[Year 12 IPM] ITA Outcome Taxonomy + that other query about classes for 2007

[Alexakos, Zach Z]

I've already asked the prin. for a time allowance and a pay rise for
next year-just for ITA and what's the other one called again? IT
Inaction?

I'm teaching a combined class of Year 11 and 12s in 2007.  Aren't I
lucky!

Ps:  and I shouldn't forget the timetable now should I? Or maybe I
should just herd everyone to the gym for a year and have the school to
myself. Woo-hoo, no more queues.  

Back to the rage.

Subject: [Year 12 IPM] ITA Outcome Taxonomy

Hi, perfumed public.

ITA outcomes have become bigger and longer because there are only 2 
outcomes in ITA U3 and U4.

The outcomes now have up to 3 tasks in them (e.g. U4O1 =3D spreadsheet, 
user documentation, visual representation.)

May I suggest a new and excitingly-confusing taxonomy that includes the 
task number... e.g. U4O1T2 for Unit 4 Outcome 1 Task 2?

I can't wait for 2011 when the new study design comes out.
ITA becomes "IT FUN AND GAMES (PLEASE ENROL... PLEASE!)" or
'ITFAG(PEP)'.
Outcomes get even bigger and tasks get subdivided into "Enjoyabilities".
Outcomes are so big they're called "CATs" again...

Oops!  Is that recidivist heresy?

But seriously though folks.  I tried working out a marking scheme for 
the ITA U4O1T2 (onscreen user documentation) and it asked for so much in

15 marks that I had to assign ONE WHOLE MARK for an IPO chart!  I guess 
I'll be marking in farthings in 2007!*

*For young folk out there, a farthing is a quarter of a pre-decimal 
penny (which was actually never used in Australia, I believe. Farts even

older than I may correct me on that.)
