Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Mandatory equipment to bring to Residential School:
Items to purchase: On Wednesday 7 June 2017 at 4:26pm all students (enrolled at that time) for EDVT11022 Textile Technology, and all Home Economics 1st year students, were emailed a list of sewing and textile items that need to be sourced prior to Residential School attendance.

1 Practical Assessment
Rationale for this Assessment:
During the 4 day intensive practical workshop you will construct sewing samples and use various textile techniques to gather and display a physical and virtual portfolio suitable as a teaching and learning resource in classrooms with students from Year 7 to 12. In addition to building your confidence to manipulate textiles and equipment, you will be provided with strategies to teach textiles classes including how to make teacher judgments, provide student feedback, working with difference contexts for learning, selection and sequence of learning activities and teaching strategies. During the Residential School you will be working in a school textile and sewing workroom. A series of practical tasks will to be undertaken over the duration of 4 days, and recorded in your Creative online portfolio (process journal) which will also contribute to Assessment Task 2.
These practical tasks include; however, are not limited to:
Samplers:
- Gathering to an interfaced waist band
- Inserting a zip (no invisible zips)
- Set in sleeve
- Neckline facing (including iron on interfacing)
- Self-trim for neckline
- Hems
- Darts
- Pockets
- Buttons
- Practical stitches and seams
Felting
Creating textile mediums – being sustainable
Mixed media surface design
Graffiti
Tie Dye
Simple garment construction using a block pattern
Bag construction
Embellishments
You will be supported in development of each element by your tutor at Residential School.Friday 7 July 4pm: progressively assessed over the duration of the four day intensive Residential School
Week 2 Friday (21 July 2017)

2 Practical and Written Assessment
Rational for this Assessment:
The design process and using ICTs in the classroom are integral components of contemporary Home Economics and Textile Technology. The purpose of this assessment is to develop online educational resources that include a creative process journal to capture and display the design process in action. This assessment is designed to support and build educator confidence to interpret and implement the Australian Curriculum and use a variety of ICTs including online tools to construct creative, innovative and fun Textile Technology teaching and learning resources. Weekly activities on the unit Moodle site all contribute to the development of Assessment Task 2. This assessment task will become a vital resource for your future Home Economics and textiles teaching practices.
Assessment Task 2 has three parts:
Part 1: Create a substantial educational online textiles website that addresses specific headings, topics and activities explored in weekly Moodle content; and
Part 2: Write a textiles design brief suitable for the Australian Curriculum; and
Part 3: Develop and construct your solution to the design brief, and create an online creative portfolio (process journal) to accompany your design brief solution.
Clarification and development of Assessment Task 2 will be scaffolded and supported by your tutor, participation in weekly Moodle activities, independent research, and independent practical tasks.
Research and Referencing
There is no set word limit for this assignment task; however, your educational online textiles resource and online creative portfolio should demonstrate evidence of research, including the collection and sorting of data. You must apply APA style referencing conventions including reference lists, and in-text referencing in your web-spaces. Guidance on how to apply APA referencing is available on the Moodle site.
Review/Exam Week Monday (9 Oct 2017) 9:00 am AEST

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
