<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Corbel",sans-serif;color:#993366;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">That being said, I would have thought that the language meet the Programming requirements (to ensure equity) like Richard mentioned.
Usually I’ve had discussions with students to ensure they know that support may be limited (as you might not have a good knowledge of the language they have chosen compared to what you have used in U3O1) and usually had them show me some examples of what they
have done and can do with their “alternative” language to a similar level of what was required of students in U3O1.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
