Agree - C is the least worst answer.

Hello Mark and others.. I believe (c) to be the most obvious response to
multiple choice Qn 4 by a process of elimination. a) and b)lack
consistency, d) would lack consistency and quality as the reports are
hand written and  writing may be illegible  so that leaves c) one
assumes the reports would then be computer generated and show quality
and consistency in output. cheers, Jenny

	A few comments:

	 

	Multi-guess section

	 

	Q4 I will be interested in what people thought was the correct
response (I'm still not sure)

	 

	Q16 and Q8 both examples of IPM-speak not used in the real world
(a waste of time and energy?)

	 

	Q5 will confuse lots of students. Is this the way to get a
spread of marks?

	 

	Q20 will challenge those students who are mathematically
challenged.

	 

	Short answer section

	 

	Q8 will be easy for the boys, harder for the girls. What
happened to equal opportunity?

	 

	Q2 most will get wrong because they will miss one word "design".
Is this a fair question? Are we testing their IT knowledge or their
comprehension skills?

	 

	Q1 I wonder whether "Not printing passwords on coffee cups" is
an acceptable response.

	 

	Q11 I loved the case study

	 

	Q11c I suppose an acceptable response would be that this would
eat into class time and effect student learning. 

	BUT would our over worked stressed out teachers really be
unhappy?

	 

	Q11e The real world would suggest a number of correct responses.
Another example of IPM-speak that don't reflect the real world.

	 

	Q12b (ii) A tiny little box to describe an appropriate strategy
for the ergonomic requirements for users. Most organisations have
booklets pages and pages long dedicated to this.

	 

	Overall

	 

	Too easy and no (or hardly any) sign of project management,
networks, network topologies, GANNT charts, PERT charts etc

	 

	Will wait with interest for the results (dec 12?) and the
examiners report next year.
