Overview of Assessment
Assessments 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:
Assessment 1: Drawing Exercise
Weighting towards final grade (%):20
Assessment 2: Drawing Exercise
Weighting towards final grade (%): 40
Assessment 3: Competency Test
Weighting towards final grade (%): 40
These tasks assesses the following Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):

Assessment Tasks
All assessment tasks are drawing based assessments to be completed in 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% for the competency test and >50% for the drawing exercise 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. This course is graded as Competent or Not Yet Competent and subsequently the following course grades are allocated:
- Drawing Exercises (50%)
Students must draw plans, elevations, sections and details of a concrete and steel building to specifications stipulated in the learning guide and to current relevant standards.
- Competency Test (50%)
Students must draw sections and details of a concrete and steel building using 3rd angle projection to specifications stipulated in the learning guide and to current relevant standards.
80 - 100: CHD - Competent with High Distinction
70 - 79: CDI - Competent with Distinction
60 - 69: CC - Competent with Credit
50 - 59: CAG - Competency Achieved - Graded
0 - 49: NYC - Not Yet Competent
DNS - Did Not Submit for Assessment.
