INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS
General Assessment Information
This information is designed to provide you with a full overview of the tasks you need to
successfully complete to be deemed competent in this unit.
You must achieve a satisfactory performance in each of the assessment tasks in order to be
deemed competent in the relevant unit. Where necessary, the assessment tasks are divided into
parts or steps. These are designed to take you through a step by step approach to completing the
activities.
Instructions
First and foremost, please contact your assessor to discuss any necessary adjustments that may
need to be made prior to completing these tasks. The instructions for each of the assessment
tasks are logically sequenced. If you have any questions, contact your assessor immediately. If
there is a practical component to your assessment, you will need to discuss the arrangements for
its completion with your assessor in advance.
Assessment Cover Sheet
Once you have completed all of the tasks, complete the Assessment Cover Sheet, sign the
declaration and forward along with your documentation to your assessor. It should be uploaded
along with the assessment on to the RTO manager.
Submitting Assessment Tasks
All written assessment tasks must be typed and submitted with the provided cover sheet.
Your trainer/assessor will tell you when assessments are due. It is your responsibility to ensure
that assessment tasks are submitted on or before their due date.
Extensions for individual assessment tasks may be negotiated with your trainer in specific
circumstances. You must request this prior to the due date, and extensions due to illness will
require a medical certificate. Extensions will be confirmed by your trainer/assessor.
Where assessment tasks are submitted following the conclusion of the unit of competency without
a medical certificate or extension, a late submission fee for each assessment task will be charged.
Assessment Outcomes
There are two outcomes of assessment tasks: S = Satisfactory and NS = Not Satisfactory (requires
more training and experience).
You will be awarded C = Competent on completion of the unit when you have achieved S for all
completed assessment tasks and by meeting all the performance criteria. If you fail to meet this
requirement, you will receive the result NYC = Not Yet Competent and will be eligible to be re-
assessed according to George Brown College policy.
If you are deemed Not Competent by your assessor and require re-assessment, you will be
informed of the process. A fee may be charged according to George Brown College policy.
If all assessment tasks are not completed for a qualification, a certificate will not be awarded. A
Statement of Attainment for completed units of competency will be provided.

BSBWRT401 Write complex documents
Your Results
Your assessor is committed to providing you with detailed feedback on the outcomes of the
assessment and will provide guidance on areas for improvement. In most instances, you should
only need to complete the sections of the assessment that were deemed not satisfactory.
However, it is important to remember that depending on the task, it may be necessary to repeat the
whole task (for example presentations or the delivery of a training session).
You are entitled to view your results at any time by viewing them once they are uploaded on
RTOManager.
Reasonable Adjustment
George Brown College supports individual differences in the learning environment and provides
‘reasonable adjustment’ in training and assessment activities to support every learner. If you have
any special needs that make it difficult for you to complete your learning or assessments, you
should discuss this with your assessor beforehand and will be provided with reasonable
alternatives to assist you to complete the required tasks such as completing tests verbally or using
an interpreter.
What happens if you do not agree with the assessment result?
If you do not think the assessment process is valid, or disagree with the decision once it is made,
or believe that you have been treated unfairly, you can appeal. The first step is to discuss the
matter with your trainer.
If you still do not agree with the results, refer to the GBC Complaints and Appeals Policy and speak
to the Student Services Team.
Support
While we may not be in a position to assist you with language training or specific LLN training, our
assessors will work with you to ensure that you are supported throughout your qualification. If you
require individual tutoring this may attract an additional fee (see Student Handbook). Support may
be offered by your assessor, or for more specialist support you may need to contact GBC
administration.
A Note on Plagiarism and Referencing
Plagiarism is a form of theft where the work, ideas, inventions etc. of other people are presented as
your own. Information, ideas etc. quoted or paraphrased from another source such as the Internet,
must be acknowledged with “quotation marks” around the relevant words/sentences or ideas and
the source listed in brackets. You must also list the sources at the end of your assessment.
Sources of information, ideas etc. must be provided in alphabetical order by author’s surname
(including author’s full name, name of document/ book / internet etc. and year and place of
publishing) or may be included in brackets in the text.
As a general rule it is advisable to never copy another person’s work. Should it appear that a
student’s work has been copied or does not appear to be authentic, you will be asked to speak to
your Course Coordinator and required to re-submit it. A fee may be charged according to George
Brown College policy.
Contacting the RTO
If you should need further support or assistance please do not hesitate to contact The Student
Services Team.

