Honesty in the HSC MDP

July 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment

All final year D& T students are particularly busy at this point of the year; however it is about this time each year that a timely reminder about honesty is raised.
It is reasonable to expect that not all students will have all the specialised skills to complete all aspects of their project. It is important to make mention in your folio if you subcontract out some manufacturing of your Major Design Project. Also make sure you discuss this aspect with your teacher

All the best with your Project

Setting up your MDP for the HSC Markers

August 13, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I have had a lot of emails about many aspects of students projects from ‘how to set out the folio’ to ‘the best methods of displaying projects’. These aspects are fully covered in a section of the eBook.

Can I say this!

Keep your cool you are almost there ;the goal is in sight.

Most people have said they are flat out on the folio and the MD Project and have not even thought about how they will set up.

Force yourself to sit down and reinvent the project. What do i mean?

When you first had the dream of manufacturing the project you are working on, you had a million ideas, use those ideas to think about how you will sell the concept to the markers. For example if you have the better bed for emergencies dress the space with information to set the scene.

Keep your head down and working hard.

all the best
