[Year 12 SofDev] RE: Ross from Sunbury College

[Claudia Graham]

Hi Ross,
 
Re the practice SAC not sure who's that is so can't help there
 
Regarding the use of the internet not something I have done or would do,
for me it would be too hard to 'patrol'. But as long as all students
have the same conditions it doesn't matter (mind you I don't have a
study design or assessment hand book beside me to check re conditions)
 
Same for the time frame, I assume you mean a lesson or two prior to the
holidays and then some after (or similar), not something I would do just
for authentication purposes. I would do it all in a few lessons; I don't
even like weekends between assessment lessons if I can help it.

Subject: Ross from Sunbury College
 
Hi all,
 
In regard to SD I have a couple of questions.
 
1. I have given my class a Practice SAC called Shagadelic Carpets
(refer to attachment) (hope the author is OK with this). My question
is....does anyone have the solutions so I can check if I am on the right
track.
 
2. When I give my students the actual SAC:
 
   i. Can/should they access the internet.
   ii. Would there be a problem (in Vic) if the SAC extended through the
Term One holiday period into    Term Two.
 
Kindest Regards

In October 2006, Netflix announced it would give a cool seven figures to
whoever created a movie-recommending algorithm 10 percent better than
its own. Within two weeks, the DVD rental company had received 169
submissions, including three that were slightly superior to Cinematch,
Netflix's recommendation software. After a month, more than a thousand
programs had been entered, and the top scorers were almost halfway to
the goal.
