Details of Learning Activities
Students will use the Planning and Time Management chart in the learning material to assist them through the course. The chart lists all your topics and their learning outcomes, and the activities and assessments to complete. Following this chart is the best way to monitor your progress and ensure you meet all deadlines.
This course runs for an 9 week duration (approximately 4 hours per week) consisting of both; in-class time and out of hours study. Students are expected to complete the project assessment either during scheduled class time or in their own time.
Students will submit their assessment projects and activities as indicated in the Learning Guide and feedback on activities and assessments will be provided during and after submission.
All work must be presented as specified by your teacher and as per the instructions in the learning guide. Students are required to be professional in both presentation and attitude, including meeting of deadlines. Plagiarism is strictly forbidden. Students must ensure they have read the plagiarism statement in the Course Outlines online.
A schedule of assessments can be found below and in the learning guides.

Overview of Assessment
Assessment are conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the performance criteria set out in the National Training Package. Students are required to undertake summative assessments that bring together knowledge and skills. To successfully complete this course you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment tasks detailed under the Assessment Task Section.
Your assessment for this course will be marked using the following table:
NYC (<50%) Not Yet Competent
CAG (50-59%) Competent - Pass
CC (60-69%) Competent - Credit
CDI (70-79%) Competent - Distinction
CHD (80-100%) Competent - High Distinction
Assessment Tasks
All assessment tasks are drawing based assessments to be completed on the CAD program taught in class. Each assessment gradually steps up in degrees of difficulty as the student develops and gains greater experience with the program and Engineering concepts. Below is a Marking Guideline to assist students understand the grading system and what it takes to achieve a higher grade and improve their performance. A Marking guideline matrix appears in the learning guide for this course.
Students must achieve a result of >50% combined for the assessment tasks and >50% for the competency test to pass this course.
If a re-submission is granted, or an alternative assessment offered and a pass grade achieved, then students will not be eligible for a grade higher than 50% regardless of the standard of work.
Assessment 1: Horizontal Alignment Plan 20%
Students must draw a horizontal alignment plan of a proposed new develooment.
Assessment 1: Contour Plan 10%
A contour plan of a small area of land is to be plotted.
Assessment 2: Longitudinal Section 10%
Students must draw a longitudinal section along the center of a road showing the existing and new surface level.
Assessment 2: Cross Sections 20%
Students are required to draw cross sections along the length of a road showing the existing and new surface level.
Assessment 3: Intersection Contour Plan 10%
An intersection contour plan is to be drafted according to AS1100 conventions.
Assessment 4: Test 30%
Students will be required to draw a longitudinal section using the information provided.
