However, the phase of mock papers we did, i found that they really helped because they were very relevant and they gave us a good insight into how the exam was laid out and the type of content we were going to be examined on.

However we didn't go through any marking scheme for the exam so i wasn't sure where any marks are allocated.

There was lots of extra information on Blackboard to help as well.]]> 2018-06-13 08:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966417 https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966446
The teaching and learning aspect help a lot towards the final exam as they followed the same structure. Also the timing aspect helped a lot in the final assessment.]]> 2018-06-13 08:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966446 https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966489 help was given when required, resources where given to assist in the work ]]> 2018-06-13 08:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966489 https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966515 if found that the teaching was helpful and guided me in the right direction to help me achieve the best results possible. i found the sample assessments useful and helped me to know what i would see in the exam and help me prepare for it.]]> 2018-06-13 08:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966515 https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966639 The teachers were great and gave us everything we needed for the exam and how to complete it well. They gave us numerous past papers for us to practice on, as well as practicing researching in the allowed time. I am very confident that this Unit will be one of my best, and in my opinion the best unit in our course in terms of teaching and learning.]]> 2018-06-13 08:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966639 https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966794 2018-06-13 08:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966794 https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966938 The final assessment went better than thought as the teaching and learning aspect helped massively. The component that was chosen was better than those that I did past papers on as I could talk in more depth in the final exam.]]> 2018-06-13 08:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966938 https://padlet.com/andy_gregory/13m4lsqkgafb/wish/266966952 in the preparations for the exam i found that the 3 hour learning period for us to conduct our research effectively and give ourselves a better understanding of the task rather than reading only the breif information given in the starting task A. On the actual exam itself, activity B gave a much clearer representation of what the client was asking for, the problems with the design, what improvements could be made, etc. the exam was laid out nicely although I found that for some of the activities the marks were a little unrealistic for what they were actually asking for. Needless to say, the exam was not at all bad to do.

In general the exam was great and personally feel like the time allocated (3 hours for Researching and 8 Hours Writing) was enough for the completion of the exam and reviewing it. Part A was quite vague in information but however was still able to complete it.
