Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AHCPER323 - Use the characteristics of plant resilience in a permaculture system

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Conduct observations of resilient plants for a permaculture site

  1. Identify resilient plant species and record in field notes for permaculture site
  2. Assess scope and size of resilient plant populations
  3. Investigate soil characteristics, water availability and terrain of site
  4. Investigate history of land use and management strategies of site
  5. Observe biological processes attributed to resilient plant species
  6. Record identities and observations in field notes

Assess the implications of resilient plants in permaculture system

  1. Identify beneficial characteristics of resilient plants for a permaculture system
  2. Determine plant species and population density of resilient plants according to permaculture management plan
  3. Determine plant population levels at which resilient plant would be deemed a weed
  4. Obtain professional advice to support determinations
