Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Requirements of resin system include the following:

strength

flexibility/rigidity

surface finish and colour

shrinkage

chemical/ultraviolet (UV)/environmental resistance

operating temperature and heat distortion temperature

recyclability

Most appropriate resin includes the following:

compliance with product requirements

greatest ease of use in manufacture

best financial return

greatest sustainability contribution

Resin system adjustments include one (1) or more of the following:

temperature

humidity

required cure time

Adjustments may only be made within the allowable limits of the system being used

Areas for improvement include one (1) or more of the following:

cost/benefit of different resin systems

selecting a resin system suited to the fabrication process

Sustainability includes the following:

survival of the ecology/physical environment

economic viability

social sustainability

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
