DD has signed up for GCSE Product Design (AQA) which she will take alongside Art GCSE as a one year course when she is in year 10 in September.
She just got an introductory workpack from the teacher and it looks like about 60% of the final mark involves creating a product or products and 40% is a written paper. The written paper involves knowing about different types of materials, impact on the environment, methods of manufacture etc.
It is not quite what DD expected which was a more practical course i.e. making things. I just wondered if anyone else's DC had taken the course and what they thought of it. Thanks!
