Task summary and instructions

 use the scenario provided,

 use the templates provided where required,
 for your performance to be deemed satisfactory in this
assessment task you must satisfactorily address all of the
assessment criteria,
 if part of this task is not satisfactorily completed you will be
asked to complete further assessment to demonstrate
satisfactory performance.

How to avoid You must acknowledge your sources by citing them and
plagiarism listing them in a reference list; use quotes when directly
quoting; paraphrase (using different words, grammar, word
order); summarise.
• quote (use the writer’s actual words); this requires the least
input from you. Use the exact words the author used, put
them in “ “ marks, give the reference information including
page number.
• paraphrase (rewrite the writer’s ideas in your own words);
this requires more skill and requires you to use synonyms
and change the sentence structure. Keep the same meaning,
change the word order and most of the words, give
reference details.
• summarise (rewrite the writer’s ideas in your own words in
a shorter form); this is similar to paraphrasing. Give the
author’s main ideas, make it clear which ideas are the
author’s and which are your own, give reference
information.

Provide a reference list: this is an alphabetic list of sources

and includes authors' names, dates, page numbers and/or URLs.

• Analyse – when a question asks you to analyse something,
you should identify and examine the relevant aspects and
key features and how they interact in order to explain or
interpret it. You need to show that you have understood the
theoretical aspects of the course and are expected to write
several paragraphs that give detail on the individual aspects
of the topic of the question as well as on the bigger picture.

• Compare – when a question asks you to compare

something, you will need to show how two or more things
are similar as well as how they are different. You should
ensure that you cover the various features or key aspects as
well as indicating what the consequences of these
similarities or differences are in application. You will need to

will likely need to provide practical, real-world examples.

• Discuss – when a question asks you to discuss something,

you are required to point out important issues or features
and express some form of critical judgement. You are
expected to write several paragraphs that show a solid depth
of understanding of the topic, how this might be experienced
in real life work situations, and logically support your
judgements.

• Describe – when a question asks you to describe

something, you should state the most noticeable qualities or
features. However, at the advanced diploma level, you need
to show understanding of more nuanced qualities, and
features as well and when, how and why these might be
important. Generally, your answers will be several
paragraphs long.

• Evaluate – when a question asks you to evaluate

something, you need to explain the value of it in relevant
contexts or assess it putting forward arguments for and
against it in terms of how it might be positive or negative in
certain relevant contexts. You’ll need to write several
paragraphs, ensuring that you support your arguments with
logical reasoning and practical examples.

• Examine – this is a combination of “analyse”, where you

should provide a detailed response with key points and
features and provide critical analysis, and “describe”, where
you show awareness of the features and/or qualities of the
topic. It is generally used where the matter being examined
is less clear and contained than one that would be analysed
while it is also more complex than one that would be
described.

• Explain – when a question asks you to explain something,

you should make clear how or why something happened or
the way it is. At the advanced diploma level, you need to
show you have specialised and integrated technical and
theoretical knowledge so you will need to ensure your
answers are several paragraphs long and logically
structured.

• Identify – when a question asks you to identify something,

you need to ensure you use the correct terminology.

Task summary and instructions

Generally, you are expected to give practical, real-world

examples and write a response two or three sentences long.

• List – when a question asks you to list something, you need

to ensure you use the correct terminology and ensure your
list matches the number required by the question. If no
number is set then you are generally required to list all the
items in the group. You answer can be in point form.

• Outline – when a question asks you to outline something,

you need to give a high-level overview or summary, giving
only the main points. Depending on the complexity of the
matter and the specific question, you might be expected to
write in point form, to write several sentences, or several
paragraphs.

• Summarise – this can be similar to “outline” and require

just the main points. However, generally you will need to
write in prose – not in bullet points – and, depending on the
complexity of what you are summarising, it may take several
paragraphs. At advanced diploma level, you should ensure
you give enough depth to demonstrate depth of
understanding of the matter you are summarising.

BSBSUS511 Assessment Task 2
Assume that the sustainability policy and procedure you developed has
been implemented, as well as findings from regular sustainability
inspections. Sustainability initiatives implemented include:

 Energy audit and all recommendations implemented including signage

about energy use (e.g. switch off lights at night, turn down brightness,
turn off taps)

 Recycling policy introduced, and three more recycling bins introduced.

 Green purchasing policy developed (on staff intranet, email sent to

staff to advise).

 Green transport policy developed and implemented (on staff intranet,

email sent to staff to advise).
Assume also the following sustainability targets:

 Reduce electricity consumption by 20% within six months.

 Promote awareness of sustainability initiatives amongst all staff

members
A staff survey has been undertaken (see the Simulation Pack for results), as
well as an energy audit.
The results of the energy audit are as follows:
Actions implemented:

 replace halogen downlights with energy efficient downlights and

transformers

 connect to natural gas, converting to an energy source with one-third

of the greenhouse gas emissions of electricity from coal

 replace electric storage hot water heater with instant solar hot water

 replace air conditioner with a more efficient inverter unit.

Prior to energy audit:

 Annual energy bill: $2,415 a year

 Annual greenhouse emissions: 18 tonnes a year

Six months later:

 Annual energy bill: $1,800 a year

 Annual greenhouse emissions: 10.2 tonnes a year

One year later:


