A-level Product Design Folder Help

I have recently finished making my product design project in which I made a large studio desk. However, now is the time for the write up of the folder. I have always been bad at the ever since doing food technology in GCSE and got a U for my folder last year due to lack of detail, whilst getting an A for my making. Has anyone got any helpful documents or past folders that they have done or any help whatsoever into what I can include/put into my folder work. Many thanks in advance for the help :smile:

http://www.mr-dt.com/designing/pdcourseworkdocs.htm here's one of the website that was quite helpful in terms of some thing that you need to include... I know it's for GCSE but it will get you started and you just have to make it more detail as its for AS :smile:

Look for the course specification on the exam board website, there should be info on there on what you need to have.
Im actually doing A2 haha, ive never been good at write ups but the link you gave me is very useful thanks, i believe im with AQA for the course :smile:

Oh right, yeah am with edexcel... Am doing the AS and A2 this year XD am half way through my A2 folder
How many pages should i aim for roughly/how many do you have so far? :smile:
Anyone got an example word document file they're willing to upload, obviously without they're candidate name, number or centre number just to give me a little kick start I'm what I should aim to be writing as the links provided are for gcse and my teacher always say I don't include enough detail. Many thanks in advance and will always repay the favour if someone helps me at least get a C :smile:
