Quick questions on IA1 design challenge in QCE Design Unit 3

What are the conditions?Show answer
The design challenge runs under defined conditions set by QCAA and the school. That typically means a constrained timeframe and controlled circumstances, so you cannot endlessly iterate. The constraint is the point: it tests process fluency. Always confirm the exact duration, format and response requirements against the current QCAA instrument your school is using, because conditions can vary between syllabus versions.
What are three near-identical ideas?Show answer
A genuine range means distinct concepts. Minor variations of one idea do not show develop.
What is no visible iteration?Show answer
Even one test or evaluation makes the process read as iterative. A flat, linear response looks reverse-engineered.
What is outcome over process?Show answer
A pretty result with no documented thinking scores poorly. The challenge marks how you designed, not just what.
