Assessing Criteria A

NBPS Student Criteria A

Achieved Level 4 because the student:

• (strand i) : Identifies a problem and gives a few examples of why it is a problem and develops a simple brief that identifies few relevant parameters of the problem
• (strand ii) low: Identifies an appropriate problem that leads to a design opportunity
• (strand iii) low: Describes an appropriate problem that leads to a design opportunity

The student would have achieved a higher level if they had:

• (strand i): Better explain why cheaper is better
• (strand ii): Do more market research to help support market specifications
• (strand iii): Explain why that design was chosen if it provided a better internet speed per dollar.

The NBPS example is better than the IBO sampler because:

• The IBO sampler had a problem but the problem was really broad. He was trying to help kids with ADHD and Autism the same way.
• The NBPS example had a very good grasp on the problem and good research as well even though his explanations were lacking
• The IBO sampler's design is out of the stone age. In a class called design tech you think someone would be better able to come up with a better product than a box that kids stick their head in. should've asked kids or people with ADHD and Autism what they thought about sticking their head in a box.
