Overview of Assessment

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments.

The assessment environment must include access to:

equipment and materials required to produce technical drawings
documented technical drawing requirements
workplace documentation
relevant people.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task 1 - Research CAD.

Assessment Task 2 - Drawing in CAD, simulated studio assessment.

Assessment Task 3 - Knowledge Questions

This course is delivered in accordance with competency based assessment (see list below), but also utilises graded assessment

CHD: Competent with High Distinction (4 GPA)

CDI: Competent with Distinction (3 GPA)

CC: Competent with Credit (2 GPA)

CAG: Competency Achieved – Graded (1 GPA)

NYC: Not Yet Competent

DNS: Did Not Submit for Assessment

Assessment Matrix

An assessment matrix demonstrating alignment of assessment tasks with the relevant Unit of Competency is available from the learning management system (myRMIT).
