[Year 12 SofDev] SD key knowledge

[Christophersen, Paula P]

Dear Andrew

 

I would like to express my disappointment at the tone and nature of your
comments regarding the expertise and the responsibilities of the study
design review panel. 

 

Everyone has a right to express their views in a fair and reasonable
way, and to me in this instance you have the right to let the VCAA know
of your concerns, but I believe that it is unfair and unprofessional to
target the individuals comprising the review panel. 

 

I will respond to your study design query tomorrow.

 

Regards

Paula

Hi Mark

[nice ppt btw]

Each and EVERY member of the study design panel should be able to
clearly and unequivocally, definitively  answer your question because
they put it in the study design. It did not get there by accident. All
members of the panel are responsible for the document...
Members of the panel discuss (and read) the document and have the
opportunity to clarify anything that they do not understand.
Just occasionally something gets missed ... That is why we have errata
and corrections published (and I know all about those!)

If it is not an errata the there must be a definitive answer so let's
just ask the panel to provide it rather than us guessing, perhaps not
getting it in the way that the panel intended  and absolutely missing
what the exam setting panel might think. We do NOT want the exam setting
panel to receive a torrent of unwarranted adverse comments. 

As mature sensible professionals we should all be working towards a
common set of understandings that are generously shared (as per this
list).


[btw - at least a dead dog does not fight you when you stick the cotton
bud in to its ears! Try doing an alive Alaskan malamute! ]

SD U3O1 KK04
Purposes and functions of the physical layer (Layer 1) of the OSI and
the relationship of the physical layer to the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol model

For quite some time now I've been avoiding this KK because I'd rather
clean a dead dog's ears than spend time on the OSI.

But in the end I had to find the cotton buds and get stuck in, and I
think I have a reasonable overview of the OSI and how TCP/IP maps to it.
(even produced a draft slideshow
<http://www.vceit.com/slideshows/SD-OSI.ppt> ).

But the second part of KK04 really has me baffled: the relationship of
the physical layer to the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol model.
I know that TCP/IP's Network interface layer maps to OSI's physical
layer (and the data link layer), but for the life of me I can't see how
it's any more significant than any of OSI's or TCP/IP's other layers.

Can someone suggest why the relationship between the OSI physical layer
and TCP/IP is so significant?  
Has this relationship been in the papers?  Has this physical
relationship resulted in offspring?
Is Mr OSI going to be on Oprah... or the Jerry Springer show?
