[Year 12 SofDev] SD 2011 Post Mortem - Section A is done

[Pang, Juliana C]

I agree with Heath too. As a member of the iPhone-permanently-stuck-to-my-left-hand gen-Y group, I have no issues scrolling 200 countries on my electronic touch device =) See the app underneath (www.xe.com app), you can scroll the alphabetical list on the right hand side to scroll faster. A map would require a lot of zooming in (hence not as efficient) with the smaller countries which are clustered together.

Anyway it's not the best question if it can be open for debate like this.
Interesting to see what the official answer on the examiner's report will be.

Great as always Mark,

I still have my money on scrollable list for question 20, because you don't need to know where the country is located (which I guess would be one of the facts). Given the question info mentions 200 countries may indicate they want you to think a scrollable list will be too long. However, my iPod song list suggests 200 is catered for easily in a list. We will have to wait and see.

I'm still thinking about what the main purposes of including the different languages in the question is. Is it just to help you decide not to do C or D or is there more to it? Would you have a different answer if they left this info out?

Heath

A few interesting questions.

I'm starting on Section B - and looking forward to that ridiculous B5 question with the big clown nose.  It's monumentally absurd!
