Hi Chris
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The issue of students approached people cold for a the SAT is real concern. What I did this year was help facilitate this a bit by sending a email out all senior teachers at my school. The teachers came up with App ideas and I then got students (first
in first dressed basis) to chose from the app idea list. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That overcame the issue of approaching clients, they could talk to people they knew. The problem was getting them to develop an ongoing relationship with clients and properly deconstructing the problem and therefore developing a kiss-arse app.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just sitting down to have a serious look at the year and improve my course.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A sort out and rewrite of things that did not go as well as I thought.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Keep the good stuff and rewrite the rest.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks to the active members on the list. You have made my life easy or rather easier.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My major concern is the nature of the SAT with a large class of students.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This will be the main food for thought before we start next year.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Basically : The quality of the problem and the client determines the overall performance on the SAT.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Students who are able to generate good problems based on approachable clients have an extreme advantage over students who lack the confidence or initial knowledge to find a client.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The less able student will often generate an unworkable problem or simplify make up a client ( as I found out too late to do much about it)
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From this starting point the student is prevented from scoring highly on most of the 8 criteria.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So on reflection I will be looking at </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span>Develop the awareness of what is required in the SAT before the new school year. Step up next week</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span>Develop clear expectations as to what is required in a quality problem (Searching Sorting etc.)
</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="">3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span>Development of practice scenarios in the creation of a suitable SAT topic.
</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="">4.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span>Refusing students to progress further with unsuitable topics.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
