Term 1 Revision & Assessment
Can I bring together simulation, electronics, systems thinking and design to solve a real PNG problem?
- Sit the end-of-term written test (25%)
- Present the Simulation & Electronics Design Project (30%)
- Reflect on growth and set a Term 2 goal
Overview
Week 10 wraps Term 1. You have a written exam covering all five benchmarks and a practical showcase where each group presents their design project — brief, CAD schematic, simulation or working prototype, and reflection. Make time to rehearse.
Written exam plan
Section A — multiple choice and short answer across models/simulation, components, systems and careers. Section B — extended-response questions where you apply the design cycle to a scenario. Read the whole paper, plan time, and answer the easy questions first.
Project showcase
Each group has 5 minutes: problem statement, CAD schematic, live simulation or prototype demo, and one thing you would improve next time. Audience asks two questions per group.
Reflection & Term 2 preview
Complete the reflection sheet: strongest skill, weakest skill, top habit to carry forward. Preview Term 2 topics with your teacher.
Term 1 reflection
- Write one thing you now understand that you did not in Week 1.
- Write one project moment you are most proud of.
- Write one habit you will keep for Term 2.
- What weight does the written exam carry?
Reveal answer
25%.
- How long is each project presentation?
Reveal answer
About 5 minutes.
- Give one habit worth carrying into Term 2.
Reveal answer
Keeping a design journal, or documenting every simulation result.
Set one SMART goal for Term 2 and pin it where you will see it every day.
