[Design and Technology] Unit 3 Out 2 SAC query

[Lorraine Tran]

Hi Gabriella, Dean, Mike and other VCE Product Design and Technology
teachers

There are a number of discrepancies within the study design and between the
study design and the assessment criteria. I and a few others have brought
these discrepancies to the attention of the VCAA. Teachers can easily
change the published VCAA SAC criteria because they are not mandated (but
the criteria used should be consistent with the study design). However, the
more significant problem lies with the discrepancies between the study
design and the SAT criteria and descriptors which are mandated. The VCAA
have stated that they are 'monitoring' the study, and it seems unlikely
that any amendments will be made to the study or the assessment
criteria/grade descriptors this year. So, as Mike said, it is really
important that as many teachers as possible let the VCAA know about the
problems.

Also, while I'm here, just thought I'd mention that the sample examination
has been posted on the VCE Product Design and Technology page of the VCAA
website. I have started to write some answers to the exam questions. I'm
sure there may be some further discussion to be had on this list about the
sample exam, once teachers have had a chance to look at it.

Regards,
Lorraine Tran.
