Experiments-Do not throw them away

November 8, 2008 · Leave a Comment


Once the project starts you naturally will experiment with samples and materials. If after testing something does not work, do not throw away the samples!

Relevant test pieces and experiments also need to be documented and displayed to demonstrate processes you have undertaken.

A hand-written diary may seem  sometimes  as a low-tech approach but it is a very powerfull and useful tool in showing the development of your MDP.

good luck for 2009 HSC

Use information available to you from the Board of Studies

July 5, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Often D & T students ask me questions about their Design and Technology course which is readily available on Board of Studies websites. I am amazed how many students get to this stage of their project and have not read the advice from their educational authorities.

Here are some sites you should have read by now.
