Assessment deadlines penalty
It is expected that unless a simple extension, special consideration or disability services adjustment has been granted, candidates will submit all assessments for a unit of study on the specified due date. If the assessment is completed or submitted within the period of extension, no academic penalty will be applied to that piece of assessment.
If an extension is either not sought, not granted or is granted but work is submitted after the extended due date, the late submission of assessment will result in a late penalty fee. For further information, please refer to the Assessment Policy.
Assessment/evidence gathering conditions
Each assessment component is recorded as either Satisfactory (S) or Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS). A student can only achieve competence when all assessment components listed under procedures and specifications of the assessment section are Satisfactory. Your trainer will give you feedback after the completion of each assessment. A student who is assessed as NYS is eligible for re-assessment. Should the student fail to submit the assessment, a result outcome of Did Not Submit (DNS) will be recorded.
Principles of Assessment
Based on Clauses 1.8 – 1.12 from the Australian Standards Quality Assurance’s (ASQA) Standards for Registered Training Organizations (RTO) 2015, the learner would be assessed based on the following principles:
Fairness - (1) the individual learner’s needs are considered in the assessment process, (2) where appropriate, reasonable adjustments are applied by the RTO to take into account the individual leaner’s needs and, (3) the RTO informs the leaner about the assessment process, and provides the learner with the opportunity to challenge the result of the assessment and be reassessed if necessary.
Flexibility – assessment is flexible to the individual learner by; (1) reflecting the learner’s needs, (2) assessing competencies held by the learner no matter how or where they have been acquired and, (3) the unit of competency and associated assessment requirements, and the individual.
Validity – (1) requires that assessment against the unit/s of competency and the associated assessment requirements covers the broad range of skills and knowledge, (2) assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their practical application, (3) assessment to be based on evidence that demonstrates that a leaner could demonstrate these skills and knowledge in other similar situations and, (4) judgement of competence is based on evidence of learner performance that is aligned to the unit/s of competency and associated assessment requirements.
Reliability – evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted and assessment results are comparable irrespective of the assessor conducting the assessment
Rules of Evidence
Validity – the assessor is assured that the learner has the skills, knowledge and attributes, as described in the module of unit of competency and associated assessment requirements.
Sufficiency – the assessor is assured that the quality, quantity and relevance of the assessment evidence enables a judgement to be made of a learner’s competency.
Authenticity – the assessor is assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the learner’s own work. This would mean that any form of plagiarism or copying of other’s work may not be permitted and would be deemed strictly as a ‘Not Yet Competent’ grading.
Currency – the assessor is assured that the assessment evidence demonstrates current competency. This requires the assessment evidence to be from the present or the very recent past.

Procedures and Specifications of the Assessment
Task 1
You must demonstrate the ability to identify organisational requirements and establish standards for producing documents.
For this task you are required to review the scenario provided below, and develop standards and guidelines for producing documents. You will also be required to apply the standards you develop to an existing document.
You ae provided with a text file (see appendix 1), ‘MACVILLE Disciplinary Dismissal Policy’, for use in Step 3 of this procedure.
1. Review the scenario provided above.
2. Develop a one-page style guide outlining the standards for designing policy and procedure documents. The style guide should:
a. ensure format of documents is appropriate to purpose and intended audience for document
b. displays information in a way that enhances readability
c. outline how documents should be named and stored
d. address:
i. font
ii. spacing
iii. bullet and numbering standards
iv. headings
v. margins.
3. Use the text file ‘MACVILLE Disciplinary Dismissal Policy’ and format it in MS Word according to the style guide you have established. Submit the reformatted policy as an example to illustrate your style guide.
Task 2
1. Review the scenario provided in Appendix 1 of this Assessment Task.
2. Review the policy and procedure documents provided in Appendix 2 of this assessment task.
3. Identify three forms required by the organisation.
4. Create templates for each of the forms. You must:
· Use appropriate software to create the template.
· Incorporate a range of formulas, functions and macros where appropriate.
· Provide explanatory notes for each of the templates, detailing how information is to be managed or input and how the form is to be stored or submitted when completed. Explanatory notes should also indicate any sections of the form that should be checked prior to use (e.g. check that department list reflects current organisational structure). Include reference to the use of at least one macro.
· Adhere to the MacVille guidelines for electronic documents and data entry in Appendix 3
· Ensure the templates are appropriately named and stored.
5. Submit the templates electronically (in a template format and printed out).
6. Have someone complete the forms (following your explanatory notes), and provide written feedback on the usability of each form. Provide users with enough information such as incident details, etc to be able to complete forms. To allow you to monitor the effectiveness of the templates you have designed, leave users free to make errors in using the template, especially if the templates or explanatory notes are unclear or deficient.
7. Provide a written reflection on monitoring the use of templates, evaluation of effectiveness of templates and continuous improvement that:
· Evaluates the quality of documents produced by users against MacVille guidelines.
· Describes the use (or misuse) of standard templates and macros by users.
· Describes possible amendments you could make to each form, in response to feedback provided and to ensure better quality outcomes for MacVille documentation. Review scenario and justify your possible amendments by referring to organisational plans and future requirements for the HR department with respect to output, document quality, budgetary constraints, etc.
Your assessor will be looking for:
· A sample (blank) form submitted, with a completed copy, feedback statement and amendments statement, submitted in paper copy for each of the three forms developed.
· An accompanying electronic form saved and submitted in a standard template format, for each of the three forms developed.
· A secondary worksheet in the template for each form, including clear instruction for:
· how to provide information for the document
· how and where to save the completed e-form
· how and where to submit the completed printed form
· particular sections of the form that should be checked prior to use.
Candidates must demonstrate the ability to present and clearly communicate instructions about use and completion of document templates.
You are required to conduct a training session for the class, demonstrating the instructions for using and completing one of the templates you have designed.
1. Conduct training session in class, demonstrating how to use and complete your template. The training should not take more than 10 minutes.
2. A participant should be selected to complete the template as per the demonstrated instructions.
3. Selected participant to provide verbal feedback on use of template.
Case study
The Human Resource department of MacVille is responsible for the management of personnel. Two key functions of the department are induction of new staff, and ongoing communication with existing staff, regarding company policies, procedures and expectations.
Currently, the department manages a small number of policy documents which are periodically created as required. They are often poorly formatted. The HR department has a shared network drive for storage of documents, however files are often not named so that they will be easily retrievable in the future.
As MacVille grows, so will the level of documentation required, so it is important that a system be implemented to streamline this process. As a new member of the team, you have been asked by the HR manager to devise and develop a replacement system to ensure that policy and procedure documents are created according to standard guidelines.
