C10 — Skills in Evaluating the Solution and Assessing the Project Plan
The Hamilton and Alexandra College · Year 12 · 2026
C10 is the lightest criterion in the SAT: almost all of its evidence already exists in your repository. There is no checkpoint, no separate validation sitting and no interview. Each judgement is taught in a short slot, written by hand in class from printouts of your own work, and graded against what your repo already shows.

G["Your C10 mark<br/>4 indicators × 25% = /40"]
Two streams meet at your mark: what you write by hand on the day, and what your repository already proves. Neither carries C10 on its own.
How C10 runs
| Indicator | Taught — slot (5–10 min) | Written in class (collected) | Graded from |
|---|---|---|---|
| C10-1 Solution evaluation | Slot 1 — Use · Explain · Propose | Class write 1 — your solution (≈ half a lesson) | Your C4 matrix, and the repo evidence each verdict cites |
| C10-2 Stages evaluation | Slot 2 — evaluate, don't describe | Class write 2 — your process (≈ 20 min) | SRS versions, mockups and UI screenshots, timestamped |
| C10-3 Plan modifications | Slot 3 — annotate, then judge twice | Class write 3, side A — your plan, annotated (≈ 10 min) | Baseline Gantt, board snapshots, commit history |
| C10-4 Plan effectiveness | Slot 3 — same slot; the sheet walked through | Class write 3, side B — the effectiveness sheet (≈ 15 min) | The collected sheet and the dates it cites |
Each indicator is scored out of 10 and is worth 25% of the criterion — /40 in total.
Conditions — all three class writes. 🔒📱 Handwritten on the sheet provided: no internet, no devices, no notes. Your teacher hands you printouts of your own work — your C4 matrix, your SRS/mockup/UI trail, your plan. Sheets are collected at the end of the lesson.
Two dates are checked before your marks are set
Your C4 evaluation matrix must have been committed before the C9 beta window opened, and your SRS refresh before the C6/7 validation. Your teacher reads those dates from the server — git log, or the commit page on GitHub, never a date typed inside a document. Criteria fixed before the results exist are predictions your evaluation genuinely tests; criteria written afterwards can be shaped to fit and prove nothing. You might lose marks if either is overdue.
At home you practise each judgement in the C10 Booklet — The Last Mile on the worked Godot Tetris example, watch the set video, and complete the commit-now prep step before class write 3 — commit your plan's current state with an honest note of what has changed since your C01 baseline. Honest gaps count. The booklet and the full assessment package are in your S-C10 folder.
Foundations
C10-1 — Evaluating the solution
C10-2 — Evaluating the analysis, design and development stages
C10-3 — Documenting the modifications to your project plan
- Tracking Plan Changes — annotated Gantt charts and project logs
- Recording Project Progress — a 20-minute practice task
- Reading a Git Log — three real logs, anonymised
