Arrangements for students continuing study in this course
Students continuing in this course from the previous course must study units not previously undertaken. Please refer to Duplication of Content rules below.
Duplication of Content Rules
Students cannot be given credit towards the requirements for an ACT Senior Secondary Certificate for a unit that significantly duplicates content in a unit studied in another course. The responsibility for preventing undesirable overlap of content studied by a student rests with the principal and the teacher delivering the course. Substantial overlap of content is not permitted and students will only be given credit for covering the content once.
Duplication of Units
This course contains no duplication of units and has no significant overlap with other courses. Teachers should be careful not to allow students to submit similar content more than once in different units and to ensure projects for each unit are distinctly different.
Units from other courses
Nil.
This course contains content that overlaps with content in the Information Technology A/T/M Type 2 and Engineering T Type 2 courses.
Suggested Implementation Patterns
This course is designed to allow students to follow one of four main pathways: The main streams are: Architecture , Graphic Design, and Industrial Design, however CAD and 3D Animation can be a fourth pathway focus by jumping between streams. CAD skills are integrated into all units but can be used as the main tool and product throughout if desired.
