Assessment Tasks
To demonstrate competency in this course, you need to complete to a satisfactory standard the two assessment tasks outlined below .
Task 1 - you will research, design and develop two print-based resources that reflect client needs and the contexts of application. You will document: your consultation, research and findings; and the completed designs for the two resources. For one of the two resources you will conduct a review and trial of the resource, including user feedback and state how this impacted on the development of the resource. You will present the final print based resource, either complete or in part (or a sample thereof), and describe your specific role in the development process.
Task 2 - you will need to provide thorough answers, with full explanations and workplace examples where relevant, to the four questions found on pg 72 of Hill, Hill and Perlitz.
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 demonstrates how the assessment task(s) aligns with the relevant unit
of competency and will be made available through myRMIT Studies.
