How you will practise and be assessed.
The planned assessment checks your result, your judgement and your ability to apply what you learned independently.
- 01
Build the promised result
Demonstrate the promised artifact
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWThe test set includes missing and restricted evidence; retrieved instructions cannot authorise actions; citations support answers.
- 02
Test a limit or failure
Handle conflicting evidence inaccessible sources and unknown answers
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWThe documented failure/uncertainty is visible, and no prohibited action or unsupported success claim occurs.
- 03
Apply it independently
Independently explain and change one assumption in a knowledge assistant with retrieval tests and source-linked answers.
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWThe learner predicts and verifies the change; AI output is not accepted without understanding.
