Hi all,
Question 14 MC was an interesting one. Initially I answered D but after looking at it again it could be B? The rest I agree with Damien. Thank you for putting your answers out there. 

With section B, I thought Q7 was challenging if students didn't read the information properly. 
There is more to this question than just the first reading. For example working out which boat seats 6 or 4 people? Each boat has one captain. The linking of tables would be challenging for some students. 

Q8 answer will be interesting when clearly the privacy laws have been contravened. I agree with Damien in that I can't see the ethical issues here? Maybe, hoping that no one will find out & the school will receive new spots equipment?? Doing some good cancels out the illegal action?

Looking forward to seeing the examiners answers.
Regards,


Antoinette Siarabalos

While anyone with IT knowledge should be able to answer this one, I am still trying to figure out which section of study design actually covers this. Honestly, I haven't discussed this in my class and wold not be surprised if my students struggle to get this right.

> The rest of the paper seems pretty good. I am a bit dodgy on Sect B Q8; the ethical dilemma regarding the School Admin.  I don't see the dilemma, it's a pure and simple breach of the law to sell those details off. Is the dilemma whether she goes to jail or not? Maybe she has a dilemma to obey the law or get sporting equipment, but I don't see it. I thought these questions were supposed to be clearly not a breach of the law, just ethically questionable.
