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, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Calculations are performed using one (1) or more of the following:

pen and paper

a calculator

tables

tablets

computers

Relevant sources include one (1) or more of the following:

charts

graphs

diagrams

measurement data

reference manuals

specifications

Applications include computations associated with one (1) or more of the following:

pressure

volume

temperature

heat

speed

power

elasticity

density

mass

force

Arithmetic operations include the following:

application of subtraction, addition, multiplication and division

manipulation of decimals, fractions and mixed numbers and whole numbers

using formulas

determining percentages

calculation of proportions and ratios

Charts and graphs include one (1) or more of the following:

simple histograms

control charts

pie charts

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.
