On The Right Track
Design Cycle Report
Design
spreadsheet designs:
Spreadsheet design #1
Explanation:
Evaluation:
I think this design is good because:
- The subjects are on the left
- The criterion are on the right of the subjects
- Highest marks for each criteria is listed beside the criteria
- The highest possible total for each subject is on the right
Evaluation:
I think this design is good because:
- It has every subject
- It has every assessment criteria
- It has the overall grades
- It has different colour for each subject
I think this design is not good enough because:
- There is no space for units of each subject for the students to full in
- No calculation space
- It has no heading
Spreadsheet design #2
Explanation:
- The subjects are on the top
- The criterion is right below the subjects
- The highest possible marks for each criteria in each subject is listed below the criteria
- The highest possible marks for each subject is at the bottom
This design is good because:
- It has every subject
- It has every assessment criteria
- It has the overall grades
- It has different colour for each subject
This design is not good enough because:
- There is no space for students to fill in their units for each subject
- There is no space for calculation
- It has no heading
Conclusion
I will create design #1, because:
- It's simple but has all the information needed
- The layout looks good
- It is easier to understand than design #2
Stand-alone designs:
Stand-alone design#1
Explanation:
- There is a title about what it is about on the top
- It is divided into 2 sides
- 4 subjects in each side
- Criterion for each subject is listed
- The highest possible mark for each criteria is listed beside it
Evaluation:
This design is good because:
- It is stand-alone
- It is not too short and not too long
- It is specially designed for MYP students
This design is not good enough because:
- It doesn't have the explanation of how each assessment criteria is graded
- It doesn't have the explanation of how the overall grade is calculated
- It has no image
Stand-alone design #2
Explanation:
- The title of the poster is at the top
- Every subject is included right below the title
- The criterion is on the left
- The highest total is on the bottom
Evaluation:
This design is good because:
- It is stand-alone
- It is not too short and not too long
- It is specially designed for MYP students
This design is not good enough because:
- It doesn't have the explanation of how each assessment criteria is graded
- It doesn't have the explanation of how the overall grade is calculated
- It has no image
Conclusion
I will create the stand-alone design #1, because:
- It is simple
- Easy to understand
- Organised
- The layout looks better than that of design #2
I forgot to include the explanation of how each assessment criteria is graded and how the overall grade is calculated. I also forgot to design the space for images, so I am going to add these things to my stand-alone design #1 during my creation.
