Assessment Information
Welcome to your Student Assessment Workbook for BSBCRT401 Articulate, Present and Debate Ideas.
This Workbook is where you will write all your responses for the knowledge questions and simulation tasks. Please
refer to the Student Assessment Guide for more information.
This assessment has the following two events:

Assessment Event 1 – Knowledge Questions

There are five questions that will provide us with evidence of your general knowledge of key principles and
techniques associated with planning and articulating ideas.

This assessment is completed in your own time and by a submission date provided by your Assessor. You may use
support material in the development of your responses, but you must indicate the source. In addition, you must
not ‘cut and paste’ content from your source, rather, use your words, unless it is a direct quote.
Assessment Event 2 – Simulation: Go Green
You will complete a number of tasks that will provide us with evidence of your skills with planning then debating
ideas to influence commitment to the Go Green initiative. These tasks will be based on your role of Project Officer
in a simulation with your RTO.
Please note that your responses for both assessment events can (where appropriate) use dot point format. See
below an example of a dot point response and a full sentence response.
Dot point format Presentation Plan includes the following:
 outcomes
 needs of the audience
 context.
Full sentence format When you are preparing for a presentation, there are a number of tasks that must be
carried out. These are listing the outcomes that you want to achieve, followed by the
identification of the needs of your audience. When you have completed these two tasks
you then check on the room that you will be conducting the presentation in.
