Instructions to Students This Work Progress Assessment (WPA) can only be started after your teacher has verified your satisfactory completion of some/all of the Review Questions and Student Exercises for the relevant section in the Module Book – as they are part of your assessment These projects are not graded; they are assessed as either ‘satisfactory’ or ‘not yet satisfactory’ All 19 WPA’s must be assessed as ‘satisfactory’ to successfully complete this unit; as described in the UAG As a guide only, it is anticipated that a WPA will take an average student at least one hour to complete This is an open-book assessment (any resources may be used) and should be all YOUR OWN work – Do NOT allow your WPA to leave your desk Any student found gaining unfair advantage by copying from other students will face disciplinary action All questions must be attempted – answers to be written on this paper All drawings must be neat and legible – If you make a mistake, use attached additional sheet Each WPA must be completed and handed-in for assessment at the END OF EACH SESSION
