Hi Kevork,
I point my guys to the MSOnline support site where a few great examples are there to learn to use the VLOOKUP and other functions. We screamed through the stuff - but, granted, I did have only a class of 3(really keen workers too!).
I have a combined VET/ITApps class and we are now well into exam mode.

At this stage, I may not have an ITApps class next year due to the Cert2/3 implementation I put in its place here.

BTW, now also finalising my VET assessment tasks too.  Its been busy and at times challenging this year but I'd be lying if I said it hadnt been fun too!  Keen students have made my VCE teaching this year a dream!
Kids doing their subject selections for next year at this time...now we wait!

Hi Frank,

   Not so much to make the total 140% of a semester but to realign the weights. SAC41 takes weeks and weeks by the time they learn all the advanced Excel features and I can list them if you like as it will fill 2 pages and cover fifty advanced skills ( don’t forget pie charts have a format  with the largest segment beginning at 12 o’clock and other segments arranged in decreasing order!)  and then to apply it to a new setting. That is just the solution and not counting the analysis, design, testing, user documentation ( design, analysis, development, evaluation),  visualizing the thinking and problem solving processes, reflecting on the positive and negatives, then indicating how the negatives can be improved. It is really a task worthy of a semester.

Actually, let’s list all the skills that went into SAC41. Who’s up for it ? It may go beyond 2 pages .......

Happy to beef up SAC42, but what gives way ?

Kevork

Hi Folks,

 What has hit me is the sheer size of SAC41 in comparison to SAC42.
There is no way the comparative weights of these 2 SACs ( 60 vs 40 % ) is reflected in the volume of work students have to produce. It is more like 80 vs 20 ......

Just my feedback for anyone who may have had a similar experience

Kind Regards

Hi all.  As I plough through marking the mammoth U4O1, I thought I'd share my secret marking tool. I find it makes marking big SACs far easier (since I don't have to add mentally, or remember what I've found so far that is worth marks) and fairer since my marking scheme doesn't vary over time.

It's divided into the 3 tasks, and complex items like mockups and production have little sub-markers underneath for entering components of marks. This is handy where you find the relevant proof at different times and want to record (for example) that 'yes, he did use sheet protection so that's 1 mark' without having to juggle a lot of criteria in one's head at once.

It also gives 3 task totals for VASS result entry as well as % and outcome total out of 60.  If you later stick in your U4O2 test result, it gives your kids' U4 totals (also for VASS data entry).

Hope it helps

Regards
Mark

Now to get onto task 2...
