Details of Learning Activities
At the completion of this course you will have demonstrated your ability to select raw materials, check raw materials and report on them.
This unit is integrated into the production projects undertaken in VART 5910C Apply Manipulation Techniques to Create Experimental Textile Samples and MANU 5914C Contribute to the development of products and processes.
You will have opportunities to demonstrate your abilities to select raw materials, check raw, and report on them. During this unit your skills and knowledge will also be monitored through observational checklists and you will have the opportunity for questioning and further instruction.
RMIT University learning resources are used to support your training.

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.
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 submission will not be graded higher than a PASS.
Assessment Tasks
Throughout the unit you will demonstrate the ability to select raw materials, check raw materials and report on raw materials during selected textile design and production processes. This assessment will take the form of comprehensive documentation of materials used or trialed by you for the following projects:
Project 1:Collars and Cuffs: Development of a product using manipulation techniques 40%
Folio of samples with documentation
Selection and use of materials
Finished product including techniques.
Trade Up Resource Register which requires you to select and describe a material resource, and present it as part of a class resource register.
Project 2: Holistic project, Production of finished product according to brief. 60%
Folio of samples with documentation.
Report including Analysis and evaluation of product SWOT
Presentation of finished product
Technical Folio: including evidence completed 3D sculptural form; dye samples; thermoplastic samples; project samples; OHS requirements; class handouts and recipes
Folio to check against both Projects
Special consideration Policy (Late Submission)
All assessment tasks are required to be completed to a satisfactory level. If you are unable to complete any piece of assessment by the due date, you will need to apply for an extension. Special consideration, appeals and discipline :
Penalties for late assessment:
Late submission or presentation of assessable work without an approved extension will be penalised as follows:
- Complete work submitted 1 to 7 days late will incur a penalty of 5% per day on your final mark
- Partial or incomplete work submitted 1 to 7 days late will incur a penalty of 5% per day on your final mark for the entire assessable work
- Work submitted after day 7 will be awarded an NN grade and 0% mark
