Explanation of the common command words used in the Assessment Task The assessment tasks use a range of instructional words throughout them – such as ‘compare’ and ‘list’. These words will guide the student and yourself as to the level of detail that must be provided in their answers. Some questions will also tell you how many answers the students need to give – for example, ‘Describe three strategies…’. Use the below glossary to guide you on interpreting the words in the tasks:  List - You must record short pieces of information in a numbered or bulleted form with one or two words or sentences on each line.  Outline = provide the main facts about something, more than naming, but not a detailed description. You must give a brief description of the main facts or sequence of events about something. The length of the response should be guided by what you are required to outline. As long as you include the main facts or points, then that’s enough.  Describe = Provide full details of characteristics and/or features, more needed than an outline or than a list. This means you should outline the most noticeable qualities or features of an idea, topic or the focus of the question  Explain - This means you need to make something clear or show your understanding by describing it or providing information about it. You will need to make clear how or why something happened, or something is the way it is.  Discuss = Provide a reasonable argument to discuss cause and effect Page 2 of 8 HLTINF006 Apply basic principles and practices of infection prevention and control Student Assessment HLTINF006 Apply basic principles and practices of infection prevention and control Student Assessment - Version 1.0 May 2023 CRICOS Provider Code 02934D RTO Number 121952 Student Details ☐ I have read and understand unit information and assessment instruction Student ID Click here to enter text.
