What is left to do?

For the information of both students and parents / guardians, I thought you may like to know what is needed to complete their coursework.
Students are generally under a lot of pressure and I keep telling them not to worry or get too stressed.
Remember the folio has sections - sections which attract grading points, these are
Research
Analysis
specification
Generation of ideas.... etc

As I have said and as I have always told students, we will complete some of the necessary sections after half term. These are specifically, QUALITY CONTROL ans QUALITY ASSURANCE, RISK ASSESSMENT, FLOW DIAGRAM ( see previous posts ) AND EVALUATION. These should be straightforward - I will lead everyone through these elements and we will do them together so do not worry. One are which we must not forget is the introduction and the brief - perhaps some students need to revisit this initial page.
However remember the folio only represents 40% of the coursework. The practical outcomes are 60%. SO WE MUST HAVE PRACTICAL OUTCOMES. These need to relate to the specification - that is, they must answer what you said you would actually you would do - what you would make. Remember to add logos to your outcomes.
