Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

initiative and creativity skills to design, visualise and create 3-D digital models of a range of inanimate objects using simple 3-D modelling techniques
self-management and planning skills to:
meet deadlines
prioritise work tasks
seek expert assistance when problems arise
technical skills to:
make backup copies of files and store appropriately
manage files and directories using standard naming conventions and version control protocols

issues and challenges that arise in the context of creating 3-D digital models
OHS standards as they relate to working for periods of time on computers
roles and responsibilities of project team members in the relevant industry sector
scale, form, weight and volume.
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
