Design and Technology (Product Design)

Assessment

This course is assessed by coursework (non-examined assessment NEA) and written examination and these units are both worth 50% of the student’s final grade. Students receive very regular feedback about their work and are given the opportunity to improve it repeatedly. The non-examined project is based on the students’ own interests; therefore, they can choose to design anything they wish. The examination tests the student’s knowledge of their specialist material area as well as contemporary themes of Design and Technology making it a particularly student-friendly process.
