Criterion D due Thursday 08 January 2015

You should respond to all four of the following strands:

i. design detailed and relevant testing methods, which generate data, to measure the success of the solution

ii. critically evaluate the success of the solution against the design specification

iii. explain how the solution could be improved

iv. explain the impact of the solution on the client/target audience.

Example of a planning table.  This example is for Product design and would need to be modified for a media product.

Grade Descriptors

Criterion C: Creating the solution

Maximum: 8 

Students create a solution. At the end of year 5, students should be able to:

i. construct a logical plan, which describes the efficient use of time and resources, sufficient for peers to be able to follow to create the solution

ii. demonstrate excellent technical skills when making the solution

iii. follow the plan to create the solution, which functions as intended

iv. fully justify changes made to the chosen design and plan when making the solution

Criterion B is due on 11 November at the start of class (10:30AM).

Some success criteria you might consider including come from the G8 and G9 video specifications list.

(NB: These refer almost entirely to the technical success/quality of a video product and are not sufficient to achieve the 7-8 grade band in G10.)
