COMMENTS: 10 Models 1=#E developed a range of design concepts and is using techniques such as cardboard modeling to effectively communicate #h ideas. 2=#E developed a range of design concepts and is using a variety of techniques such as cardboard modeling, CAD and 3d printing to effectively communicate #h ideas. 3=#E developed a range of design concepts and is using a variety techniques such as cardboard modeling, CAD and 3d printing to effectively communicate #h ideas. #E found the 3D pen particularly challenging but persevered. 4=#E developed a range of design concepts and was very self-directed in the use of CAD to create and print 3d models to effectively communicate #h ideas. 5=#E seemed to enjoy the process of modeling #h design concepts, was highly self-directed and had pride in #h work. 6=#E took risks by trying new techniques during the process of modeling #h design concepts. #E showed perseverance when facing challenges. COMMENTS: 9 Crit A Work 1=#N’s criterion A summative work is exceptional. #E explains the problem and need for a solution in detail including research evidence. #N conducted relevant primary and secondary research that supported the meaningful conclusions in #h design brief that will effectively guide #h design efforts. 2=#N’s criterion A summative work is of a high standard. #E clearly explains the problem and justifies the need for a solution. #N conducted relevant primary and secondary research that provided evidence for the essential features in #h design brief. 3=#N’s criterion A summative work clearly explains a design problem and justifies the need for a solution. More in-depth primary and/or secondary research to provide evidence for essential features would have made #h design brief even stronger. 4=#N’s criterion A summative work clearly explains a design problem and justifies the need for a solution. Additional primary and/or secondary research to provide evidence for essential features would have made #h design brief even stronger. 5=#N’s criterion A summative work identifies a design problem and explains the need for a solution. However, it lacks the primary and secondary research evidence needed to effectively develop essential features of the solution. 6=#N’s criterion A summative work clearly explains a design problem and justifies the need for a solution. Additional primary and/or secondary research to provide evidence for essential features would have made #h design brief stronger.
