Written work assessment tasks are used to measure

Written work
Assessment tasks are used to measure your understanding of the unit of competency. When
undertaking any written assessment tasks, please ensure that you address the following
criteria:
 Address each question including any sub-points
 Demonstrate that you have researched the topic thoroughly
 Cover the topic in a logical, structured manner
 Your assessment tasks are well presented, well referenced and word processed
 Your assessment tasks include your full legal name on each and every page.
Active participation
It is a condition of enrolment that you actively participate in your studies. Active
participation is completing all the assessment tasks on time.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and
representing them as your own. Plagiarism is a serious act and may result in a learner’s
exclusion from a course. When you have any doubts about including the work of other
authors in your assessment, please consult your trainer/assessor. The following list outlines
some of the activities for which a learner can be accused of plagiarism:
 Presenting any work by another individual as one's own unintentionally
 Handing in assessments markedly similar to or copied from another learner
 Presenting the work of another individual or group as their own work

 Handing in assessments without the adequate acknowledgement of sources used,
including assessments taken totally or in part from the internet.
If it is identified that you have plagiarised within your assessment, then a meeting will be
organised to discuss this with you, and further action may be taken accordingly.
Collusion
Collusion is the presentation by a learner of an assignment as their own that is, in fact, the
result in whole or in part of unauthorised collaboration with another person or persons.
Collusion involves the cooperation of two or more learners in plagiarism or other forms of
academic misconduct and, as such, both parties are subject to disciplinary action. Collusion
or copying from other learners is not permitted and will result in a Not Competent outcome.
Assessments must be typed using document software such as (or similar to) MS Office.
Handwritten assessments will not be accepted (unless, prior written confirmation is
provided by the trainer/assessor).
Competency outcome
There are two outcomes of assessments: S = Satisfactory and NS = Not Satisfactory (requires
more training and experience).
Once the learner has satisfactorily completed all the tasks for this module the learner will be
awarded “Competent” (C) or “Not Competent” (NC) for the relevant unit of competency.
If you are deemed “Not Competent” you will be provided with feedback from your assessor
and will be given another chance to resubmit your assessment task(s). If you are still
deemed as “Not Competent” you will be required to re-enrol in the unit of competency.