Question 21
You are to use the following plain text and re-write it using correct rules and conventions for proper

‘Chores, chores, chores and chores’ are boring. Scrubbing toilets, cleaning sinks and washing
bathtubs take up a lot of my time and are not at all fun. Toilets! When you are scrubbing toilets,
make sure that they are not stinky. I have scrubbed one before and I was lucky that it did not
stink. I think toilets are the hardest ones to scrub in the bathroom because it is hard to get up
around the rim. Sinks are one of the easiest to clean in the bathroom because they have no rims
and they are small. I have cleaned one before and it was pretty easy. Bathtubs! Ever washed
one? They are big, they are deep and it is hard to get around the sides. I think the bathtub is the
hardest thing to wash in the bathroom. All chores are boring, especially making my bed.
Cleaning my room is okay because I have to organize and I like organizing. Dusting is the worst.
There are so many things to dust and it is no fun. Chores are not the worst but they are definitely
not the best.

ASSESSMENT 2: PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION
Overview
For this assessment you are to demonstrate that you have the skills and knowledge to:
 Plan, draft and finalise complex documents that require review and analysis of a range of
information sources
 Edit the draft text to ensure accuracy and clarity of information, obtain feedback on the draft
and revise the draft
 Use business technology to apply formatting, and incorporate graphics
 Apply the enterprise style guide/style guide (your trainer will give you a copy of this)
For this assessment you are to read the following report and complete the tasks that follow.
There are three parts to this assessment. You must complete them all.
Report
Case Study
You work at Real Logistics as the Human Resources Co-ordinator. lately, courtesy and respect
for others is being overlooked during staff and team meetings because some participants are
using their personal mobile phones during the meetings. The complaints are not linked to use
of company owned mobile phones. There were no specific complaints about use of personal
mobile phones at any other times in the workplace.
You have received a number of complaints from staff about this so you look for a relevant policy
about use of personal mobile phones that applies to all staff in the company and includes:
 Mobile phones are banned in staff meetings
 Mobile phones may be used in exceptional circumstances but only with the permission
of the appropriate manager or chair
What you find is that there is no official organisational policy regarding phone use.
You decide to conduct a staff survey on staff attitudes to personal mobile phone use in staff and
team meetings.
You produce a questionnaire using the Likert scales, which asks employees to rate their
response to the following statements.
Personal mobile phone usage in staff and team meetings is…
 Not a problem
 An issue
 Disruptive
 Phones should be permissible
 Phones should be turned off
 Allowed in some circumstances
You ask if people
Student Assessment Guide v 1 January 2019 Page 18 of 27

BSBWRT401 Write complex documents
 Strongly agree
 Agree
 Disagree
 Strongly disagree
The questionnaire was distributed with employees’ fortnightly payslips.
There are 412 employees.
Survey collection boxes were located in every branch for four weeks.
No personal information was collected.
The survey was voluntary and anonymous.
The results of this survey are as follows.
350 employees responded to the questionnaire.
Personal mobile phone usage in staff and team meetings is…
Not a problem
 Strongly agree 18
 Agree 25
 Disagree 228
 Strongly disagree 21
An issue
 Strongly agree 140
 Agree 158
 Disagree 35
 Strongly disagree 18
Disruptive
 Strongly agree 280
 Agree 35
 Disagree 25
 Strongly disagree 11
Phones should be permissible
 Strongly agree 21
 Agree 56
 Disagree 196
 Strongly disagree 77
Phones should be turned off
 Strongly agree 298
 Agree 35
 Disagree 11
 Strongly disagree 7
Allowed in some circumstances
 Strongly agree 35
Student Assessment Guide v 1 January 2019 Page 19 of 27

BSBWRT401 Write complex documents
 Agree 182
 Disagree 84
 Strongly disagree 49
The survey also asked employees to comment on whether they thought there were any
circumstances where mobile phones should be allowed in meetings.
It also sought staff attitudes towards receiving personal phone calls in staff meetings by using open
ended questions. These results showed that staff thought that in some circumstances, e.g. medical
or emergencies, receiving personal phone calls was acceptable, but generally receiving personal
phone calls was not necessary. Most people, however, thought in these circumstances,
permission should be sought from whoever is leading the meeting. Opinion was that rules should
apply to everyone in the company.
You find from researching the internet that there has been a massive increase in the use of
personal mobile phones over the last couple of years and there is every indication that this will
continue. You find a graph on a blog site https://yump.com.au/2016-australian-mobile-statistics-
how-digital-is-increasingly-a-mobile-first-experience/, which you think might be useful to
demonstrate this fact.
You have also found (by searching through personnel records) that currently 89% of staff have
personal mobile phones.
You did some internet research that showed many companies have banned the use of mobile
phones in meetings because it was too disruptive and time wasting through causing unnecessary
interruptions. This affects time management, productivity and team focus.
