Yeah I agree, Q6 must be A, since it can't be the other 3....

Re MC Q6

C - Evaluation criteria are set during the Design stage not the Development stage.

B - only checks the Quick Start Guide and not the solution

D is Evaluation (stage 4) and

So that would mean 6A is the best of a bad lot.

Woof?

thanks

MC 6 C  (eval criteria  -- as a developer you are going to make sure it meets eval criteria before delivery so that it does not come back and you get paid for it)
mc 12 D  (test actual boundaries to include what must be in)
mc 16 A   (B says can and cannot -->it needs to say should and should not     so B is looking into the past and A is looking to the future)

am looking forward to examiner's report already  and the dogs breakfast judgement from our pre-eminent list members

Thanks, Heath.

My only discrepancy was Q6 - I suggested A, which while worded to make it seem haphazard, implies testing. I figured the other three would all be part of evaluation.

Section B Question 9 was a bit of a worry...Did they want the kids to draw a 2NF set of tables and then a 3NF set of tables? I just jumped straight to 3NF and described what it would look like at each step. (Didn't use the second page at all...)

Also, Section B Q6...did everyone interpret that as "Facebook. Discuss."?

General impression...apart from interpreting what the examiners actually wanted, it seemed like an easy paper.

A big thanks to Andrew Pate from my two (out of five) students who showed up to class this morning where we concentrated on "the big question". I thought VCAA might have made it a little more structured after last year's low response.

At least in this examiners report we will have a definite VCAA version of the normal forms. Hopefully it won't have any surprises.

Cheers,
