Details of Learning Activities
Your learning activities will take place in a studio, workshop or classroom using industry standard tools and resources. You will complete exercises and industry
style projects. You will also be required to undertake independent study.
In class activities will include:
• lectures
• brain storming and group discussion
• online and library research
• market research
• independent project based work
• teacher directed group activities/projects
• demonstration and application of OHS rules
• demonstration of a range of techniques
• ‘workshopping’ of student projects
• analysis/critique of own and peer group design solutions
Out of class activities will include:
• Exhibitions
Teaching Schedule
Teaching Schedule
Please note: There will be 2 versions of 3D design process; one in a flat clasroom and 1 in a 3D Workshop, the later orientated to those students following a 3Dimensional pathway.
Both versions cover the competencies for this course
Your teacher will cover most materials involved in the flat classroom and wokshop practices. Those explained in the following schedule relate to the flat clasroom.
The weekly order is subject to change depending on class needs and
availability of speakers and resources.

Overview of Assessment
Assessment is on-going throughout the course. Assessment will incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of knowledge and skills and will include practical tasks and practical projects.
Assessment tasks are:
1. Project 1 40%
2. Project 2 30%
3. Project 3 30%
An assessment charter summarises your responsibilities as an RMIT student as well as those of your teachers.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment tasks in this course are either formative or summative. Formative tasks provide the basis for ongoing feedback and can be considered essential building blocks for the more substantial summative assessment tasks. Summative assessment tasks in this course are graded.
Feedback throughout the course may be written, verbal or a combination of both.
To demonstrate competency in this course you need to complete each one of the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard.
The submitted projects will be assessed with written feedback as well as a quality indicator that relates to separate components of the project and the overall outcome.
Certificate 4 in Design will undertake the following:
Student have the opportunity to work in the 3D workshop or a studio flat classroom
1 X practical Formative task and OHS
2 X Summative Projects
Task
Research and realise creative ideas using 3 Dimensional skills and applications
Due week 7
Project 1
Research, realise and explore 3 Dimensional skills and techniques to create products suitable for the market place
Due week 11
Project 2
Explore design processes, research, realization and production using appropriate materials skills, techniques and applications and evaluate design solutions and presentation.
Due week 17
