3.2.1b Problem-solving
Student Book
pp 82–85
If you are to produce a successful artefact it is essential that you are prepared to be flexible in the production of your work. You should begin to think about possible problems you may encounter whilst working and consider how you would solve these problems whilst working. List some possible problems and their solutions in the table below. There is guidance on doing this on page 84 of the Student Book.
Potential problem | How this could be solved |
If my artefact includes using a machine and I cant use the machine on a certain day that I may need it. | Make sure I find out days that I will be aloud and able to use it, or look for another place where I might be able to use machinery. |
The colours I have chosen to use come up black and white and not in colour | Get a range of different colours I could use if this happens |
The Computer could brake down whilst I am doing my work. | - I will keep a copy saved on another computer. - I will go to the library and use another computer - I will save a copy of all work I have done onto my USB Stick. |
For the artefact that I am producing, I might need to use certain machines, but I might not be able to get access to this machine at a time that I need to use it. | Find out what days I am able to use the machinery that I need to use at this place. And find out any other venues that have the available machines that I need to use that I may be able to use. |
It could turn out to look bad, or not as good as I expected it to look in the end. | I will plan my artefact out artefact, so I will know what it will look like nearer to the end. |
While I am working with my artefacts it might not be coming out how I want it to. | I will adjust certain features each time I work on my artefact if this starts to happen. |
Loosing my USB Stick which stores all my work | By making sure that all my work I have done is also saved onto my home and school computer, and send it to my hotmail account in case something is wrong with any of the computers. |
I don’t know what design I want to do on my artefact. | I will do a range of designs and symbols and then choose which one I like best to then use. |
My teacher might not have enough time to help me on my artefact when I really need her help. | I will look for a guide on the internet on ‘how artefacts are made’ and try my best to do it that way. |
Could run out of equipment to use or loose my equipment | I will see if I can borrow any from friends or family just encase this happens, and be extra careful with it so it doesn’t get lost. |
The space that I am working in might be over crowded so I might not be able to work to my full ability | I will move away if the place that I am working in is too overcrowded. |
Have more than 3 ideas | Have a back up plan just encase my first idea does not work |
