[Design and Technology] Product Design and Technology examination: Human figure shape template

[Arnott, Suzanne S]

And it says there won't be templates in the exam paper either.... So can I surmise that the "quality" of drawings will not be assessed, as long as they are annotated effectively?
I know a few of my students are not confident with their drawing, even though we have done many exercises, and if I can tell them it's the ideas behind the drawings, clarified with annotations, they should be ok and not panic in the exam. I have not put a figure template into our practice exam which is first thing back next term, so will see how they go with that

Cheers
Suz

Dear colleague

A notice about the human figure template is on page 7 of the VCAA Bulletin No 98, August 2012 under the heading Product Design and Technology.

http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/bulletin/2012/2012AugBull_FA.pdf

The notice clearly states that human shape templates should not be taken into the examination.

The Product Design and Technology examination specifications and sample questions are available at:
