[Year 12 SofDev] OT - end of Semester

[Philip Feain]

Hi Claudia

We would normally finish before our exam period, however, there were some
interruptions with classes, timing, SAC days, some illness, Year 11s
available and Year 12s not or the other way around and a different timing to
our exams this year. It seemed to be a very awkward term this year.

We felt it was just easier to go one week after our exam period. The
students were happier as there was less rushing of a practice task to get to
the SAC. They also seemed to be less ratty after exams than they were before
them. It has been good preparation for Unit 4 as they have gone from one
straight to the other without the interruptions of exams.

I wouldn't make a habit of it. But it did seem to work OK.

Cheers
