1. A2 Coursework - Making EdExcel

2. Coursework overview Problem / brief Research Analyse research [4] Specification [6] Ideas [14] Development [16] Final design Planning [6] Making log Making photos [34] Testing & evaluating [10] Total = 90

3. Key points All pages must have a 10mm border All pages must have your name, the title of the sheet and a page number in the bottom right corner Maximum of 30 pages Access to the user is important Justify everything

4. Planning Gantt Chart Materials, Tools, equipment and processes (for commercial production) – include quality and safety checks (Materials and processes – justify each choice) Making Log

5. Gantt Chart – 1 page Group activities / tasks Use hours / minutes as a time scale – ½ hours? 15-25 hours is likely NOT retrospective Mention specific parts (part names from working drawings)

8. Example

9. Materials, Tools, Equipment and Processes 1 or 2 pages (probably 2) Justify each choice For commercial production (including showing order of work) Include quality checks (and what you will do to test it / check it) Include safety checks Each stage in detail (use the stages from the Gantt Chart and put into much more detail)

11. Example

12. Making log -2 pages Photo of each stage (you can have more than 1 photo per stage) Show off safety through writing and photos (like at AS) Quality checks Technical knowledge and detail – tools and equipment Showing range of skills At EVERY stage: Explain the skills used Safety Justify material / process

13. Example

14. 1-2 Pages – Making Photos of your final product Show off every part of your product It only gets marked from the photos Clear, in focus, zoomed in 16 photos maximum 1 photo must show everything together
