Understanding assessment terminology

Describe: Give a detailed account by recounting, characterising, outline and relating, in sequence, an event, situation, theory or point.

Discuss/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.

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.

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 Clinton Institute Director of Studies.

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 incorrect 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 something as a new and original idea or producing something which was derived from an existing source.

Referencing Materials 

If you are unfamiliar with how to reference, we recommend that you review . 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.*
  • It is preferred that students utilise 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 are 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 (NS) and this is the only question that will require review.

Assessment outcomes

Each assessment task will be given an outcome of either Satisfactory (S) or Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS). You must complete all tasks satisfactorily to achieve an overall outcome of Competent (C) for a unit. If one or more of tasks are assessed as not yet satisfactory, you will be given an overall outcome for the unit of Not Yet Competent (NYC). 

You will be allowed up to two (2) reassessments attempts to complete each task and achieve a satisfactory outcome. You will be given a timeframe for resubmission and advised what you must include in the resubmission.

There is an Assessment Task # – Outcome Record incorporated within an Assessment Cover Sheet at the beginning of each discreet assessment activity. Assessors will complete the Outcome Record section for each assessment activity. The summary of the outcomes will be transferred to the Overall Unit – Record of Assessment Outcomes located on the reverse of the first page Cover sheet of this Student Assessment Booklet. 

Assessors Note -the Overall Unit – Record of Assessment Outcomes will become the first page of the submitted work when completed (by reversing the first page Cover sheet of this Student Assessment Booklet).

Results legend

CCompetentYou have successfully completed unit and met the minimumcompetency criteria and demonstrated the required skills and knowledge. 
NYCNot Yet CompetentYou have not met minimum competency criteria for the unit. Certain section/s require review due to not meeting the requirements and, therefore, your work is deemed not yet competent. Note: If you have had an initial assessment, a first reassessment and then a final reassessment, you will no longer have an opportunity to resubmit.  You will receive a “NYC” and have to re-enrol in the unit. 
SSatisfactory Individual assessment/question is satisfactory.
NYS Not Satisfactory Individual assessment/question is not a satisfactory result for a specific assessment activity.

Assessment attempts and resubmissions

You will have up to three (3) attempts to achieve a satisfactory outcome for each assessment. If after three (3) attempts you cannot achieve a satisfactory result for any assessment activity, the overall outcome with be Not Yet Competent (NYC) for the unit.   

Resubmission 

You will be given the opportunity to resubmit a Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS) assessment task up to two (2) times. Following the assessment outcome, you will be given appropriate feedback on previous attempt. This will enable you to have a total of three (3) attempts. 

Timeframe 

You will be provided with an appropriate timeframe by your trainer to resubmit your work. For example, you may be given 14 days to resubmit incorrect responses to written tasks or projects. Should you be required to complete a roleplay or presentation, your assessor will make an appointment time, which suits both of you. 

Records

The Assessment Task Cover Sheet at the start of each assessment activity, includes a space to record the details of any reattempts and resubmissions. Assessors must ensure that this is comprehensively detailed so that anybody reviewing the assessment record can tell exactly what occurred, when it occurred, how it occurred, who was involved and where any further evidence is located. Assessors must also make reference to ensuring that any reattempt or resubmission has been assessed in accordance with the model responses and performance descriptors included in the Assessor’s Marking Guide.

Assessment task cover sheet

At the beginning of each individual assessment task, you will find an Assessment Task Cover Sheet. Please fill out your student  details  on each cover Sheet and make sure you sign the student declaration. 

Your assessor will complete the Outcome Record section and give you feedback about how well you went in each task. This will be written on the Assessment Task Cover Sheet.

Assessment appeals

You have the right to appeal an assessment decision. To make an appeal about an assessment decision, you must follow the process outlined in the Student Handbook.

Note that the Overall Unit – Record of Assessment Outcomes contains a section which says “Does the student wish to appeal the result?     □ YES   □ NO”  

Assessors must ensure that the appropriate box is ticked, after conferring with the student if necessary.

Assessment Task 2 – Case Study & Roleplay: Develop a business plan 

Instructions To Student

Review the background information and two (2) handouts, then complete the activities that follow. 

