It has been designed to jump you through the stages and if you meet Deadlines appropriately you will be able to keep on track, get feedback, act on it accordingly and do extremely well in this area. It’s over to **you ** !!!!! Also, this is your project, so get into something worthwhile,work hard because it’s **your idea **. It’s a journey; you are actually getting assessed on your approaches.   All the time you should be reflecting; evaluations aren’t just a finished thing. At the start you should chose an Expert / Client – they too can provide you with feedback at various stages e.g Reflections on Design Choice.   Of course you’ll need to track yourself against deadlines. Some might actually get ahead; that’s fine. But don’t drift and expect to be nursed along – your work will be sporadic and superficial. Think of this like a rough diary; continuously recording Your THINKING. Some ideas might include: <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> • design ideas <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> • sketches <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> • evaluations <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> • notes on meetings and information found <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> • details of decisions taken during the project. <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> The entries should be in date order and therefore may not necessarily be in a logical sequence for the design cycle. The log book provides a record on which to base the project summary report. It gives teachers and moderators a “feel” for the continual and sometimes uneven development of the project as the student goes through the design cycle <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> Each candidate must submit a project report which identifies the key stages of the project development. The report may contain information in the form of text, diagrams, photographs etc, and should explain the process followed and decisions taken. The project summary report should be compiled in conjunction with the log book while the design project develops, and then be reviewed and finalized at the end of the project. It may refer to pages in the log book to avoid unnecessary duplication. <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> <span style="font-family: TimesNewRoman; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> Please make sure that **all** work is in class on the days you will be working on the Design Project which your teacher will inform you of. Your teacher may ask to see all of your work at any stage in these lessons to give you assistance or see your progress. ** Back up your work! **     You should have all of your documents saved both on your Desktop/ Laptop and on your individual college directory. A USB device is only transportation device. Several students have lost work in the last couple of years just before final submission and have had to start again. I am not responsible for your work being sent in electronically; it is your responsibility to get work into the folder which we’ll keep at school

 * Things to Note: **
 * The Tasks / Dates, which seemingly may seem a huge mountain to climb, follows the Design Cycle. If you go about this Project in the right positive //frame of mind// (Why Not! – it is YOU after all who are free to comes up with the Problem ideas to solve in the first instance (i.e it is not me prescribing) then the Project from start to finish is YOURS. You should find it therefore motivating. My job shouldn’t be to chase, or to spoon feed, but instead to clarify, guide and provide feedback. Those who are wise, will seek feedback to check they are on the right track and modify accordingly. **
