Overview of Assessment
Assessment is ongoing throughout the course and will include 3 projects. The first of these will be an Industry driven brief, where you will respond creatively and present your ideas and testing analysis/ documentation. The remaining 2 assessments are student-centred and support the research, design and production process to support your selected body of work within a print, knit or weave focus. Full assessment briefs will be provided and can be found on My RMIT.
This course is assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment. To demonstrate competency in this course you will need to complete all the assessment to a satisfactory standard.
You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task.
Competency is achieved only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period. Students are advised that they may be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to confirm aspects of competency not evidenced in class or through assessments.
Students will be eligible for a graded result higher than Competency achieved only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period and on the first assessment attempt. Tasks assessed as ‘not yet competent’ on a first assessment attempt and ‘competent’ on a second or subsequent attempt are to have results amended to competent but will not be eligible for grading
