Each of the 19 assessment events must be successfully completed in order to demonstrate competence in this unit
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 |
