Relevant Departmental 6otes: Assessment throughout this course is essentially formative; designers can re-visit criteria to arrive at their final assessment grades. Your personal blog is regarded as part of your work and will be marked accordingly, alongside your sketchbook Evidence: 7rading criteria: This will be in the form of sketchbook work, final outcomes, research, photographs, blog-books Tumblr! and written proposals. "ass # $erit # %istinction are attainable.

Englis$ and -at$s: This pro&ect will include functional skills in 'nglish and $aths. "lease bear in mind your industry re(uires elo(uent use of 'nglish and accurate use of figures, to which end, the continuing development of these skills are firmly embedded inside all your work. 6ote on cop"rig$t and plagiarism: This process will re(uire independent research. )opying from the internet and additional sources is not appropriate and violates copyright and will be classed as plagiarism unless fully annotated and credited. You must make your work your own. *e need to see that you have an understanding of the areas that you have researched. )opying work directly from A+Y source will not be tolerated. ,f you (uote A+Y e-isting material you must put it in (uotation marks and in brackets, attribute the source # author. .or e-ample: 8Cop"ing is c$eating9 (Ro..ie -c7ovan' ()&3' -is1in T$eatre) .or a more in depth analysis of what is re(uired refer to the Protot"pe Prod!ct Design Tas1 7rids on the following pages.
