Assessments at Central TAFE are competency based. Most modules, units or subjects in which you enrol will involve some form of assessment of your performance to determine whether or not you have achieved competence in the required outcomes.
In some cases the assessment will be by formal examinations or assignments, or a combination of exams and/or one or more forms of continuous assessment. Continuous assessment does not involve formal examinations at the end of a course or module but relies instead on the results of several assessments made throughout the course. Assignments, projects, field work, practical work, and written tests are all examples of types of assessment tasks that may be required.
Your Lecturer will advise you as to the times, dates, locations and requirements of assessment tasks. Students must be aware of due dates and times for assessments, as late assignments will only be accepted by your Lecturer under extenuating circumstances. Students should speak to their Lecturer regarding failed or missed assessments. Lecturers will advise of the best course of action.
Students may lodge an appeal against an academic result. Appeals must be lodged within four weeks of the date of your Statement of Academic Record being issued through Student Services 1300 300 822.
