Overview of Assessment
This course may be assessed through a range of practical exercises, assignments and progressive tests.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment for this course consists of Laboratory Exercise, 2 Projects and 2 Practical Tests as outlined in the table below.
For the Practical Test you will be given a brief which specifies the requirements of a Industrial control system for which you are to create a project in class within a given time limit.
When the time is up, your Assessor will come around to assess you.
