General marking guidance

All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the last candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the first.

Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than be penalised for omissions.

Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme – not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.

All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.

Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification/indicative content will not be exhaustive. However different examples of responses will be provided at standardisation.

When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, a senior examiner must be consulted before a mark is given.

Crossed-out work should be marked unless the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.

Scenario

Pixie Plates

Pixie Plates were the idea of Amanda Lemmons, a fine arts student at Leeds Metropolitan University. On her course Amanda studied a unit on computer graphics. She became fascinated with the pixilation that occurs when a bitmap graphic is expanded too much. She experimented with 10 by 10 grids and came up with an idea for a physical manifestation of pixilation. She used 1 mm square wire mesh to create a 10 by 10 grid and inserted small semi-precious gems into each section of the grid to form a pattern or design. A simple fastener was attached to the wire mesh, which clipped onto special chains to form necklaces and bracelets. She paid her way through university selling this homemade jewellery on market stalls in and around the Leeds area.

On leaving university she sold the idea to LFG plc, a large jewellery manufacturer with retail shops throughout the country. This gave her enough money to follow her profession as an artist without having to worry about how to pay for food and shelter.

LFG made a few minor modifications to the idea. It developed a method of producing artificial stones by compressing the powder produced when gems were shaped for other jewellery. This means that LFG can make money from the waste product of the manufacturing processes.

The artificial stones are identically sized and shaped to fit into the wire mesh. The weight of the stones is measured in carats, each carat being 0.2 of a gram. The weight of a stone produced by compressing the powder is half a carat.

LFG also produces display cases for Pixie Plates and has designed clip and pin-and-butterfly fixings to which single Pixie Plates can be attached, making earrings.

Demand for Pixie Plates took off when Rebecca Rose, the celebrated actress, wore a necklace of Pixie Plates when she received an award for best actress for her role in ‘La Feuille Nouvelle’.

The popularity of Pixie Plates is helped by the current trend in jewellery collection. Pixie Plate collectors are always on the lookout for new designs to add to their collections. Demand for the new designs can be predicted. LFG has developed a formula to do this based on their retail price.

Each month LFG produces three new designs for Pixie Plates. To appeal to all potential customers it sets the designer the target of producing one to retail at between £50 and £100, one in the range £500 to £750 and one which would be between £1,000 and £2,000.

As the amount and type of gem powder available each month varies, depending on other jewellery LFG has produced, the designer is asked to design the new Pixie Plates to use up what is available. For example, one month it has a lot of citrine so the designs would be mostly orange.

The previous designer started to work on a spreadsheet model to help her with the design process. It was not only to help her with what the designs would look like but also to calculate how many of each design would be needed and whether she had enough raw material to produce the predicted number of Pixie Plates. Unfortunately for LFG, she got a new job as a designer of crystal for a famous glass producer in Ireland. She left the unfinished model with notes for the next Pixie Plate designer.

Worksheet Description

Designs

This is the worksheet I was going to use to put together the actual designs. As well as three areas to try out different designs, there is a corresponding area for each design that will calculate how many stones of each kind are used and how much a Pixie Plate will cost to produce. There will also be a totals area to keep track of the total number of stones required for this month’s orders and the amount of raw material remaining.

Stones This worksheet will contain the amount of gem powder I have available for this month’s designs.

Stock Control This worksheet will keep track of the amount of gem powder I have used for each design and also the amount remaining.

Some cells in the model are password protected. Should you wish to experiment with the model, the password is edexcel. Be aware that if you change the contents of any protected cell the model may not work.

The ‘Designs’ worksheet contains three areas in which to create your designs C7:L16, O7:X16 and AA7:AJ16.

Each design has a calculation area D18:L24, P18:X24 and AB18:AJ24 respectively. Cells in each of the calculation areas are merged in the same way so that the formulae in D18:L24 can be copied/replicated into the other two areas. You must not unmerge these cells.

When you build formulae in D18:L24 you will need to be careful to set the absolute addressing so that the formulae will refer to the correct ranges and cells in the design grid above.

Cell D18 is a merged cell that will count the number of citrine stones in the left-hand design. Enter a formula into cell D18 that will count the number of times the value “C” appears in the range C7:L16.

Hint: Remember this formula has to be replicated down as well as copied into cells P18 and AB18 to count the citrine stones in your other two designs.

Replicate this formula down to D24.

Enter a formula into the merged cell F18 to read the cost per carat for citrine from the ‘Stones’ worksheet.

