Assessing Criteria B

NBPS Student Criteria B

Achieved Level 3 because the student:

• (strand i) low: selects an appropriate for detailed development with no justification
• (strand ii) low: develops ideas with reference to the specifications that explore solutions to the problem
• (strand iii) low: develops feasible ideas to meet appropriate specifications that explore solutions to the problem

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

• (strand i): Better justify every design choice
• (strand ii): sketch and analyse conceptual designs
• (strand iii): extrapolate more on feasibility with evidence to back it up

The IBO sampler is better than the NBPS example because:

• The IBO sampler gives many sketches with annotations and explanations
• The NBPS example had very little if any explanations of any kind
• The NBPS example didn't have any conceptual design sketches
