Criteria Guideline: Considerations when awarding points
Learning outcome # 1: Ability to visually communicate with clarity
This will be evident in:
1 Legibility of panels Are the boards able to speak for themselves?
Can others identify the design concept and intention without
asking questions?
Are they easy to read, or is it a struggle to comprehend what
is going on?
2 Legibility of drawings/images Are the drawings labelled?
How are the drawings sequenced? Are they arranged in a
manner that tells a story?
2. 2
Has the student used appropriate labelling/legends,
lineweights, linetypes, etc to enhance the reading of his
drawings?

to be graded in consideration with in-
class consultations)
How has the student considered what
drawings/images/models to produce?
Does the student demonstrate an understanding of the
variety of media he can use vs. what he is strong or
comfortable in producing?

process and final product?
2 Delivering on time Has the student met the set deadline?
How has he/she strategised and optimised their working
time?
Having failed to meet the deadline, has the student
