 Workplace Hours Log.

Evidence Gathering
ACPS might employ a range of assessment techniques including the Co - Assessments techniques with
placement supervisors. During the students work placement tasks and evidence gathering process the
supervisors will observe and authenticate candidates’ evidence but will not make assessment judgments.
In addition to observing a structured assessment task, supervisors report can include comment on the
candidate’s performance in ongoing work tasks. For example, a learner might be asked to write a report.
The trainer can ask more clarification and verification from the supervisor that the learner did complete the
tasks and other detailed information. ACPS will:
• provide suitable checklists and tools that clearly link to the units
• select people who can make informed comment on the performance
of the candidate
• be available to respond to questions about the process

procedures.
Instructions about submission can be found at the beginning of each assessment task.

evidence and may not be able to return them to you.

Assessment Attempts and Resubmissions

You have up to three attempts to complete each assessment tasks satisfactorily. If after the third attempt,
you have not completed a task satisfactorily, your assessor will make alternative arrangements for
assessment, which may involve additional training and time to consolidate your skills and
knowledge. Glossary of Instructional Task Words
Your assessment tasks use a range of instructional words throughout them – such as ‘compare’ and ‘list.
These words will guide you as to the level of detail you must provide in your answers. Some questions will
also tell you how many answers you need to give – for example, ‘Describe three strategies…’. Use the
below glossary to guide you on interpreting the words in the tasks.
 Analyse – This means you should break an issue down into its component parts, discuss them and show
how they relate. You should discuss the issue in detail and methodically.
 Describe – This means you should outline the most noticeable qualities or features of an idea, topic or
the focus of the question.
 Discuss – This means you must point out the important issues or features, key points, possible
interpretations, and debate through argument. You should provide reasons for and against.
 Examine – This means you must look at, or consider, the item or subject carefully and in detail to
discover something about it. You will need to provide a detailed response with key points and features.
You should provide a response with as much detail as possible, but a minimum of one or two
paragraphs in length. Examine is similar to analyse.
 Explain – This means you need to make something clear or show your understanding by describing it or
providing information about it. You will need to make clear how or why something happened or is the
way it is.
 Identify – You must recognise something and indicate who or what the required information is. The
length of the answer should be guided by what you are being asked to identify.
 List – You must record short pieces of information in a list form – with one or two words, or sentences
on each line.
 Outline – You must give a brief description of the main facts or sequence of events about something.
The length of the response should be guided by what you are required to outline. As long as you
include the main facts or points, then that’s enough.
 Summarise – You must express the most important facts or points about something in short and
concise form.
