Task: Evaluate and reflect upon the design and production of your project. (5 marks)
It is very rare indeed for a project to go exactly as planned and for there to be no changes made to the design.
You should explain and evaluate the construction process and explain any changes made to your design.
It's fine to change your mind while you are making, but you need to explain those changes.
Task: Success criteria (5 marks)
Use your table from the Investigating stage of the design process as a check list for your completed light.
How does it stack up?
Task: Design tests for your finished light: (5 marks)
How will you know if it is any good?
Consider field trials, user trials, surveys and practical testing methods.
User trials: controlled testing with users
'User Trials' are normally carried out with a prototype product or used to evaluate a complete or existing product with real users in a relatively controlled environment.
Field trials: 'real life' testing
This method is usually performed with final products or in the evaluation of completed products. How could you do this with a clock?
Peer feedback or surveys can also be used.
Describe the tests that you will conduct in detail and how you might use the results to improve your final product.
Design Improvement: (5 marks)
Sketch or annotate a photograph of your completed project to highlight any improvements you could make to this design.
