List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. | Prepare for basic surveying computations. | 1.1. | Computational requirements are identified in consultation with appropriate persons. |
| 1.2. | Computational procedures are identified according to industry and organisational requirements. |
| 1.3. | Computational equipment is selected according to computational and organisational requirements. |
| | | |
2. | Calculate basic surveying data. | 2.1. | Computations are performed on angles and bearings according to computational requirements and using computational equipment. |
| 2.2. | Conversions between polar and rectangular coordinates are performed according to computational requirements. |
| 2.3. | Computations are performed on the coordinates of a simple closed traverse. |
| | | |
3. | Finalise work processes. | 3.1. | Computations and conversions are finalised and their accuracy confirmed according to computational requirements. |
| 3.2. | Data is recorded according to organisational requirements. |
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit. The person must also accurately perform basic computations for two different surveying computational tasks, demonstrating the ability to:
calculate perimeter and areas of simple regular figures
calculate adjusted coordinates of points on a closed traverse
convert between:
polar and rectangular coordinates
vertical angles and gradients and vice versa
check accuracy of above computations.
During the above surveying computational tasks, the person must:
communicate clearly with others to clarify work tasks and computational results
comply with organisational requirements and industry-accepted methods for systematically and legibly laying out computations
use organisational documents to complete required records.
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:
common surveying and mathematical terms used in basic surveying computations
industry-accepted methods for performing and laying out different types of basic surveying computations
organisational policies and procedures for completing surveying records and documentation.
The following must be present and available to learners during assessment activities:
equipment:
scientific or programmable calculator or software application
specifications:
task specifications
relationships with team members and supervisor:
working under supervision.
Timeframe:
as specified by task and organisational requirements.
Assessor requirements
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.
