Assessment in this course
Practical Assessment (100%) - Course assessment consists of a practical activity, where you make a finished product from wood using given drawings. In addition, you are required to keep a logbook and complete a case study, which also contribute towards your final grade. The assessment and case study are set annually by SQA, with work being assessed internally and externally by visiting assessors.
It is important to note that students are required to adhere to Health and Safety practices in the practical workshop. Failure to follow safety rules will result in the student being removed and parents / carers contacted. Recurring unsafe behaviour will result in students failing the mandatory Safety outcome and will be unable to be given the full award.
