They offer some disparate starting points but settle on the area of hockey coaching. The overall impression is that the evidence submitted appears to access the highest levels of the assessment criteria. |  | Mod Mark |\n| Grid 1:\u003Cbr>Investigation\u003Cbr>Evidence | The candidate offers a wide range of initial trigger points for the project. (Slide 3) . None of which are used to inform the final design outcome or are linked to a specific client/client need. This page is superfluous to the assessment for this section.\u003Cbr>The project gathers more focus and relevance on slides 5 and 6. The client is introduced as Hockey coach, and the interview alludes to a variety of design possibilities. To gain the highest assessment criterion a greater level of exploration and detail with design possibilities would be necessary. Examples could include, general club storage, issues loading unloading cars, drying facilities etc.\u003Cbr>The justification of the chosen problem on slide 7 , could be more comprehensive, however the issue feels real and the client input reinforces the mark awarded. Overall, the identification of the possibility is effective but not comprehensive. | Low level 3 |\n| Grid 2:\u003Cbr>Analysis / Research\u003Cbr>Evidence | The research plan on slide 8 , helps justify why the research is undertaken, and links this to the clients need and wants. The research undertaken has some relevancy in terms of materials processes and existing solutions, and is not wholly textbook in style.\u003Cbr>Slide 11 , the existing solutions are narrow in their field, and introducing an analogous solution would illustrate a broader understanding of the problem. For example, the solutions proposed, except for the crate are methods of counting, reference to a shadow board, that illustrates when items are missing, could provide an interesting twist on this scenario.\u003Cbr>The candidate demonstrates a good use of prime research on slide 12. Inside the annotation are perceptive links and justifications for finding this research and directly linking the findings to crucial elements of the final outcome, that are later referenced in the product specification.\u003Cbr>The material selection table on slide 13 has a high degree of relevance as material properties are discussed with reference to the products function and the environment in which it will be placed. | Mid-level 4 |\n\n\n| Grid 3:\u003Cbr>Specification\u003Cbr>Evidence | Slide 14. The specification.\u003Cbr>As part of the specification criterion, we are expecting to see a refined design brief resulting from the research, this can be seen at the top of this slide.\u003Cbr>The specification is succinct in that the candidate bullet points the requirements, some of these points are also justified. However, there is a lack of general measurability, in that we do see some simplistic numerical reference but there is a lack of reference to the research.\u003Cbr>For example, specification point 8 suggests that any handle should be greater than 110 mm in ‘width’. This in its self is unclear probably really meaning length, but also the justification is largely descriptive. The submission is certainly sound but the lack of measurability, relationship to the research and limited descriptive justifications do not evidence a perceptive approach. | High level 2 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Grid 4:\u003Cbr>Design ideas\u003Cbr>Evidence | Several different design strategies are used to good effect. Slide 15 , shows thumbnail sketches and the source of inspiration. The annotation is largely function based, with little feedback from the clients perspective. The same sketches appear on slide 17 , with a CAD rendering of the idea, and a stress analysis. This would have been further enhanced with a compare and contrast of different structural profiles, highlighting any benefits fou","cbCaimSUVJ94a10V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimSUVJ94a10V","pdf",227092,"English","# Investigation\n## Analysis / Research\n# Specification\n# Design ideas\n# Development","[{\"question\":\"What strengths does the commentary identify in the candidate’s investigation and research?\",\"answer\":\"The commentary credits a range of initial trigger points and a research plan that links to client needs and materials processes.
