Full Description
Exam board: OCR
Level: A-level
Subject: Design and Technology
First teaching: September 2015
First exams: Summer 2016
Inspire your students to tackle the iterative design process with creativity and confidence, using a textbook that delivers the knowledge, understanding and skills they need for the 2017 OCR Design & Technology AS and A-level specifications.
Our trusted author team help you to confidently navigate both the designing and technical principles at the heart of OCR's enquiry approach and to apply them to each of the Product Design, Fashion and Textiles and Design Engineering endorsed titles.
- Supports co-teaching of AS and A Level with clear signposting to the additional knowledge, understanding and skills needed at A Level
- Inspires your students as they undertake the iterative design process, with a look at how to approach the Non-Exam Assessments, including creative examples of students' work for both the Product Development at AS and the Iterative Design Project at A Level
- Helps students to prepare for the written exams with practice questions and guidance on the 'Principles' papers at both AS and A Level, and the 'Problem Solving' papers at A Level
