Overview of Assessment
Assessment in this unit will include practical tests, written assignments, and accumulative laboratory exercises.
Assessment Tasks
You are required to complete 4 assessment tasks:
- Progressive online assesment: 5 x 10% = 50%
- Written assignment - due on week 7 (20%)
- Practical test - week 16 (30%)
NOTE: All assessment tasks need to be succesfully completed to demonstrate competence.
Assessment Task 1: Progressive online assesment: 50%
This assessment task consists of 5 online tests (10% each) that you will complete within or outside of the scheduled classes during a set time following the completion of certain topics.
The times when the online tests are available will be published on the Blackboard. Failer to complete a test during the set time will attract penalty of 50% of the test mark.
The online tests will progressively assess your skills and knowledge against the following performance criteria:
- Identifying and implementing OHS processes and procedures for a given work area (1.1)
- Establishing OHS risk control measures and procedures in preparation for the work (1.2)
- Analysing engineering problem from performance specifications and situation reports and in consultation with relevant persons (1.3)
- Planning activities to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with others involved in the work (1.4)
- Identifying and selecting an appropriate development kit and software tools based on specified requirements and performance standard (1.5)
- Implementing strategies to ensure programming is carried out efficiently (1.6)
- OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed. (2.1)
- Knowledge of programming functions and features are applied to providing a programming solution. (2.2)
- Code in existing programs is analysed and modifications or corrections made to rectify program performance. (2.3)
- Key features of the programming language are applied to develop and test solutions. (2.4)
- Approaches to issues/problems are analysed to provide most effective solutions. (2.5)
- Quality of work is monitored against personal performance agreement and/or established organisational or professional standards. (2.6)
Assessment Task 2. Written assignment - 20%
This task will address your skills and knowledge against all performance criteria in three elements of the competency, namely
- Prepare to develop programming solution.
- Develop programming solution
- Test and document the Programming solution
Assessment Task 3. Practical Test - 30%.
This assessment task will address all three elements of the competency:
- Prepare to develop programming solution.
- Develop programming solution
- Test and document the Programming solution
Practical test will demonstrate your ability to analyse an engineering problem, develop an algorithm for a solution, and skills to write, compile, run, test, and debug a C program to given specifications in a limited time (2 hrs).
This course is graded using the following course grades:
