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. Assessment tasks include practical class tasks and projects.

 

The RMIT assessment charter summarises your responsibilities as a student as well as those of your teachers.


Assessment Tasks

There will be two tasks which will enable students to investigate, design, plan (and run) an event/s. The Major Event and Minor Event tasks are designed as opportunities for students to learn and engage with the requirements of event design. There is also a LUX lighting exercise designed to help students gain a scientific understanding of lighting, enabling them to more accurately specify lighting requirements when they are working. Feedback will be given in class on these event tasks.

For the final assessment, students will be able to CHOOSE ONE of the following four options.

  1. Plan and design a wedding
  2. Plan and design a VIP event at Chadstone shopping centre
  3. Plan and design a Spring Carnival marquee event
  4. Plan and design a fashion Runway set.

Once you have demonstrated competency you will receive a grade for the summative assessment task.

Your final Assessment in this course uses the following grades:

CHD    Competent with High Distinction

CDI     Competent with Distinction

CC     Competent with Credit

CAG   Competency achieved

NYC   Not Yet Competent

DNS   Did not submit for Assessment

 

On time submission is an important factor in your assessment.  Employability skills are embedded in the course and these include planning, organising and self management.  For this reason, late work impacts on your overall grade for each assessment task.

Credit Transfers 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 life 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 demonstrated competence in a unit of competency, and now require to be reassessed to ensure that the competency addressed in this course.

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.
