OK.  Do a global search and replace and change "Bee" to "Cow".  Job done!

Thanks for that Mark. After a quick glance I could see a bit of an animal cruelty lawsuit on our hands as the posting of bees is illegal in Australia so I have informed RSPCA, the World Wildlife Fund and just because you seem like a nice guy I've also hired a lawyer on retainer for when this hits the courts. I'm also in negotiations with a PR executive as when the press get a hold of this they will have a field day. I heard our pseudo Prime Minister Bob Brown (Did I say that???) has also caught wind of it.

It looks like you have scaffolded the students really well with your task on the costs of postage in the "Fun with algorithms" task. The SRS gives a great outline and I think I need to go back and have a good hard look at what I did after seeing yours. I think it's good to see the testing table and pseudocode allocated 10 marks each across the journey as hopefully it will force the students to really think about what their program is meant to be doing!

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers

Trav

Hi all.  It is with no little trepidation that I offer the attached sample U3O2. It was adapted from the detailed example in the study design.
I'm very unsure about the use of CD/DFD/UCD in the SRS because it's only a module in a larger system and none of those tools seem useful.

I'd like feedback on the marking scheme - having to divvy up the 60 marks is a big decision.

Feel free to use/adapt/toss this as you see fit.  Feedback is very welcome.

Cheers
Mark
