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 http://www.citethisforme.com/harvard-referencing. 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 Outcomeslocated on the reverse of the first page Cover sheet of this Student Assessment Booklet.
Assessors Note -theOverall 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).

competency criteria and demonstrated the required skills and knowledge.

NYC | Not Yet Competent | You havenot 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.
|
S | Satisfactory | 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 requiredto 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.

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.

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. Howeverthey 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. Social media is not currently used to market the business. The new business plan will need to reflect different ways of marketing, especially to attract commercial customers. At a recent meeting of the management team (Directors, Operations and Administration Managers), it was decided that a 3-year business plan is needed to ensure the company meets its business goals. This will include diversifying into commercial cleaning, and offering environmentally friendly cleaning. Down the track, the company is also considering offering carpet cleaning services. The Operations Manager has been given the responsibility of developing the business plan. The company’s mission, vision, values and objectives as follows: Mission Ozhouse Clean is committed to providing the highest quality residential and commercial cleaning services available by exceeding the expectations of our clients. Vision We are constantly working to establish ourselves as the most respected and sought-after contract cleaning and facilities support service in Melbourne. Values · Respect: taking time to understand and value each person and respecting their choices. · Responsibility: acting with integrity towards our staff, our customers, the community and the environment. · Caring: a duty of care for our staff, customers and the environment. · Excellence: to always look to provide the best quality experience in regard to our cleaning and our customer service. · Integrity: to act with honesty, openness and do what we say we will do. · Innovation: to be industry leaders.

Assessment Task 3 –PROJECT: BUSINESS PERFORMANCE MONITORING |
Case Study Part 2: Background Information
It has been one (1) year since the business plan was implemented and as the Operations Manager, you are reviewing the performance of the business against the performance indicators identified in the plan, testing performance indicators used and recommending changes to performance indicators as provided. You have also been asked to provide an overall evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the business plan. (This is the Business Plan you developed for Assessment Task 2).
Assume that the performance indicators identified in the business plan are as follows: · A 20% increase in total sales revenue. · A gross profit margin of 20%. · Reduction of 50% in debtor days · 10 new commercial customers in the first year of the business plan. · Reduction of 10% of workforce turnover based on employing two full-time permanent cleaners, as well as increasing wages to above award. · Social media engagement to have 500 followers · 50% of cleaning products used to be eco-friendly · Implementation of Code of Practice, to be adopted by all staff · 97% customer satisfaction and quality of service · Introduction to triple bottom-line reporting
Data provided by the accountant for this financial year show the following figures: – Total sales revenue – $450,000 – Total cost of sales – $320,000 – Debtor days – 30 – 15 new commercial customers
The Administration Manager has advised you that at least 10 of the previous residential customers no longer use the company’s services, so while sales revenue has increased, the sales revenue attributable to residential sales has declined.
In addition, follow up emails to the customers who no longer used the services indicated the following responses to the question asked about why they no longer use the services: o Moved interstate – 1 o Dissatisfied with the quality of cleaning services provided o (not enough attention to detail, cleaner finishing earlier than time paid for) – 5 o Moved to a competitor as better service and price offered – 4
Regarding staff, two of the current contract cleaners have been appointed as fulltime, permanent employees. Wages have been increased to above award for all contract cleaners. Of the 15 contract cleaners contracted at the start of the year, 4 have left and were not needed to be replaced due to the two (2) F-T staff appointed.
Ozhouse clean has started a Facebook page, which currently has 820 followers. Alternative eco-friendly products have not been source at an affordable price point. Further investigation need to be conducted in this area. To date only the surface spray has been adopted, equalling 15% of total products used. Code of Practice was implemented and has been adopted by all staff. Triple bottom line reporting was not formally being adopted in reports, however the required data on: Finance, Staff & Sustainability practices is being collected. |