  1. Handout – Business Plan Template 
  2. Handout  – Cleaning services award (hyperlink)
Case Study Background Information Ozhouse Clean is based in Melbourne and offers professional, residential cleaning services, including regular home cleans, as well as spring cleans. The company is a family business established in 2005 by James and Nancy Anderson. James and Nancy are the Directors of the company. Their daughter, Sarah is employed by the company in the role of Administration Manager; and you have been employed in the role of Operations Manager.The company sees its point of difference from competitors as being a small family business with a focus on quality and happy and content staff and customers. The management team understands this point of difference may need to change as the business grows. There may be a need for more management staff to be employed, e.g., while Sarah manages marketing, she is not skilled in marketing and is very busy with the administration of the business. A skilled marketing officer may be needed. Currently target customers are located in the greater Melbourne area. Target customers are people who want a professional, trustworthy and immaculate cleaning service. Pricing reflects that of competitors. The company employs 15 cleaners, all of whom are part-time contract staff working between 10 – 15 hours a week. The company currently has approximately 70 regular clients, based around Melbourne’s inner city. These clients require regular home cleaning, either weekly or fortnightly for hours ranging from 3 – 6 hours. A standard hourly rate of $40 per hour is charged. Staff receive an hourly rate of $25 per hour with the cost of the products provided to staff for cleaning, including equipment and ongoing supplies, works out to be approximately $2 per hour on top. The company is also considering whether it may be wiser to move to employing a number of full-time, permanent cleaning staff. This is partly because there is a high turnover of casual staff and little loyalty to the company. Staff costs for employing full-time cleaners are $55,000 per cleaner per year including all superannuation payments. All cleaning supplies are currently purchased from Total Cleaning Supplies in Melbourne. However they do not currently offer environmentally friendly products, so a new supplier needs to be found . It is estimated that purchase of these products will be an additional $10,000 per month. The products cost double the cost of the non-environmentally friendly products. Sales revenue for the company for the last financial year is $360,000.00 with a gross profit margin of $40,000.00. Labour costs are a significant part of the business representing 70% of total costs. Average debtor days are currently 40 days. Currently, marketing is via a website but a large proportion of the company’s work comes through word-of-mouth from existing customers.

SWOT Analysis

Strength 

The number of recent janitorial services has their sights fixed just on the home economy, owing to the absence of faith and belief in their ability to keep up with large commercial competitors. In our firm, this will not be the case. We will be one of the few beginning businesses inside the city of Chicago that will commit all of its money, manpower, and marketing tactics to climbing industry housekeeping company’s pyramid and fast gaining market share. Because we would not be contending with a great amount of beginning in the commercial sector, your progress or advancement into major leagues of business will not be impeded by too many competing hurdles or obstacles. Our key advantage.

Weakness

Our main competitive disadvantage derives from our experience as just a beginning. Even if we gather the finest cleaning company inside the nation, we will also not be allowed to register contracts with many users at the same time. As a consequence, our unavailability may endanger our revenue and money – making. As per company policy, companies have such a fixed number of employees who would not be pushed excessively. 

Opportunities

In the housekeeping sector, there seems to be a lot of potential for success. House cleaners are likely to increase in need as the number of commercial facilities and private houses grows. Ozhouse Clean is now in terms of promoting environmentally friendly business. It’s become a need for companies in Melbourne to increase sanitary standards in their operations, prompting the engagement of janitorial companies.  As a consequence, Ozhouse Clean provides us all with huge global expansion, what we intend to grasp with most of your knowledge and interest. Ozhouse Cleaning may not be the largest in the country, and it is one in which a newcomer such as us will have plenty of opportunity to make rapid expansion as much as we have the funds.

Threats

Researchers must not anticipate any major reaction to our potential competition after your arrival into the sector as a little cleaning service that’ll be adopting small steps towards progress and expansion for at least the near future. We believe that your arrival into the market would be low-key, but some of the larger companies who dominated the market housekeeping hospitality industry will have to go unreported. But for one, do not anticipate that most of the smaller cleaning service sector, that had been in the market for much longer than all of us, will respond badly to the beginning of my operation. But, if they create ways to extract us even further away from the market, we have created our own contingencies.

Conclusion

The firm has well-established items  solutions that are sold via well channels. Funding is required to fund the advertising campaigns outlined previously in order for a firm to meet its sales expectations. There seem to be a lot of beneficial characteristics of the company’s situation that are not evident in the commercial division’s evaluation. A most decisive element in just this aspect is the firm’s attraction to other companies as just a supplier of accessibility.
