German B - Copenhagen International School

Assessment of the student’s work focuses primarily on the level of engagement of the PROCESS
of the design cycle. This is to say that sometimes the outcome of a project will not always reflect
the learning that has transpired, and therefore, the product is not weighted exclusively as the
most critical criterion for judging the success of the learning experience.
This emphasis on process is a critical part of the IBMYP Technology Program and means that
students will be asked to maintain records of their progress as they work on projects.
These “process records” (know as Design Folders) will be used by the teacher to gauge the level
of fulfillment of the grading criteria. The grading criteria for a project are precisely the same as the
steps of the design cycle.
Here is list of the grading criteria and the total points possible for each criterion:
Investigation
