Overview of Assessment

Assessment for this course is ongoing throughout the semester. Your knowledge and understanding of course content is assessed through participation in class exercises, oral/written presentations, and the application of learned skills and insights. Full assessment briefs will be provided and can be found on CANVAS.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment 1: Placement Print

Due week 4

This project is one of three assessment tasks you need to complete satisfactorily, in order to be deemed competent for this unit. Completing this project allows you to demonstrate the ability to create a textile design for a placement print through a process of design development in response to a brief. 

 

Assessment 2: Textile Repeat Collection

Due week 9

This project is second of three assessment tasks you need to complete satisfactorily, in order to be deemed competent for this unit. Completing this project allows you to demonstrate the ability to respond to a brief, and create a hero design, in repeat, and two coordinates, and present your work on storyboards demonstrating the end use of each textile design.  

 

Assessment 3: Textile Design Portfolio

Due week 15

This project is third of three assessment tasks you need to complete satisfactorily, in order to be deemed competent for this unit. Completing this project allows you to demonstrate the ability to respond to multiple design briefs (provided in class) to create stand-alone designs that relate to your wider body of work. One of these designs will be collaborative, and you will be presenting your work on storyboards, in a cohesive folio showcasing your strongest work from the Certificate IV in Textile Design and Technology, and verbally presenting this to your peer group.

Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning:

Credit transfer is the recognition of previously completed formal learning (an officially accredited qualification).

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that allows you to demonstrate competence using the skills you have gained through experience in the workplace, voluntary work, informal or formal training or other life experiences.

Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) RCC applies only if you have previously successfully demonstrated competence in a unit of competency, and now requires to be reassessed to ensure that the competence is being maintained.

Please speak to your teacher if you wish to discuss applying for Credit Transfer, RPL, or RCC for the unit(s) of competency addressed in this course.
