Assessment Tasks
There are 2 project based assessments (one of the assessments might have a Part A and a Part B to be submitted at different times), and 3 learning outcomes tests. The culmination of all assessments contributes to the final result for this course.
Under special circumstances extension to assessment may be granted. Students are to follow RMIT Special Consideration Policy found in RMIT Policies and procedures link http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=3g3whh1vttr0z;STATUS=A;SECTION=19;PAGE_AUTHOR=Chancellery (unresolved)
Assessment Tasks
Assessment 1- 2 – Assignments/Project Based Assessment
The project based assessments will focus on different elements of the learning activities and address the students ability to both problem solve and provide meaningful solutions to the practical exercises that cover:
- Site establishment and on site operations.
The project based assessments will have a weighting of between 15 - 20% each of the final overall assessment mark (final weighting will be advised by teacher).
Assessments 3, 4, & 5 – Written Learning Outcomes Tests (closed book)
This written learning outcome tests will a cover elements 1, 5 and parts of other elements not assessed by the assignments.
These tests will have a weighting of 20% each of the final overall assessment mark.

Assessment Matrix
Other Information
Competency requirements:
To be deemed competent students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a competency. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks.
Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met.
All assessments for this course must be completed to achieve CA (Competency Achieved) grade. (65% equates to being competent per assessment). A competent grade for each assessment is required to pass this course..
Each assessment task will also carry a numerical weighting to be used for grading purposes. The grade applied to this weighting will only be awarded if a CA has been achieved in all compulsory assessment tasks.
If a student has been marked NYC (Not Yet Competent) in any of the assessment tasks, the weighting will carry no value until the student has obtained CA.
If a CA is achieved on re-assessment then a maximum mark of 50% of the original weighting will be granted for that assessment.
