[Year 12 IPM] RE: Another Powerpoint Query

[David Howard]

I am reluctant to allow students to use cheat sheets in Test Sacs, as
they will begin to rely on them in the actual exam. However during Sacs
such as Unit 4 OC1 and will be Unit 3 OC1 next year, when creating a
database, I don't mind them having notes on how to create a database.
These notes won't tell them what tables to create or what data
validation rules to use for the Sac case study.

Don't get too carried away with Photostory. According to APC mag, it
isn't in Vista (if you are planning to upgrade).
