Leaving Cert design & communication graphics: ‘Fantastic choice for students’
Posted date: 02 Jul 2021
The Leaving Cert design and communication graphics exam papers offered “fantastic choice” to students, according to teachers.
Seosamh Mac Ceallabhuí, a teacher at Coláiste Ailigh in Letterkenny and a TUI subject representative, said this year’s paper had a marked emphasis on more challenging geometry questions.
“That will have challenged some students and served the stronger students well,” he said.
“However, there was lots of choice and plenty of room for manoeuvre, so students’ will not have been caught out.”
Robert Kiernan, a teacher at Dublin’s Institute of Education, said it was a “very fair paper” with an “excellent variety of topics”.
“Fantastic choice meant that no matter what students had covered in class, there was something for everyone,” he said.
Students were not pigeon-holed into answering section B and section C and, as a result, could play to their strengths.
“There was a great sense of symmetry in the questions in sections B and C. They were easy to visualise and not very challenging to construct.”
