Assessment Tasks

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.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Grinding machines include one (1) or more of the following:

surface

cylindrical

centreless

Specifications include one (1) or more of the following:

dimensions and tolerances

geometry and tolerances

surface finish

Holding devices include one (1) or more of the following:

vices

clamps

magnetic chucks

face plates

collets

3/4 jaw chuck

Wheels include one (1) or more of the following:

shape

grit/bond composition

Balanced includes the following:

static and dynamic balancing

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.
