Overview of Assessment
Assessment is on-going throughout the course. Assessment tasks will require you demonstrate the application of knowledge and skills through practical projects and/or activities using best industry practices.
The assessment tasks include:
Knowledge tests
Production projects incorporating design and printed outcomes
An assessment charter summarises your responsibilities as an RMIT student as well as those of your teachers.
Assessment Tasks
This course has 4 assessments, which must all be completed and submitted.
There are also exercises which provide the basis for ongoing feedback and can be considered essential building blocks for the more substantial assessment projects. You should engage in all exercises. The exercises help provide evidence of competency.
