Apply Structural Principles Assessment - CPC40110, CPCCBC4011B

This student assessment pack, submitted by Dhilen, pertains to the unit CPCCBC4011B, focusing on applying structural principles to commercial low-rise constructions. The assessment includes a student declaration, trainer and student details, and an assessment overview outlining the unit description, prerequisites, relevant legislation, key competencies, performance evidence, and knowledge evidence. The assessment tasks consist of a unit knowledge test, a unit project involving site visits and a report, and a presentation/roleplay component. The assessment results indicate that the student's performance was not satisfactory, with the knowledge test incomplete and the project and presentation tasks not completed. The document also includes detailed assessment guidelines, submission instructions, re-submission policies, and information on reasonable adjustments, learning support, plagiarism, appeals, course credits, and RPL. Feedback to the student is provided, and the document emphasizes the importance of feedback in the learning process. The final outcome for the unit is recorded as 'Not Yet Competent' by the assessor, Nasser Babaee, with detailed comments on the shortcomings in the student's work.

Feedback to student
Feedback on students’ assessment performance is a vital element in their learning. Its purpose is to justify

work, to recommend aspects needing improvement, and to guide students on what steps to take.
Feedback defines for students what their trainer/assessor thinks is important for a topic or a subject. At its
best, feedback should:
• Be provided for each Unit Assessment Task (UAT)
• Guide students to adapt and adjust their learning strategies
• Guide trainers/assessors to adapt and adjust teaching to accommodate students’ learning needs
• Be a pivotal feature of learning and assessment design, not an add-on ritual

• Focus on course and unit learning outcomes
• Guide students to become independent and self-reflective learners and their own critics
• Acknowledge the developmental nature of learning
If students have not received proper feedback, they must speak to VET department/administration
department in the RTO/person responsible for looking after the VET department/administration of the RTO.
