[Year 12 IT Apps] U401 SAC

Thu Jul 31 14:59:42 EST 2014

I expect that students complete the practice Sac mostly out of class time and submit as homework task - that way they at least get feedback before the real thing. Generally allocate 2 or 3 1 hour lessons for prac. Mine get about 10-11 hours in total for the Sac including running into lunch or before or after school depending on timetable. This takes just over a week but not two full weeks of classes.
This year I was able to block 4 hours on sport afternoon which worked well and am in the process of applying for that time again for U3 O2 and U4O1 in both Apps and SD.

Thanks

Hi I find the same thing it does take a long chunk from your teaching so I no longer do a full practice sac I just do parts of.

I'm not teaching IT Apps this year either, but I used to allocate 4 X 90 and 2 X 45. It was a rush, and it extended more than once into an extra double period. It's a big chunk of time out of Unit 4 and affects the amount of time that can be given to exam preparation. If you do a full practice SAC as well, that's almost half of Term 3 gone.

Hello all

I am keen to know what time frame others are allowing for this assessment task as it has quite a number of components.
How many periods are people planning on giving and what length are they.

I have planned for 6 x 70 min periods at this stage however am having second thoughts as the kids are struggling with this time frame as we work through a practice SAC.

Look forward to hearing what others are planning.

Thanks
