[Informatics] informatics Digest, Vol 56, Issue 15

It is good to see :-)

The sample exam that follows a new study design is designed to introduce the layout, the language and tone. In a sense, if it feels familiar and anchors us to what we have done in the past with fewer surprises .. in some measure, that's reassuring and a good starting point for our students.

I would kind of like us to consider crowdsourcing a magnifying glass onto those past exams wrt the new study design: i.e listing don’t do this and that question, add this missing topic etc .. but the term break and that marking pile beckons (sigh) Don’t forget DLTV VCE Resource Kit & Exam https://dltv.vic.edu.au/VCE-Resource-Kit and especially their free membership  offer https://dltv.vic.edu.au/Join-us

Have a well earned break everybody .. 

Regards Roland

Most of my students have already done these questions and whilst there are some new questions in line with the new study design, this is slightly disappointing.

Sorry for the rant but my kids are hanging out for this to be an 'new' experience for them so you can hopefully understand my frustrations... Thanks.. I think I need these holidays!!
