Overview of Assessment

To achieve successful completion of this course, students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of competency.

Assessment tasks have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner.
Assessment will incorporate a variety of methods including producing a technical File, Report, Folio of Samples and Finished Product.

Students will be awarded a grade only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period on the first assessment attempt. Units assessed as ‘not yet competent’ on a first assessment attempt and ‘competent’ on a second or subsequent attempt are to have results amended to competent but are not eligible for grading. Detailed information about grading and assessment will be provided in class.


Assessment Tasks

There are three assessment tasks within this course:

Folio of Samples: trial runs and all development work submitted along with a professional folio of samples.

Finished Product:  A final product based on the production goals for final semester work.

Report:  Professionally presented, typed Report addressing specific points related to the process and outcome.

 

Technical File: Record all documentation of processes and technical specifications in a workbook. This workbook is submitted at assessment periods during the Term and again at the end of Term.

Further detail regarding Competency and Graded Assessment of these tasks will be provided in class.
