Hieeee, Im Hayaam
I take Product design, Eduqas examboard,
My subject consists of 50/50 split of coursework to content,
I enjoy the theory the most about my A-Level and I also enjoy the practical parts of the work sometimes I think in my portfolio can be a bit taxing and development design is quite annoying as well as the research but I love sketching designs and cadding as well as hands on work. I chose design and technology as a way to keep hold of the engineering part of my curriculum before I go off to med school. I would like to gain a variety of skills and I feel like I already have from both the GCse and a leveling

Im AnnoyinHuman,
I take Product Design but OCR examboard
50/50 coursework split too but I prefer the coursework - mostly the making and designing though, we are doing design dev. at the moment and it just feels a bit useless and unguided, but I'm learning loads for the exam cos its woodworking!

Hiii nice to meet you all!!
I do Edxcel
in DT i really enjoy the seeing my idea come to life in form of a tangible product.
In DT i struggle most with memorising the theory content.
I choose DT because in GCSEs my favourite subject was Art, and i love working with my hands (like crocheting) so I was curious to explore other creative subjcts at A-level.

i hope we can help each other !!
