Assessment

There are two projects or components in each course, a coursework project and an externally set assignment (exam unit). Each project of work is assessed in the same way, against the same criteria which has four assessment objectives. At AS the externally set component is weighted 100% of the marks and at A Level it is 60% coursework and 40% exam. 20% of the coursework mark at A level will be attributed to the essay. The criteria require you to develop ideas using the inspiration of the work of others (AO1); explore, experiment and refine different ways of working and materials to help you with your development (A02); record your observations, ideas and experiences which are relevant to the intentions of your work (A03); and produce a meaningful outcome or set of outcomes which reflect the rest of your investigation work (A04)
