Honesty in the HSC MDP

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

Experiments-Do not throw them away

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

New Web page

Someone once said that “the only constant thing in this world is change.”  As the world is about change  I thought it was time to upgrade the Design and Technology website. I have included a free site to help students prepare their folios, a competition to win a copy of my  Design and Technology eBook, and advertising space. If I am a little slow to respond to your emails please forgive me. At times there are large volumes of emails  and complex issues requiring a little research on my part. Can I say, please do research yourself I can not be expected to do the lot!

It is after all your project.
