ary, a comprehensive list of websites to support your studies
Remember that as part of your course, a level of research will still be required but this will assist you to gain a deeper understanding of the application of your studies in a real-world application.
Moodle Forums
We have also provided forums on Moodle to assist you with queries that you might have in relation to your course and assessments.
Understanding assessment terminolgy
Describe: Give a detailed account by recounting, characterising, outline and relating, in sequence, an event, situation, theory or point.
Explain: Clarify or elaborate on the facts. Focus on reasons how and why things happen or a why a particular point is important in the relevant context.
List: Using dot points, list a series of points, steps or stages that relate to the question.
Outline: Leaving out minor details, give an account of thing or a process outlining the main points of a topic.
Review: Provide a summary while analysing and commenting on the evidence, argument or other relevant points.
Summarise: Identify and interpret the most relevant features of a theory, discuss issue or detail, leaving out the finer details.
Develop: Involves the creation of the materials/activities/procedures to achieve the outcome. This is about designing and creating,
Implement: After materials/activities/procedures are developed, test all materials/procedures to determine if they are functional and appropriate for the intended audience.
Evaluate: ensures that the materials/activities/procedures achieve their desired goals and involves a detailed review including any recommendations for change and reasons.
Word counts
The word counts have been provided as a suggested minimum response. In your qualification, a certain level of detail is required. If the word count says 80-100 words, and you provide 20, we will request for further detail.
If you provide 500 words, we will still review this but suggest to minimise the work on yourself. Trainer and assessors do have a tolerance that they apply when reviewing word counts but can request for further detail to be provided.
Plagiarism
While cooperative effort and the sharing of information are encouraged, you must ensure your assignments and assessments are representative of your own effort, knowledge and skills. You must not take the work of others and present it as your own. Plagiarism may result in the assignment/assessment being deemed to be “not yet competent” by the assessor.
Students accused more than once of academic misconduct, including plagiarism, may be dismissed or cancelled from their course at the discretion of the National Training Manager.
Plagiarism can take several forms;
· Quoting from a book or an article without acknowledging the source
· Handing in someone else’s work as your own
· Stealing and passing off another person’s words or ideas and claiming them as your own
· Giving inco
ect information about the source of a quotation or idea
· Downloading information from the internet without acknowledging the source
· Copying a section of a book or article and submitting it as one’s own work
· Presenting as a new and original idea or produce something which was derived from an existing source
Referencing Materials
If you are unfamiliar with how to reference, we recommend that you review http:
www.citethisforme.com/harvard-referencing
Two types of citations are included:
In-text citations are used when directly quoting or paraphrasing a source. They are located in the body of the work and contain a fragment of the full citation.
Depending on the source type, some Harvard Reference in-text citations may look something like this:
"After that I lived like a young rajah in all the capitals of Europe…" (Fitzgerald, 2004).
Reference Lists are located at the end of the work and display full citations for sources used in the assignment.
Here is an example of a full citation for a book found in a Harvard Reference list:
Fitzgerald, F. (2004). The great Gatsby. New York: Scribner.*
National Training prefers that students utilises Harvard Style referencing. Generally, Harvard Reference List citations follow this format:
Books: Last name, First Initial. (Year published). Title. City: Publisher, Page(s).
Journals/publication: Last name, First initial. (Year published). Article title. Journal, Volume (Issue), Page(s).
Websites: Website name, (Year published). Page title. [Online] Available at: URL [Accessed Day Mo. Year].
Understanding your results
The great thing with competency-based training is that you either deemed 'competent' (you can demonstrate the required skills and knowledge) or 'not yet competent' (at this time you haven't been able to demonstrate required skills or knowledge). The key word is "YET”.
Your trainer will provide you with feedback on your assessments so that you know what you have done well in your assessment and what you need to improve upon or fix. An "NYC" result does not mean that you have failed and that is it - you have the opportunity to try again. It could be that one question in your assessment was deemed not yet satisfactory and this is the only question that will require review.
