[Year 12 IT Apps] IT applications 2007 exam: assessor's report

[Meadows, Roslyn M]

Actually it is quite commendable to the examiners when there is only one
multiple choice question from the exam that creates
discussion/disagreement.

I shall continue to tell my students - 
	- if two or more choices look correct - choose the BEST ANSWER
	- if no choices look correct - choose the BEST ANSWER

Cheers
Ros

Hello Mark

>Checking the spelling of a suburb is surely data validation?
interesting question.

if a person types Balwin instead of Balwyn does that make the data 
incorrect? If there is such a place as Balwin I guess at the very least 
their entry is misleading, and therefore having some sort of scan
through a 
list of existing place names would be a useful validation technique. But
is 
it the spelling that's being validated or the existence of a place with
that 
spelling?

...and anyway, does an old CRT monitor falling in the forest make a
sound if 
there's no one there to hear it....????

Two weeks in and mania is already starting to hit
