Course Introduction:
The course is ideal for students who are good at problem solving and have a keen interest in design. As part of the course students will work towards a range of different design briefs, some of which will be given and some of which will be self guided. Students will then undertake a major coursework project of their choosing.
Product Design will provide students with a range of different skills including:-
· How to investigate facts and use deduction.
· How to put over your point of view fluently.
· Creativity, presentation and communication.
· How to work as a team to achieve results.
· How to take responsibility for your own learning.
Assessment:
The final course grade is made up of the following:
- NEA Coursework – 50% – a coursework project and final product with a focus chosen by students.
- Examination x 2 – 50% – these exams test your understanding of materials, how to work with them as well as wider design related issues. They are taken in the summer of Y13.
