Life Skills
description of this task varied on each of the documents in the
component
PoA and PoE.
The pre-moderation checklists for both assessments were
present and contained the various sections as recommended
in the Revised ICASS Guidelines, but the section for analysis
grid/cognitive levels had not been completed.
The tasks covered a limited selection of work and were set at
an extremely low cognitive level.
The allocation of marks for theory questions needed revision.
None of the lecturers had been exposed to a workplace
environment or to any relevant industry, with the result that tasks
were compromised.
