Overview of Assessment

The assessment is conducted in both the theoretical and practical aspects of the course, following the performance criteria set in the National Training Package. 
Assessment methods may encompass a variety of approaches, including written and oral activities, as well as the demonstration of practical skills aligned with 
relevant industry standards. Participants should be aware that they may be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher or assessor. 
Feedback will be consistently provided throughout the course.To successfully complete this course, you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment 
task within this unit.


Assessment Tasks

Assessments:

- Assessment Task 1: Research Project 1 and Team meetings

- Assessment Task 2: Research Project 2 and Team meetings

 

To be deemed competent, student must achieve satisfactory (S) results in ALL assessments.
This course is assessed as Competent or Not Yet Competent and subsequently the following course results are allocated:

CA - Competency Achieved
NYC - Not Yet Competent
DNS - Did Not Submit for Assessment.

Assessment Due Dates

All assessment tasks will have a due date provided and published in Canvas. Assessments submitted after the due date will not be accepted unless an extension has been provided or special consideration has been granted.

Assessment Resubmissions (if Unsatisfactory)

You will be allowed 1 (ONE) resubmission attempt FOR EVERY ASSESSMENT (if unsatisfactory). You will be provided with a new due date by your teacher for your resubmission attempt if a resubmission is required.

If you do not submit your assessment (First attempt) by the due date you will not be eligible for resubmission if unsatisfactory.
