[Design and Technology] 2018 study design issue

[Lorraine Tran]

Hi Robin, Lisa and others on the list

Yes, I agree that there seems to be a problem with the wording you've
quoted. But there is also another problem in that the text under the
heading refers to evaluation criteria that inform the selection of the
preferred design option as well as being used for the finished product, but
the dot points only refer to the finished product.

Also, we need to keep in mind that the evaluation criteria for the design
options cannot always be the same as for the final product. You could ask
about how well a garment fits the end user (for the finished product), but
not for the design option.

Robin...I'm sure that a list of changes to the study design will be
published in the future. We need to keep an eye out for it and let others
know when it's available.

Regards, Lorraine.
