Unit 1
Unit description
Students interact with a variety of items that have been specifically designed to meet certain needs. Students are introduced to the fundamentals of design. They learn to communicate various aspects of the
technology process by constructing what they design.
Throughout the process, students learn about the origins, classifications, properties and suitability for purpose of the materials they are using, and are introduced to a range of production equipment and
techniques. They develop materials manipulation skills and production management strategies, and are given the opportunity to realise their design ideas through the production of their design project.
Defined contexts
Three different contexts have been defined in this course: Metal, Textiles, Wood.
Students can enrol in more than one context in this course.
Students will study the unit common content and the content of their chosen defined context.

LATE WORK POLICY
1. Teachers undertake to state clearly when work is due. The onus to complete requirements rests with the student who must submit assigned work prior to or on the due date.
2. A student who is unable to submit work on time should approach the class teacher at least a day before to the due date to request an extension. An extension is not automatic. Reasons to support the request for extension must be given. The teacher will use his/her professional discretion to determine whether the granting of an extension, with or without penalty, is justified.
3. Where an extension is granted, a late penalty MAY be imposed. The range of penalties from which a teacher will select and impose at his/her discretion include:
* extra work
* the absence of written comments about the student's performance
* a reduction in the assessment awarded for each extension day granted
* a combination of any of the above
4. Late work for which an extension has NOT been sought and granted in TES subjects, will attract a penalty of:
- 10% on the first day
- 20% on the second day
- and a minimum of 50% on the third day.
Unless the student was absent on the day of submission and provides a written explanation from his/her parent/guardian to explain the absence, work submitted THREE (3) or more school days after the due date will automatically have a minimum of 50% of the marks available subtracted from the awarded mark. Negative marks will not be an option available to teachers.
5. In the event of a student not submitting work by the due date and not seeing the teacher prior to the due date, a teacher:
(a) records the fact in the student’s diary.
(b) instructs student of consequences of failure to hand work in by the next school day.
NB: The next school day is defined as the subject period the next day or, if there is not a subject period the next day, it is by the end of recess two and must be given personally to the teacher.
(c) if needed, record second lateness in student’s diary and phone parents.
(d) if after three days the work has not been submitted, a formal letter is sent home detailing penalty and detention date.
(e) at the commencement of each course, Heads of Learning Area should provide students with a summary, approved by the Deputy Principal (Curriculum), of the College’s assessment/late work policy.
COMMON ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK AND OUTCOMES BASED COURSE
Common Assessment Framework subjects and Outcomes Based Courses have particular assessment concerns which warrant a particular Assessment Policy Statement, but one which incorporates the basic principles of justice, equity and consistency that underpins the John Paul College Assessment Policy. It is the student's responsibility:
(a) To attend all classes and participate fully in all activities.
(b) Perform all tasks which are part of the learning and assessment programme, and submit them on or before the published due date.
(c) To find out and catch up with the work they miss through absence from class, irrespective of the reason for absence.
STUDENT ABSENCE AND ASSESSED TASKS
The onus is upon the student to contact the teacher to negotiate any assessment task or work missed through absence.
1. Absent With Legitimate Reason / Medical Certificate
Students who are absent on or before the designated date for assessment task submission must make contact with the teacher in person or by phone or FAX to negotiate new arrangements where possible, 24 hours before the due date.
2. Practical Work Missed - Legitimate Reason / Medical Certificate
Practical assessment tasks may or may not be attempted, depending upon the nature of the task. For example, in the case of group work, students will not have the opportunity to be assessed. However, it may be possible to assess individual practical work depending on time and resources available. It may also be possible, in
Materials Design and Technology: Unit 1
23
consultation with the teacher, to complete an alternative task.
3. Practical Work Missed - Prolonged Injury / Illness
In the event of a prolonged injury or illness which prevents participation in practical work, teachers will advise of alternative procedures. In most cases, when injuries are only temporary, teachers will encourage participation through observation to enable the student to complete an alternative assessment task.
4. Absent Without Legitimate Reason
Students who deliberately absent themselves from class to miss assessment or learning tasks will be given an automatic ND for each outcome assessed and will be required to complete missed work. However, such students will have to wait for the next scheduled assessment task to demonstrate mastery of the outcomes assessed by the missed task.
5. Late Assessments
In Year 11 and 12 CAF subjects, assessment tasks will normally not be accepted for grading purposes after THREE (3) school days past the last day for submission unless prior arrangements have been made with the teacher and only after consultation with the Head of Learning Area. The submission of late work without an approved extension will attract the following penalties:
1. Work submitted one day late will be disqualified from gaining a ‘VH’.
2. Work submitted two days late will be disqualified from gaining an ‘H’.
3. Work submitted three days late will be disqualified from gaining an ‘H’ and the student placed on detention.
4. Work submitted after three days will receive an ‘ND’ and a formal letter sent home detailing penalty and detention.
Penalties for late assessments for Outcomes Based Courses in Year’s 8 to 10 will be determined in 2007 by the Curriculum Team under the direction of the Deputy Principal (Curriculum).
6. Re-Submission
Students who have received an assessment of `ND' for a particular outcome may re-submit work only if:
1. The original assessment/work was submitted on or before the due date or by the time negotiated with the teacher;
2. The issue of re-submission is negotiated with the teacher and in consultation with the Head of Learning Area.
3. They have demonstrated a commitment to completing that outcome during allocated class time.
4. The assessment can be upgraded only to a Satisfactory. (S)
7. Cheating / Plagiarism
If cheating in any assessment task is established, then the student should anticipate being given an "ND" for each of the outcomes in the task. Whether or not the offending student is given the opportunity to re-submit the assessment task will be at the discretion of the teacher in consultation with the Head of Learning Area.
Students who give their work to other students to copy or plagiarise will incur the same penalties as the person who copies, plagiarises or cheats.
GUIDELINES FOR COMPILING A BIBLIOGRAPHY
Plagiarism is copying anything from a book or article and not referencing it. This is stealing someone else’s words and ideas and is ILLEGAL. An assessment plagiarizing others work will automatically lose marks and in major cases will be grounds for a zero mark. Every assignment is to be accompanied by a BIBLIOGRAPHY – the list of books, articles or readings that you used to find your information.
- Bibliographies are to be included at the end of the assessment and must be in alphabetical order.
- Start a new line for each reference source you describe but do not number items.
- For handwritten bibliographies, underline the title.
