Overview of Assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit will be able to realise the outcomes described in the Elements to the required level detailed in the Performance Criteria.
The ability to produce and scan complex colour separated images at an advanced level in response to a brief and which:
• demonstrates a command of advanced scanning techniques
• demonstrates knowledge of the process involved to produce quality digital images
• demonstrates a sound knowledge of brief interpretation
• demonstrates problem solving skills
Assessment Tasks
Students will demonstrate competence by completing a series of practical projects to be submitted by the prescribed deadlines. All project work is to be documented through notes and drawings which may consist of: notes from lectures and tutorials, models, mockups, visual presentations, and research conducted relevant to the project. Ongoing verbal feedback will be provided to students as the projects progress. Written assessment and feedback will be given to the student when work is returned. Late work will not be accepted.
Assessment tasks:
1. Research and design home studio - due week 6
2. Produce Photographic folio - due week 15
3. Scan, Photograph and edit, images for communication - due week 13
At the completion of the course, grading will be offered in addition to, and after, competency based assessment. Grades which apply to courses delivered in accordance with competency-based assessment, but which also use graded assessment.
