Guidelines for marking

The following guidelines for marking show one approach to assigning a value to a student's work. Other approaches may be used that better suit the reporting process of the school. Categories, marks, grades, visual representations or individual comments/notations may all be useful.

Range

A student in this range:

8-10

(High)

  • represents and links all components correctly
  • presents a flow chart that performs the specified function
  • demonstrates a high level of proficiency in the use of ICTs

5-7

(Satisfactory)

  • represents and links all components correctly
  • presents a flow chart with one or two inconsistencies
  • demonstrates proficiency in the use of ICTs

1-4

(Progressing)

  • incorrectly represents and/or links components
  • presents a flow chart that requires significant modification to be operational
  • demonstrates limited skill in the use of ICTs.

Feedback

Students will be provided with feedback through written annotations on their completed flow chart and group and individual discussion with students. Feedback will focus on student understanding of control systems and representation.

Future directions

This Activity provides skills and knowledge that can be applied in the subsequent production of more complex control systems. Students will represent their future designs for control systems solutions using the knowledge and skills developed through this Activity.
