[Year 12 IT Apps] Can anyone clarify

[Brendyn Hancock]

To all List Members
 
Please.
 
My comments about not receiving the Qdos for contributing to a
storyboard resource was a bit tounge in cheek. I have always found it
funny that this resource has about, at least 6 contributors that I am
aware of. One of which was me. Thanks to all.
 
My request for clarity on the SAC was genuine. Thanks to all who
replied. (Thanks for corrections Antonio.)
 
The VITTA CD is fantastic. Warts and all.
 
Thank you to all who contributed to its development.

As part of this ongoing discussion I would like to point out that the
VCAA support CD for Implementing VCE IT has numerous factual and other
errors including:
- one website with incorrect title
- authors incorrectly represented on resources with initials and name
omissions (several instances)
- incorrect publisher on at least one book
- several books by major local publishers omitted
- poor punctuation throughout the resources, with at least 8
"formatting
and convention" errors
- year consistently recorded after the author instead of at the end of
the reference
My understanding is that resources should be listed as such: 

Fee, Elizabeth, and Daniel M. Fox, eds. AIDS: The Burdens of History.
Berkeley: University of California Press, 1988.

This does not occur anywhere under resources. If students were to make
such errors on VCE essays they would be penalised. Please bring this
to
your student's attention.

The CD also does not list any of the VITTA programming CDs as
resources,
so I assume that they feel these are not worthwhile - but I guess this
is a decision that was made, not an oversight.

People in glass houses ...... should proof-read and check resources on
a
resources CD.

David Dawson
