Assessing Animation

We’re all getting a bit confused as to what we have to do for all of the units involving animation.  Below is a list of the assessment evidence requirements for the units we have selected.  You can also download the handout and checklist if that’s helpful.

Also, as I’ve just realised that I’ve forgotten about the test plan in the Interactive Multimedia unit, this summary should be considered a handy summary only.  Please make sure you’ve consulted the SQA unit specification and ASP as well!

Meanwhile here’s is a badly photographed hand-written summary of some other animation units.
