[Informatics] Informatics new exam format for 2016

[Garth, Lucas A]

Including Section C because Real data and a real purpose leads to real learning
It looks like Section B will be all about listing 5 reasons for and explaining why a is different to b.

"Section A will consist of 20 multiple-choice questions worth 1 mark each and will be worth a total of 20 marks.

"Section B will consist of short-answer questions and will be worth a total of 30 marks.

"Section C will consist of short-answer and extended-answer questions, including questions with multiple parts. Questions will be based on a case study. Materials relating to the case study for Section C will be presented in a detachable insert in the centrefold. Section C will be worth a total of 50 marks."

I wonder what the rationale was behind this change.
