Overview of Assessment
Assessment for this course will involve demonstration of practical tasks and underpinning theory knowledge.
Assessment Tasks
You must submit all pieces of assessment in order for your competency to be assessed in this course..
Assessment tasks in this course are either formative or summative. Formative tasks provide the basis for ongoing feedback and can be considered as essential building blocks for the more substantial summative assessment tasks. summative assessment tasks in this unit are graded
To demonstrate competency in this course, you will need to complete each one of the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard. You will receive feedback on all assessments and a grade for the summative assessment. For further information on the assessements and grading criteria, please refer to the course Blackboard site.
Formative Assessment
Open-book practical assessment task: - 240 volt connector attachment.
(Conducted during Tuesday class #1)
Each student will connect a male & female 240 volt connector to a length of three-core flexible cable. For this task you will be assessed both on your ability to attach the connectors as well as your ability to plan the task (obtain all necessary materials and tools)
Summative Assessment
Open-book practical assessment task: - 240 volt power cable testing. (Conducted during Tuesday class #1 or 2 or one of the Monday classes)
Each student will use both a multimeter and a portable appliance tester to test for electrical safety the 240 volt power cable that was constructed during this course and report on cable status.
The details on these assessments and the grading criteria for this competency can be found on the course blackboard site.
Grades used in this unit are as follows:
CA Competency Achieved
NYC Not Yet Competent
DNS Did Not Submit For Assessment
Assessment Matrix
The assessment matrix demonstrated alignment of assessment tasks with the relevant Unit of Competency. These are available through the course contact in Program administration.
