These may include visual and creative responses such as portfolios of research, design development, experimental samples and final designs or artefacts; or text and image, blogs, short videos, presentations, and more traditional formats such as essays, reports and occasional exams. In year 2 assessments focus on establishing how well students understand, analyse and apply this new knowledge and new skills in relation to local and global settings.
