The work is of a high standard, and we do, to some extent, see an iterative client led approach to the project. The work has a level of realty as it is based around an existing company and in general is approaching the higher levels of each of the assessment criteria. |  | Centre Mark | Mod Mark |\n| Grid 1\u003Cbr>Investigation\u003Cbr>Evidence | In this section we are expecting to see the candidates exploring a range of pertinent design possibilities that grow out of a clear conversation with a real client or a proven narrative with a target market that has a level of reality therefore mimicking commercial activity.\u003Cbr>The candidate does explore the work of the VARP organisation and looks at the client NWV’s to some extent, but the work moves towards some kind of design trolley quite quickly. Slide 1 seems already to be focussed on luggage. This is a pity as the candidate did miss chances to explore the company in more detail looking at design spaces or staffing facilities workstations or storage. That said there is, on slide 2 a brief further exploration of the client and the organisation especially in terms of the work that they undertake and the client base. There is a statement of intent which we hope will be re-worked into a brief. The client interview does help a little. Slide 3. The submission is a high-level 2 |  | Level 2 |\n| Grid 2\u003Cbr>Analysis/Research\u003Cbr>Evidence | At this level, would expect candidates to have clearly identified focused research that it pertinent to their specific design problem that offers clarification or refinement of the needs. This type of research would then focus on the needs and lead into firm technical and measurable specification points.\u003Cbr>The initial research has some value in the sense it does try to pin down the needs of the client and the requirements to store and transport samples. It goes on to look at overall design possibilities that may shape the designs this is to be commended as an unusual approach. Slide 4. The anthropometrics seems to be a little textbook lacking a little focus, but the brief case measurement has some relevance, on slide 5 has some relevance.\u003Cbr>In the main body of the text on anthropometrics the candidate does make some judgements based on the ‘found’ data regarding the size of the product. On slide 6 the hand luggage assessments are of some interest There is some product analysis and materials and processes |  | Level 3 |\n\n\n|  | analysis, but this is too textbook for example on slide 8 the materials are largely described, with little relevant analysis. You could argue clasps and castors is relevant. On slide 9. In slides 5 to  11 some of the research is very relevant but often the work is too descriptive, but it is underpinned with some client commentary.\u003Cbr>It is a pity that a further analysis of the products to be stored was not undertaken this could have helped in the specification and indeed perhaps provided opportunities to undertake some calculations.\u003Cbr>The ‘above/below the line’ e.g. slide 7 does provide some balance. The candidate may have benefited from a ‘test’ run to a VARP customer to examine issues e.g. transportation, carriage etc.\u003Cbr>The key here is , within the assessment criterion, the word perceptive, that is a little lacking. This is a high-level 3 performance.\u003Cbr>Slide 4-11. |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Grid 3\u003Cbr>Specification\u003Cbr>Evidence | Candidates need to develop specification points that show clarity and are specific, realistic, technical, and measurable; these specification points should be justified from their research and from consultation with their client/user-group. This section is critical as it is referenced by many other sections.\u003Cbr>The spec does have some measurable elements but p","cbCain5ggv0k24eI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain5ggv0k24eI","pdf",129859,"English","# General Description\n# Grid 1 Investigation Evidence\n# Grid 2 Analysis/Research Evidence\n# Grid 3 Specification Evidence\n# Grid 4 Design ideas Evidence\n# Grid 5 Development Evidence","[{\"question\":\"What is the portfolio being assessed?\",\"answer\":\"The commentary assesses a “Design trolley” portfolio submission for GCE Design \\u0026 Technology Unit 9DT01.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the reviewer say about the portfolio’s overall quality?\",\"answer\":\"The reviewer describes it as well presented, high standard, and reasonably succinct, with an iterative, client-led approach.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main weaknesses highlighted in the assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Weaknesses include research that is often too descriptive or textbook-like, limited product analysis for what is being stored, and insufficient testing to examine transportation and related issues.\"}]","GCE Design & Technology Unit 9DT01 - Design trolley - commentary sheet portfolio assessment | PDF",1792469556,15]