Replicate this formula down to F24.

Activity 4 User guide - Indicative content Title e.g. Using the Pixie Plates Design System.

System helps you design the Pixie Plates while helping keep an eyeon stock. The new designer is to produce 3 designs per month pluspossibly a wall mount and the must be in the stated ranges as far asprice goes. The number sold will be predicted and therefore theamount of a gem left, there must be enough gem powder to fulfil theorder.

Each month the price of each type of gem will need to be input, thesource of this could be the company as the scenario indicates or itcould be a site on the internet. The amount of gem powder mustalso be input, the data source for this should be manufacturing.

Codes for stones, entry into design, where the price is displayed,have we got enough gem powder, number of stones used in design.

Tip: For cheapest design fill with Tourmaline using replication to provide a basis for start.

Evaluation of the model with respect to ease of use and constraints. (i.e. it would be better if… )

Model allows you to see visually how things are being used up, itdoesn’t help you create a design using your own methods ofdesigning.

It would be better if there was formatting to show when you exceedkey values.

It would be good if the model predicted if you lacked enough gems tofill the background once it detected what colour you were using.

Can’t copy or rotate/move designs as you build them. More difficult to reset the designs. Could improve the UI experience by adding buttons and macros.

Scenario

Wallsherpool Sixth Form College – Theatre Company

Wallsherpool Sixth Form College is located in the North East of England. Vicky Wilkinson is the performing arts teacher. She produces performances at various times during the year. Some of the performances are used to generate evidence for students studying A-level performing arts, others are purely for fun. The next production will be The Wizard of Oz and it is a performance for fun. It will be performed for the general public over a number of dates.

Every performance needs students to take a range of production jobs, for example sound crew, directing crew and actors. Students specify the production job they would like to have. They keep the same job on all productions they are involved in.

Each production has characters, which only actors can be assigned to play. For example, in The Wizard of Oz there is a character called Dorothy. Only one actor is assigned to a title role, such as Dorothy. Up to ten actors can be required for a bit part character, such as winged monkeys.

Currently Vicky keeps handwritten records of students and productions. She is finding this stressful as it is hard to make sure production jobs have been filled and all characters have actors assigned to them. Vicky knows you are studying ICT and thinks you could develop a more efficient IT-based solution to register students and manage the productions. In the first instance it has been agreed that you will design and build a prototype relational database system that will focus on three tasks.

1 Registering students, which involves:

• ensuring their name, gender and preferred production job are present

• generating a unique student number

• storing the student details if all requirements are met

• providing a suitable message for Vicky, so that she knows what is happening.

3

Turn over S59837A

2 Assigning students to characters and other jobs for The Wizard of Oz, using one form only, which involves:

• selecting the production

• indicating what type of production job the student is to be assigned to

• if it is an actor then:

• selecting the character

• displaying details for this character

• calculating the number of actors still needed

• ensuring only a suitable actor can be assigned to that character

• storing the character assignment if all requirements are met

• updating any records as necessary.

• if it is another production job:

• allowing the job to be selected

• allowing only a suitable student to be assigned to that job

• storing the job assignment if all requirements are met.

3 Printing characters needing actors – A report that shows the characters that still need actors for the current performance.

Different designs for form Could have used buttons on menu - 1 for acting , 1 for other and two separate forms for input Could have used combo box for acting/other Could have used list boxes or allowed user to input requirements for production/character etc Could have automatically filtered to current production when the form opened so that the production combo box becomes redundant Could have arranged controls differently – two sections across form as opposed to two sections down form Instructions on use could have been included Level Of Study Being Used More Appropriately Could be used when selecting lead roles so that A2 are shown before AS as they would have more experience so could possibly be better for the lead roles.

Layout indicates what needs to be done and makes it more clear to see how to do it with the instructions given in the task. Different designs for form Could have used buttons on menu - 1 for acting , 1 for other and two separate forms for input Could have used combo box for acting/other Could have used list boxes or allowed user to input requirements for production/character etc Could have automatically filtered to current production when the form opened so that the production combo box becomes redundant Could have arranged controls differently – two sections across form as opposed to two sections down form Instructions on use could have been included Level Of Study Being Used More Appropriately Could be used when selecting lead roles so that A2 are shown before AS as they would have more experience so could possibly be better for the lead roles. If students doing course with practical assessment then could be used to show students who needing assessing for particular units. Level Mark Descriptor 0 0 No rewardable material.
