    This document provides the assessment details for a geology and soil mechanics practical assessment. It outlines the mark breakdown for different parts of the assessment related to standards SANS 3001-GR1, GR2, GR10, and GR30. These involve tests like sieve analysis, Atterberg limits, linear shrinkage, and maximum dry density determination. Students are marked on correctly completing coversheets, test objectives, explanations of test necessity, identifying impacting factors, showing calculations and results, and referencing. Deadlines for different student groups are provided between May 18-22, 2023. Examples of a liquid limit graph and maximum dry density graph are also included.
