Assessment Tasks

Summary and purpose of assessment

This assessment is on the submission of a completed pair of shoes, which is based on your original design.

 

Task instructions

The final shoes are made through the process of first the design then the Prototypes, culminating in a completed pair of shoes.

The final shoes are to reflect industry standards and the students best practice of skills and knowledge of construction. 

 

Conditions for assessment

Submission of final shoes will be in week 16.

The shoes are to be place in a shoe box provided and labelled with student name & number on the "Short" end of the box.

Time will be allocated during class for the duration of Semester 2, for students to seek advice relating to the construction of their shoes..
