Btw how strict where they on the nea
Cause I am currently on doing the design analysis page and dont know how much content is enough

Hi,
On that first page you should focus upon summarising and listing the things you intend to research and do as well as clearly stating that you understand the design context. You can do this by stating a ‘design problem’ linked to your chosen context and then by outlining some research (data etc) which backs up your problem. For example.. if you are interested in designing something to support special needs children in the classroom you would look at some data/stats which proves the problem exists.
The task analysis is a big mind map, I get my students to draw this and scan it in. Focus upon ACCESSFM for the headings. For some of your headings, add a bit of text to elaborate on some of your favoured findings.

I got a 8

Thanks for the help but how can you implement the research. Could you add a hyper link to the website for said research or should i quote from it?
