Students will be able to access information and learning materials through myRMIT and may be provided with additional materials in class. List of relevant reference books, resources in the library and accessible Internet sites will be provided where possible. During the course, you will be directed to websites to enhance your knowledge and understanding of difficult concepts.
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 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% or greater for the competency tests and assignments combined. If a student fails to submit an assessment they may only pass the course if the elements of competency of that assessment have been passed in another submission. If a re-submission is granted by a teacher, 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. Students may achieve a higher grade if they have been formally granted special consideration by the RMIT Special Consideration Department.
Assessment 1: Drawing Exercise (due in Week 5)
Weighting towards final grade (%): 20%
Students must draw plans, elevations, sections and details of a concrete building to specifications stipulated in the learning guide and to current relevant standards.
Assessment 2: Drawing Exercise (due in Week 15)
Weighting towards final grade (%): 40%
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.
Assessment 3: Competency Test (due in Week 17/18)
Weighting towards final grade (%): 40%
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.
