This revised Workbook for the Engineering Studies syllabus aims to align with the types of questions now being asked in the HSC examination. Its purpose is to provide students with typical HSC-type questions relevant to the 10 units covered in the Engineering Studies Workbook, allowing them to practice and develop their skills after completing each unit in class.
One of the key aspects emphasized in the Workbook is the importance of understanding what is required in HSC questions and how to correctly structure and answer them. By providing typical solutions, the Workbook helps students learn how to approach and respond to HSC questions effectively. It also highlights the fact that well-set-out answers with the relevant information can still receive high marks, even if the answer itself may be partially or completely incorrect, depending on the circumstances of the question.
The Workbook aims to achieve several goals:
- Support for Teachers: The Workbook relieves pressure on teachers when faced with explaining a question they may not be familiar with. With the provided solutions, teachers can work through the solution and guide students effectively.
- Practice for Students: By providing typical HSC-type questions, the Workbook offers students an opportunity to practice and familiarize themselves with the question format and requirements of the HSC examination.
- Learning from Solutions: The Workbook's solutions serve as learning tools, allowing students to understand how to approach and answer HSC questions. This approach promotes effective learning and provides students with valuable insights into correct answer structures.
- Testing Teaching and Learning: The Workbook offers teachers a means to assess the effectiveness of their teaching and students' learning progress. It serves as a tool for evaluating the comprehension and application of concepts covered in the units.
- Convenient Work Setting: The Workbook can be used by teachers to conveniently set work for teacher or student absences, ensuring continuity in learning.
- Integration with the Engineering Studies Workbook: The Workbook is designed to complement the Engineering Studies Workbook. After completing each unit of work, students can work through typical HSC questions related to the unit, reinforcing their understanding and application of the concepts covered.
By providing solutions that students should model, the Workbook helps students and markers recognize the value of well-structured and comprehensive answers, even if they contain some incorrect or partially incorrect information.
Overall, the Workbook aims to develop student and teacher confidence in the subject by providing opportunities for students to practice and master the types of questions they are likely to encounter in the HSC examination. It serves as a valuable resource for both teachers and students, facilitating effective teaching, learning, and assessment in Engineering Studies.
