5. Feedback to student

Feedback on the student’s assessment performance is a vital element of learning. Its purpose is to justify to students how their competency was assessed, as well as to identify and reward specific qualities in their work, to recommend aspects needing improvement, and to guide students on what steps to take.   Feedback defines for students what their trainer/assessor think is important for the student to know with regards to a topic or a subject. At its best, feedback should: •            Be provided for each Assessment Task •            Guide students to adapt and adjust their learning strategies •            Guide trainers/assessors to adapt and adjust their teaching to accommodate the student’s learning needs •            Be a pivotal feature of learning and assessment design, not an add-on ritual •            Focus on course and unit learning outcomes •            Guide students to become independent and self-reflective learners and their own critics •            Acknowledge the developmental nature of learning Feedback should not provide short/one-word comments, such as “Fantastic” or “Great work!”. Feedback needs to be:   •            Constructive – highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of a given piece of work, it should set out ways in which the student can improve the work. •            Timely – should be given while the assessed work is still fresh in a student’s mind before the student moves on to subsequent tasks. •            Meaningful- should target individual needs, be linked to specific assessment criteria, and be received by a student in time to benefit subsequent work. If students have not received proper feedback, they can speak to the Compliance or Administration Department responsible for looking after the quality and compliance services of the Training Organization   For more information, please refer to the Training Organization’s Student Handbook.

3.4: Geotechnical engineer is responsible for approval design and overall project and architecture has authority after completing whole project.it client has any issue in project he meets engineer and architecture for resolve issue. Because work is done under geo technical engineer and architecture and all planning and report is make engineer. Finally, manger has authority of deliver project to client. (Miranda, et al., 2021)

3.5: Project closure is final step manager verifies that client, stake holder or customer find deliverable according to desires means finally client got project is project closure structure is made and client found proper structure is project closure manger review and compare baseline and document that provide client and all deliverable handed off client and celebrate success (Fenton, et al, 2015).

 

 

 

 

Task – 4: Support and review the application of the design of geotechnical works

Tasks: 4.1              Plan for a site visit when geotechnical design is being implemented. Provide clarification and advice to the site personnel regarding your designs as required to meet job requirements. You are to provide recommendations to deal with the situation.   4.2              Review the application of the design and recommend changes for continuous improvement. 4.3              Ensure all work on site is being commenced as per compliance. 4.4              Perform necessary steps to Contribute to the validation of the design

 

4.1: All the design of the project implements on site

Properly investigate the site, soil test, rock test, foundation structure requires and check soil and water contamination all policy apply on site practically.

Check all employee work well and give instruction about product and

Attempt soil sample and check density of soil and apply all work in [perfect way on site. Give advice for achieve stable building target so according to load made foundation shallow foundation for all building and big foundation is called deep foundation (Gong, et al, 2015).

4.2: Experience is requiring for solve geotechnical design problem included high load problem, soil water interaction problem loose soil require settlement for foundation work check soil sample and provide solution about constraint. Apply theoretical model for solve problem and experimental model also perform in site (Basu et al., 2015).

4.3: Geo technical engineer ensured all work is done according to compliance and according to design report and some instruction and investigation provide according to issue for better work. All work is done according to regulation and law (Basu et al., 2015).

4.4: Import step go geo technical model conduct subsurface and surface exploration time to time of stable structure Focus on cost saving policy and work can do best in reasonable cost. Provide assistance by assistance geo technical specialist. Follow geo technical report for achieve target and these reports communicate to earth work and foundation and soil test. All employee safety rule follows and know work properly for stable system. Check ground improvement technique, landslide correction, material site, centerline cut and embankment. Validation is an accuracy that model represent it means all rule is follow to made this project and customer is satisfied for this project (Gong, et al., 2015).
