[Year 12 SofDev] Exam multi choice - I'll go first!

Fri Nov 13 13:32:20 EST 2009

how about:

7 D  "set of tasks that must be completed on time" is the crit path
8 B    The question's pov is the company, not the store, so phased looked best to me.
9 A
16 C   int(111.1) -> 112

Section B - seemed good.

Section C - A cursory glance and i didn't see much of algorithm given the course is called "software development"

Hi Heath,

Here is my 2c!

8. D (I disagree - although on the surface D seems to be the correct answer.  The question states that they will be introducing the system to 3 additional stores each fortnight until all the stores are online.  This is not then a true pilot - but would be considered phased - so I would pick 'B').

12.  C (I agree - but the misspelling of the heading personally annoys me more - but that's just me!! - and it's not an option in the multi-choice!)

16. A (disagree - I think the answer is 'C' - 112)

20. D (I agree!  Actually just a general comment - if a company wanted my comment lines to total 50% of the number of lines of code I wrote - I would quit!  I think this question could find a home in a question on tensions between clients and programmers!)

Good effort Heath and thanks for getting the ball rolling.

Overall I think a good paper - although I was unhappy with the lack of programming type questions (but that's just me).

Cheers,

Heya All,

My opinions as an unqualified IT teacher and total non-guru.

 I liked the multi choice a lot. There were lots of clues and key words in the questions that I thought made finding the best answers pretty straight forward.

My guess at the answers, please tell me where I've gone wrong!

1.      A

2.      C

3.      A

4.      D

5.      D

6.      D

7.      C

8.      D

9.      C

10.  A

11.  B

13.  A

14.  C

15.  A
