Assessment
The exam is similar in structure to the GCSE with some short questions testing your knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes but there is also an emphasis on longer essay-style questions on topics such as ergonomic design and product sustainability. Two lessons per week will be dedicated to subject theory preparation for the exam at the end of the academic year. Lessons will include discussions relating to design principles, short fashion drawing and modelling activities, essay-style written pieces and coursework development. You should approach this subject with an expectation to share your ideas and in doing so be prepared to be challenged on your knowledge and understanding of products and how they are designed.
