Iv'e noticed that some of your assessments are based on folio work already done. My teachers reckon you can't do this because as written in the syllabus "Aspects of the major design project that are used for school based assessment should not be used for internal assessment" Is this true?? Am I being ripped off?????

well by now i have almost finished my portfolio
in the halfyearly exam there were questions about the portfolio but they were constructed so that they did not make you refer to your specific product.
for example "discuss the importance, with examples, of the planning stage used in the development of product solutions"
this doesnt specify that you have to refer to your product, but the phases you go through in designing and documenting the product include the phase asked in the question, and because you have first hand knowledge of using this phase then they assume that most people will be able to answer the question properly.

Meh, we had the same thing.
It's just a way for teachers to make sure you're keeping up to date, it's in your own interest and there is no reason why it shouldn't be legal.......it's not like the teacher can't just go "well hypothetical speaking i'd give that a 10/10" and that's perfectly legal if they don't ever give you that mark, so it's really stupid to begin with. I guess some teachers see how stupid it is and choose to ignore the rules and use parts of your MDP as some of your assessments.
You're not getting ripped, it makes no difference really, you are quite able to walk up to your teacher and ask them directly what they think of your MDP and what you have to change to get full marks.
