Detailed Requirements for Assignment
In small groups (no larger than three students) or individually produce and market a product, or set up and market a service.
Keep a journal which demonstrates both planning and a record of the development of a product or service. It should include photographs, drawings and annotations that clearly demonstrate skills developed, knowledge applied, strategies used and development of outcomes.
While a few aspects, for example a copy of the design being developed, may be the same for all members of the group, each person should record the process in their own way. The journals may contain quite different details, for instance, if different tasks are allocated to each group member.
