Assessment Tasks
Assessment task 1 : 30%
Assessment task 1 will be two practical tests.
Assessment task 2: 30%
A Digital project: - Students will be required to construct and test a project based on PLDs or FPGAs and will be required to produce a project report. The project will commence on week 10 and students need to demonstrate the working project and submit the reports by week 17. The project details will be provided on the learning hub and student’s local drive.
Assessment task 3 : 40%
A Written Examination will be held on week 18 based on all the learning aspects of these competencies.
