[Year 12 SofDev] My U3O1 SACs and assessment guide - UPDATE!

[Mark Kelly]

Lovely task, Adrian.

Being an inveterate fiddler, I tweaked it a little to add a specific 
security risk (AJ's competitive brother), and a little more detail to 
the network diagram.  Tweaked version attached. Hope you don't mind.

A few houskeeping queries...

- How long would you give kids for this?  It looks like a 90 minute 
double-period job to me.
  - Are you mandating that software be used to produce the network diagram?
- For that matter, will you have computers turned on at all?
- Would you be letting kids refer to notes?


Cheers and thanks again

Mark
