[Year 12 SofDev] My U3O1 SAC - 2008

[Claudia Graham]

Hi Andrew,

 

Personally I do the opposite, I find Semester 1 very heavy on with
theory. We do 3-4 sessions out of 9 (a fortnight) in programming,
sometime less, the rest is theory as Outcome 1 requires so much
knowledge. Outcome 2 on the other hand students can handle quite well as
they all did design, testing, validation etc in previous years.

 

I do revision tests quite regularly and do an end of semester test to
cover the material for Unit 3.

 

I must admit I do push the line that the exam is 50% of the course so we
will be doing 50% of our work on it throughout the year. My students
have already had a go at last years exams, and from the beginning of
June will do an exam paper a week.

 

Just my approach not necessarily better.

Claudia

Hi,

How are people mixing theory with computer work?
I am teaching VB.net and alss covering quickly the theory in the SD
book.

I will concentrate on their VB.net learning for SACs and term3 will
concentrate on exam style questions from checkpoints book. I think this
is where you need to work at their theory, when it is an exam style
question organized in topics. 

I just think it is a waste of time covering theory in great depth now
but my class takes notes and does some questions.
