Overview of Assessment

Students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a particular competency to be deemed competent.  Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner. Assessment will incorporate a variety of methods: the development of a range of portfolio documents produced in class, the demonstration of underpinning skills and tests.  Due to the complex nature of this competency, students may be required to demonstrate competency in any element more than once.  Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met.  In addition, formative feedback will be provided to students throughout the course.


Assessment Tasks

Assessment 1 - Part A & B (50%) in-class Due Week 15

Assessment 2 - Part A & B (50%) in-class Due Week 17

For both Assessments 1 and 2 which are seperated into two parts, students will transcribe a range of simple business documents from audio files under supervised test conditions in -class. Students will refer to marking criteria sheet available on the Learning Hub.

IMPORTANT: Marks will be deducted for typographical, spelling and grammatical errors. Students are expected to listen to the instructions carefully and review the accuracy of the doucments before submission.

Grading

A pass in an assessment piece will result in a grade for the student. Where a pass is achieved competency for that assessment is given. Where a pass is not achieved in any assessment piece a NYC (Not Yet Competent) grade will be given. Competency MUST be achieved for each element of competency within a competency standard for a pass grade (or higher grade) to be given. Where competency for all elements of competency is not achieved, an overall NN grade will result.

Submission of written work/assessment

All written work or assessments must be lodged by the due date in the format specified for the particular assessment task on the individual marking guidelines. Written assessments must have a footer containing: student name, student number, course code, title of the assessment and the teacher’s name.

All work should be stapled and plastic pockets or plastic binders should not be used.
