  • Non-Examination Assessment
  • Designing and Making Principles - Theory
  • Non-Examination Assessment
  • AQA Designing and Making Principles - Theory
  • Revision and Exam Preparation
  • The Non-Examination Assessment is also known as the coursework project. It is the application of Technical principles and Designing and making principles
  • It consists of a Portfolio of design and research, analysis, development, and evaluation alongside a final 3D prototype
  • Students are expected to work independently to produce 40 A3 pages for their folder, and the project should take around 50 hours. It is marked out of 100 marks, and it is 50% of the final A Level grade
  • Students will be required to choose their own context and they must ensure that it is of an appropriate level of complexity with a certain degree of uncertainty of the outcome so that students can engage in an iterative process of designing, making, testing and evaluating
  • The work is assessed internally at the end of the project and moderated by AQA.
  • Student will complete a number of theory-based activities including note taking, extended research, case studies, and practice examination questions on Designing and Making Principles
  • The topics include iterative design processes in industry, design influences, design styles and movements, designers and their work, socio-economic factors, major developments in technology, social and moral issues, product lifecycles, and responsible design
  • Assessment takes place throughout in the form of examination style questions and through discussion
