case studies to assess ability to apply information to different work contexts

questioning and discussion of the candidate's intention and work outcome

written or verbal reports on the application of selected information on history and theory to own area of work

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties e.g. speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Assessment of this unit requires access to history and theory information sources.
