<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Folks</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> I thought I would share the results of the algorithm type questions with you from the 2011 exam:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><img width="362" height="162" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image003.jpg@01CDB381.593DFC40"></span><span style="color:#1F497D"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This ties into the whole database vs files in programming tasks debate as the strategy was to improve algorithm question results.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As can be seen 3 out of 4 students scored a 0 in the second algorithm question . The average in the first question was 3.3 out of 8 ( 41%).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So, I would think students who score at the higher levels in the algorithm questions should also be the ones scoring above 40 ……….</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Those who score near 100% for algorithm questions should be scoring above 45 ………</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Any thoughts ?</span></p>
