[Year 12 IT Apps] IT APPLICATIONS - MULTIPLE CHOICE ANSWER SHEET

Can someone please direct me to an area where I can find a copy of the
multiple choice answer sheet that students will use in the final exam.
Is it on the VCAA website?  I have only found one from 2006 when the
course was called IPM.

Thanks

Claire

Why do people mis-spell 'grammar' and mispronounce 'pronuniciation'?

Hi Litsa,
I think Colin Potts will be quite chuffed to see this comment!
Glad to hear that you like the book. We are currently writing the 2011
edition, so if you have any suggestions then please feel free to let me
know if you would like to see some specific changes.

Regards,

James Lawson

At revision today I talked about the chap who cuts the grass with a
junior
apprentice. The boss rides the lawn mower (50 min) whilst the apprentice
does the edging (30 min) and sweeps the path (10 min). There is only one
mower, edger and broom. The broom can only be used after the lawn is cut
and
edging is done. The group had a good laugh when the remaining few
finally
understood that the apprentice was on the critical path (pun not
intended).

I am enjoying going over the past exams. Students are now in awe at the
work
that is put in to assemble these when I walked them through an examiners
report. My mind keeps turning to all the delicious discussions we have
post
examination time for particular questions. I wonder if any other subject
deconstructs there assessment tasks with such energy and enthusiasm?

Off to see District 9 tonight .. need incentive to finish marking the
last
outcome.
