Criterion B - Design Assessment Guild (Official)

October 9, 10

Year 11 - Now it's on to Design (Criterion B)

Students are expected to generate several feasible designs that meet the design specification and to evaluate these against the design specification.

Students are then expected to select one design, justify their choice and evaluate this in detail against the design specification.

I would "design" an e-portfolio using three different tools, screen shot the page, save it as a jpeg, insert it into your document and evaluate each against the design specification.

Next, I would choose one of the tools and JUSTIFY my choice and evaluate it fully and critically aginst the design specification.

Design and Plan Due October 24

October 2, 3

Continue working on the research part of your project.

Projects are due October 3 at the end of the period.
