Manage advanced surveying computations

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
Registered Training Organisations
Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver CPPSIS5023A, 'Manage advanced surveying computations'.
Google Links
links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
Books
Reference books for 'Manage advanced surveying computations' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)


Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

1Prepare to perform advanced traverse computations.

1.1 Task objectives are defined.

1.2 Pertinent standards are identified, considered and adhered to according to project specifications.

1.3 Principal work activities and constraints in relation to advanced traverse computations are defined and documented according to client requirements.

1.4 Information on identified risks, contingencies, risk management processes and required resources are included in task objectives.

1.5 Requirements of the job and the computations are clarified with relevant personnel according to organisational guidelines.

1.6 Work is allocated to appropriate personnel and supervisory processes, checks and measures are implemented to ensure work is completed within time available.

1.7 OHS requirements are planned for and adhered to.

1.8 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in surveying computations.

2Arrange for the task to be executed.

2.1 Arrangements are made for computations to be performed on angles and bearings.

2.2 Requirements for conversions between polar and rectangular modes are communicated to relevant personnel and performed.

2.3 Computations performed on the coordinates of a simple closed traverse, and the missing elements and adjusted coordinates of a traverse, are supervised.

2.4 Arrangements are made for traverse information to be reduced from field notes.

2.5 Traverse misclose computations adjustment process is supervised.

2.6 Computation problems involving linear figures of constant width are communicated to relevant personnel and solved.

2.7 Organisational documented and undocumented practices are communicated to relevant personnel and adhered to.

3Arrange for the computation of surveying problems involving circular curves.

3.1 Computations are performed on all elements of circular curves.

3.2 Problems involving circular curve missing elements are communicated to relevant personnel and solved.

4Supervise the completion of the task.

4.1 All required documentation is communicated to relevant personnel and completed promptly, accurately and according to organisational guidelines.

4.2 Spatial data is archived according to project specifications.
