Re MC Q6
C - Evaluation criteria are set during the Design stage not the Development stage.
B - only checks the Quick Start Guide and not the solution
D is Evaluation (stage 4) and
So that would mean 6A is the best of a bad lot.
Woof?
thanks

MC 6 C (eval criteria -- as a developer you are going to make sure it meets eval criteria before delivery so that it does not come back and you get paid for it)
mc 12 D (test actual boundaries to include what must be in)
mc 16 A (B says can and cannot -->it needs to say should and should not so B is looking into the past and A is looking to the future)
am looking forward to examiner's report already and the dogs breakfast judgement from our pre-eminent list members

Thanks, Heath.
My only discrepancy was Q6 - I suggested A, which while worded to make it seem haphazard, implies testing. I figured the other three would all be part of evaluation.
Section B Question 9 was a bit of a worry...Did they want the kids to draw a 2NF set of tables and then a 3NF set of tables? I just jumped straight to 3NF and described what it would look like at each step. (Didn't use the second page at all...)
Also, Section B Q6...did everyone interpret that as "Facebook. Discuss."?
General impression...apart from interpreting what the examiners actually wanted, it seemed like an easy paper.

A big thanks to Andrew Pate from my two (out of five) students who showed up to class this morning where we concentrated on "the big question". I thought VCAA might have made it a little more structured after last year's low response.
At least in this examiners report we will have a definite VCAA version of the normal forms. Hopefully it won't have any surprises.
Cheers,
