[Year 12 SofDev] SD U3O1 - Advice for teachers

[Mark]

Hi all. I've been unsure about this...

U3O1 requires students to "interpret designs and apply a range of functions
and techniques using a programming language to develop working modules"

The detailed learning activity (
​'​
Shield Security Services
​'​
) in the Advice, however, expects students to show evidence of "a data
dictionary".
​

Not "*interpreting* a data dictionary" (as the previous dotpoint said about
pseudocode) ​


To "show evidence of " a data dictionary implies that students are expected
to *create* the data dictionary.​

​But
- being a design tool - should
​n't the data dictionary
 be provided to students, rather than created by them,
​as
require
​d​
​by
​U3O1
?​

​Ideas?​
