- demonstration of techniques
- observation of presentations
- oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of software applications
You are advised that you are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate your assessment work to your teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met.

- develop an advertising campaign implementation strategy
- negotiate with media representatives to get price and positions for an advertising campaign
