[Design and Technology] Opportunity to provide feedback on the 2014 exam

[Lambert Dean]

Have just completed the feedback for the exam online and I would suggest that as many people can do so as this is a great opportunity to raise concerns that we all have. The feedback took 5-10mins and there were opportunities to write comments which supported the answers you gave to the statements.



Regards



Dean.

Subject: [Design and Technology] Opportunity to provide feedback on the 2014 exam

Design and Technology and Systems Engineering teachers
The notice below is taken from the November VCAA Bulletin.
Given the discussion on this list about VCAA providing examples of responses to the design brief options in the Product Design and Technology exam report, perhaps teachers may wish to raise this concern (and any others they may have about the exam) in the survey, or through direct contact with the exams unit (see phone number below).

Also, I reckon that now may be a good time to contact the Curriculum Manager, Design and Technologies, Leanne Compton compton.leanne.l at edumail.vic.gov.au<mailto:compton.leanne.l at edumail.vic.gov.au> if you have any concerns about the SAT criteria.

former VCAA Curriculum Manager, Design and Technology

VCE examination survey 2014

Teachers of Units 3 and 4 VCE studies and scored VCE VET programs have the opportunity to provide the VCAA with feedback about this year's VCE examinations.

The online examination feedback survey<https://surveymanager.com.au/anon/1953.aspx> is open until Sunday 30 November. All teachers of Units 3 and 4 are encouraged to participate in the survey, which takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete. A summary of the responses to the survey will be used to provide feedback to the examination writers and by VCAA management in the annual evaluation of the VCE assessment program.

Any enquiries should be directed to the VCE Examinations Unit on (03) 9032 1789.
