textile testing results
A detailed Proejct brief will be provided in class
