Overview of Assessment
Context of assessment
This unit is most appropriately assessed in the computer laboratory using holistic assessment, based on a variety of simulated work tasks to set time frames.
Assessment Method
Assessment of this unit will involve completion of:
• A series of small assignments from within a project assessed in class and covering the basic elements of preparing structural steel drawings to industry standards (100%).
The format of the assignments and tests will employ case studies and scenarios based on typical workplace activities addressing industry standards
The industry standards applied will reflect those stated in the curriculum document under the sub-heading : ‘Critical aspects of assessment’
