Write up

Documentation of your work is a vital part of your assignment write up.

Many students complete tasks very effectively and then fail to write about it and, therefore, fail to achieve the higher levels.

Below is a checklist of points that you must use in your write-up. This will be placed on top of each of the tasks in your portfolio.

1. You must produce a cover sheet for each task which clearly shows the task number and description, GCSE ICT 2003 and must include your name.
   
   
2. In the Introduction for each task you must state what the problem was that you had to solve. This must also include reference to the design proposal you will create for Task 4.
   
   
3. Your introduction to the tasks must include any sub-tasks that were undertaken.
   
   
4. Finally, you must also answer the following questions:

• What program(s) you could to use to complete the task ? (Possible software)
• What program(s) you used to complete the task? Why did you use those particular program? (Chosen software)
• What did you actually do to complete the task? (Implementation)
• Was any testing necessary? If so, what? (Testing)
• How pleased were you with your completed solution? Could it have been improved? (Evaluation)

You will need to return to this task document throughout the completion of our coursework. Therefore you will need to save it with an appropriate name for each task. It may be a good idea to create a folder for each task and store all the relevant files together.
