be undue assistance. The issue is as others have pointed out, if the students answer an array based question on the exam with a list then they will get zero marks for it as lists aren’t on the study design.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I contemplated the same. I have told my students that arrays are functionally limited in most cases, particularly reading data from xml documents. I have used them only in the context of Outcome 1 but will show them a more appropriate data
structure when the time comes.<o:p></o:p></p>
