Presentation to support the completion of rigorous specification for the personal project

1. PP
specifciations
As a table write down 3 specifications of a
good snowman

2. Frankie’s snowman specification:
● It must be white
● It must be made of snow
● It must have a round shape
● It must have a carrot for its nose

3. Use Frankie’s specification to
evaluate this snowman:
● Is it white?
● Is it made of snow?
● Does it have a
round shape?
● Does it have a
carrot for it’s nose?

4. Use Frankie’s specification to
evaluate this snowman:
● Is it white?
● Is it made of snow?
● Does it have a
round shape?
● Does it have a
carrot for its nose?

5. Use Frankie’s specification to
evaluate this snowman:
● Is it white?
● Is it made of snow?
● Does it have a
round shape?
● Does it have a
carrot for its nose?

6. Use Frankie’s specification to
evaluate this snowman:
● Is it white?
● Is it made of snow?
● Does it have a
round shape?
● Does it have a
carrot for its nose?

7. What are the problems with Frankie’s
specifications?
How could these specifications be
improved?

8. Albert’s specification

How will it
appear?
To be a
representation of a
man
What size should it
be?
Limited Snow with stick arms Pile of snow
Does not look like a
man Under 0.5m high
Adequate
Snow with stick arms and
stone facial features One snow ball
Looks somewhat like
a man
Over 0.5m and Under
1m high
Substantial
Snow with stick arms, stone
facial features (eyes and
mouth) and a distinct nose
(example a carrot)
Two snow balls
(head and body)
Looks a lot like a
man
Over 1m and under
1.5m high
Rigorous
Snow with stick arms, stone
facial features (eyes and
mouth), a distinct nose
(example a carrot) and a
fabric hat or a scarf
Three snow balls
(Legs, body and
head) Looks like a man Over 1.5m high

9. Take a look at Albert’s snowman
specifications:
● Why are these specifications
better?
● Why would they be easier to
evaluate?

10. Personal project specification
You will be required to reflect on and allow
other people to reflect upon your personal
project at the showcase.
For this reason you must develop a suitable
specification

11. Specifications - Example

12. Specification stages
1. Identify the details of a rigorous example of
your final outcome using the rigorous goal
outcomes worksheet.
2. For each specification develop a scale from
a limited to adequate to substantial to
rigorous, using the specification worksheet

14. Specifications - Template

15. Level Descriptor Task specific clarification
1-2 Develop a limited criteria for the
product or outcome
 Some specification stated
 Stated list format
3-4 Develop adequate criteria for
the product or outcome
 Most specification described
 Described list format
5-6 Develop substantial and
appropriate criteria for the
product or outcome
 All specification described
 Specification table attempted
 Suitable range shown for some
specification
7-8 Develop rigorous criteria for the
product or outcome
 All specification described and are suitably
challenging specification identified
 Specification table completed
 Suitable range for all specification
