Four units of project descriptors and matching comments.

This resource is designed for marking student work, NEA-style projects, or end-of-unit assessments. The band descriptors provide clear, progressive criteria from basic (1-5 marks) to excellent (16-20 marks), making it easy to justify grades and identify next steps. The comment banks allow teachers to quickly select relevant, constructive feedback tailored to each student’s specific strengths and areas for development.
Perfect for maintaining consistency across multiple classes, supporting moderation discussions, and providing students with actionable feedback that links directly to assessment criteria.

Design & Technology Product Design Assessment - Technical Drawing, CAD & Modelling Skills with Band Descriptors and Targeted Feedback Comments
This comprehensive Design & Technology assessment resource provides detailed marking criteria and feedback banks for evaluating Year 10 student work across four key technical skills areas. Each unit includes band descriptors (0-20 marks) and targeted comment banks to support efficient, consistent marking and meaningful student feedback.

What’s Included:
Unit A: Isometric Drawing (20 marks)

Band descriptors covering crating accuracy, isometric projection techniques, and rendering quality
Targeted feedback on construction lines, parallel consistency, and 3D representation
Comments focused on improving technical accuracy and presentation

Unit B: Oblique Drawing (20 marks)

Detailed criteria for oblique projection techniques and depth consistency
Feedback on crating methods, angle accuracy, and design clarity
Guidance on rendering and finishing techniques

Unit C: CAD Design (20 marks)

Assessment criteria for 3D modeling accuracy, complexity, and tool proficiency
Comments covering SketchUp-specific techniques (Push/Pull, Follow Me, Groups/Components)
Rendering and material application feedback

Unit D: Physical Modelling (20 marks)

Rubric for evaluating practical model-making skills and accuracy
Feedback on tool use, craftsmanship, and attention to detail
Comments on finishing quality and design intent
