Overview of Assessment
This unit will be assessed in the classroom environment using holistic assessment, based on typical workplace activities.
Assessment will comprise :
• A project covering elements 1, 2, 3 & 4 comprising a multi-storey reinforced concrete office building using industry drawings.
• A two hour mid-semester examination covering elements 1 & 2
• A two hour end-of-semester examination covering elements 3 & 4
