How do I decide Unit; Criterion C: Creating Solution

Follow the checklist below as you work on the creation of your solution

• The Plan:
• I have constructed a logical plan (a step-by-step procedure) for the creation of the solution.  (sufficient for peers to be able to follow)
• I have stated the resources that will be needed.
• I have completed a timeline / Gantt chart
• The Creation Process:
  • I have demonstrated excellent technical skills when making the solution.
  • I have fully justified changes made to the chosen design and plan when making the solution.
• Process Journal: 

                        I have maintained a process journal through the entire creation process.

• I have explained the tools and techniques used in the process of creation.
• I have included evidence in the creation phase that I have followed my time plan.
• I have reflected any changes I made to my plan during the creation phase.
• I have included screen shots and other photographic evidences of the key phases of creation.
• I have kept notes in my process journal about how well I worked, problems encountered, and use of time - to be used in the evaluation.
• The Final Project: I have presented the solution as a whole, either in electronic form, or through photographs of the solution from different angles, showing details.
• Evaluate: I have evaluated and reflected on my performance in the this stage.
• Challenges and successes
• Areas of concerns
• The strengths and weaknesses.
• Observations on how this stage could have been improved.
• General reflections

resources, sufficient for peers to be able to follow to create the solution. 

pages 1- 2

By the end of year 4 you should be able to:

• construct a series of logical steps to create the solution, using charts, diagrams and text that include aspects of quality control and quality assurance
• construct a plan to create the solution that makes effective use of resources and time
• construct a clear and concise plan that peers will be able to follow to create the solution

(ii) Demonstrate excellent technical skill when making the solution

At the end of year 4 you should be able to:

• develop manipulative skills to effectively use a wide range of tools, techniques and equipment
• use a wide range of tools and equipment proficiently to create high-quality solutions
• ensure a safe working environment for themselves and others

(iii) Follow the plan to create the solution, which functions as intended

By the end of year 4 you should be able to:

• independently follow the plan to produce the solution, which functions as intended
• manage time effectively to produce the solution to the deadline stated in the plan

 ( strand 2 and 3. At-least 6 Pages)

(iv) Fully justify changes made to the chosen design and plan when making the solution

By the end of year 4 you should be able to: Pages 2 or 3 pages

• justify, through the use of drawings/diagrams, any changes made to the design while making the solution and how they affected the plan
