<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<br>
<br>
I am sitting here writing U4 Apps OC1 and being struck by a good deal of
insecurity (read <i>OMG I'm doing it wrong!</i>). <br>
<br>
I am trying to write it to include the keys skills below and using advice from
Mark Kellys 2008 Melb Uni lecture for a grading scheme. <br>
<br>
I have such an ability spread in this years group that I'm struggling to figure
exactly where to pitch it. This is my first year with Apps, last year we did SD
and I was lucky enough to have a class of evil genii that made it easy to set
the bar (well out of reach lol).<br>
<br>
There are no sample U401 SACs on Edulist to get a feel, I was hoping that some
kind soul might have a U401 SAC they could share for perusal purposes.<br>
<br>
Alternatively are there QATS available for Apps and are they any good?
Thoughts?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Brett Groves<br>
