BSBSUS401 Implement and monitor environmentally sustainable work practices| Assessment 1 1 | ANIBT Assessment Tool Version 1.2 Date: August 2022 TADM Instructions to Learner Assessment Task 1 The assessment questions/tasks in this workbook assess aspects of all the elements, performance criteria, skills and knowledge and performance requirements of the unit of competency. To demonstrate competence in this unit, you must undertake all activities in this workbook and have them deemed satisfactory by the assessor. If you do not answer some questions or perform certain tasks, and therefore you are deemed to be Not Yet Competent, your trainer/assessor may ask you supplementary questions to determine your competence. Once you have demonstrated the required level of performance, you will be deemed competent in this unit. Should you still be deemed Not Yet Competent, you will have the opportunity to resubmit your assessments or appeal the result. As part of the assessment process, all learners must abide by any relevant assessment policies as provided during induction. If you feel you are not yet ready to be assessed or that this assessment is unfair, please contact your assessor to discuss your options. You have the right to formally appeal any outcome and, if you wish to do so, discuss this with your trainer/assessor. Overview Prior to commencing the assessments, your trainer/assessor will explain each assessment task and the terms and conditions relating to the submission of your assessment task. Please consult with your trainer/assessor if you are unsure of any questions. It is important that you understand and adhere to the terms and conditions, and address fully each assessment task. If any assessment task is not fully addressed, then your assessment task will be returned to you for resubmission. Your trainer/assessor will remain available to support you throughout the assessment process. Assessment tasks Assessment tasks are used to measure your understanding and underpinning skills and knowledge of the overall unit of competency. When undertaking any assessment tasks, please ensure that you address the following criteria:  Address each question including any sub-points  Demonstrate that you have researched the topic thoroughly  Cover the topic in a logical, structured manner  Your assessment tasks are well presented, well referenced and word processed Plagiarism Plagiarism is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your own. Plagiarism is a serious act and may result in a learner’s exclusion from a course. When you have any doubts about including the work of other authors in your assessment, please consult

BSBSUS401 Implement and monitor environmentally sustainable work practices| Assessment 1 2 | ANIBT Assessment Tool Version 1.2 Date: August 2022 TADM your trainer/assessor. The following list outlines some of the activities for which a learner can be accused of plagiarism:  Presenting any work by another individual as one's own unintentionally  Handing in assessments markedly similar to or copied from another learner  Presenting the work of another individual or group as their own work  Handing in assessments without the adequate acknowledgement of sources used, including assessments taken totally or in part from the internet. If it is identified that you have plagiarised within your assessment, then a meeting will be organised to discuss this with you, and further action may be taken accordingly. Collusion Collusion is the presentation by a learner of an assignment as their own that is, in fact, the result in whole or in part of unauthorised collaboration with another person or persons. Collusion involves the cooperation of two or more learners in plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct and, as such, both parties are subject to disciplinary action. Collusion or copying from other learners is not permitted and will result in a NYC. Assessments must be typed using document software such as (or like) MS Office or Adobe. Handwritten assessments will not be accepted (unless, prior written confirmation is provided by the trainer/assessor to confirm). Competency outcome There are two outcomes of assessments: S = Satisfactory and NYS = Not Yet Satisfactory (requires more training and experience). Once the learner has satisfactorily completed all the tasks for this module the learner will be awarded “Competent” (C) or “Not yet Competent” (NYC) for the relevant unit of competency. If you are deemed “Not Yet Competent” you will be provided with feedback from your assessor and will be given another chance to resubmit your assessment task(s). If you are still deemed as “Not Yet Competent” you will be required to re-enrol in the unit of competency. Assessment appeals process If you feel that you have been unfairly treated during your assessment, and you are not happy with your assessment and/or the outcome as a result of that treatment, you have the right to lodge an appeal. You must first discuss the issue with your trainer/assessor. If you would like to proceed further with the request after discussions with your trainer/assessor, you need to lodge your appeal to the course coordinator, in writing, outlining the reason(s) for the appeal. Special needs Candidates with special needs should notify their trainer/assessor to request any required adjustments as soon as possible. This will enable the trainer/assessor to address the identified needs immediately .
