<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"> I'm not sure if it has been answered on this edulist, but I have a question about
<strong><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">marking Criteria 6</span></strong> where it states "<strong><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">Documents the efficient use of a complex sorting algorithm in the solution".</span></strong><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">From my interpretation does this mean that students HAVE to use a sorting algorithm (they can choose from insertion, bubble, selection or quick sort? )<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">Complex means
</span></strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">- they can only choose from selection and quick sort ( and not insertion or bubble sort)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">Document means</span></strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"> - they need to explain and justify why they used the particular sorting
algorithm? In terms of time complexity and usage of memory space?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">I was wondering how others are marking this criteria.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
