Criterion C: Development (12 marks)

 * The student must identify techniques used in developing the product.
 * The student must explain the techniques, with screenshots, that were used to develop the product identified in criterion A, explaining why they have been used and why they are adequate for the task.
 * ~ Marks ||~ Description ||
 * 0 || The response does not reach a standard described by the descriptors below. ||
 * 1–4 || The use of techniques demonstrates a low level of complexity and ingenuity or does not address the scenario identified in criterion A. It is characterized by limited use of existing tools. There is no explanation of why the techniques are used or how they are adequate for the task. Sources are used but are not identified. ||
 * 5–8 || The use of techniques demonstrates a moderate level of complexity and ingenuity in addressing the scenario identified in criterion A. It is characterized by some appropriate use of existing tools. There is some attempt to explain the techniques used and why they are adequate for the task. All sources are identified. ||
 * 9–12 || The use of techniques demonstrates a high level of complexity and ingenuity in addressing the scenario identified in criterion A. It is characterized by the appropriate use of existing tools. The techniques are adequate for the task and their use is explained. All sources are identified. ||

Stage 4: Creating the solution
There are a number of steps in stage 4. The information within this section should be read in conjunction with the following:
 * “Guidance for the development of the internal assessment” in this publication
 * the section on “Development of the solution” in the guide.

Using the criteria
It is the teacher’s role to inform the student fully of the internal assessment requirements and the assessment criteria, and it is the student’s responsibility to fulfill these requirements. Teachers should give all students a copy of the assessment criteria. This helps when students are developing the product and associated documentation because the criteria are a guide to the way marks are allocated. Teachers should advise students to follow closely all five assessment criteria (A–E).

Word count and format
These word count figures in the table below are guidelines. <span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12.0012px; vertical-align: baseline;">The overall word limit for the solution is 2,000; however, it is possible to complete the solution in 1,500 words without a significant loss of quality. <span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12.0012px; vertical-align: baseline;">If students write extended prose in the sections where the word count does not apply, these words will be counted in the overall word count. <span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12.0012px; vertical-align: baseline;">It is strongly recommended that the documentation is submitted in a commonly used format such as a PDF. <span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12.0012px; vertical-align: baseline;">**Prescribed format(s) of presentation are indicated in bold.**

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12.0012px; vertical-align: baseline;">Students are required to use the following forms in the development of their solution. <span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12.0012px; vertical-align: baseline;">Blank files in .rtf format for extended writing are also included in the zip file and may be used. https://ibpublishing.ibo.org/live-exist/rest/app/tsm.xql?doc=d_4_comsc_tsm_1201_2_e&part=4&chapter=4
