• analyse the plan and explain the need for any modifications to the design.

• evaluate the plan and justify any modifications to the design.

Assessment

Students are expected to construct a plan to create their chosen product/solution that has a series of logical steps, and that makes effective use of resources and time.
Students are expected to evaluate the plan and justify any modifications to the design.

When you plan your work you will:

  • review plans and proposals critically
Some questions you may want to ask: (Note you will not need to ask all theses questions for each project).
  • What are your priorities/list of steps?Give a time plan.
  • Have you considered all things before moving on to the Creation phase?
At the end of the course, you should be able to:
  • judge, test and choose resources ( are they reliable, consistent, current, safe?)
  • identify priorities ( function, new processes and learning, safety, appearance )
  • calculate and predict outcomes ( how will it work, sizes, costs, consequences )
  • create and communicate a logical sequence of work ( which task first, expected times, checklists )
  • plan the use of time and resources.( weekly schedule, homework tasks, evaluation )
investigate create
