THE PROBLEM
We live in an increasingly high-tech world yet few people understand how things work. Coding and programming is a big part of how things work. You will develop your understanding of this fundamental first hand by conducting research and then actually programming as project of your own (following the design cycle).
Note your sources for research these points HERE.
Make a table like this
- Follow instructions carefully
- Address EVERY part of the design cycle as published on this website
- Make and maintain an effective schedule (this is a big part of the course)
- Check your work regularly against the posted rubrics

Formulating a Design Specification
Refer to your statement of the problem AND design brief (RESEARCH) to decide what successful solutions to these problems look like.

8.
Devise questions based on the design specification you just made
EACH NUMBERED DESIGN SPECIFICATION MUST BE WRITTEN AS A QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED
TEST QUESTIONS
These are questions that OTHER people will answer to tell you how well you have done

How will you collect test feedback at the end of the unit?
How will you record this feedback in order to use it in your final Evaluate section?
Evaluating your Use of the Design Cycle
On a scale of 1-6 (1 is poor, 6 is optimal), evaluate your performance on this part of the design cycle.
Refer to the rubric.
