[Year 12 SofDev] Access to resources in U3O2?

[Mark KELLY]

I let them refer to notes during the SAC - in the real world, programmers
would always do this to remind themselves of syntax, etc.
As for referring to their old code, I've found (as you say) that the weaker
students gain little or no advantage from it. You just need to make sure
you don't give them practice tasks that can too easily be converted into
code for the SAC.

Mine have just started U3O2, so we'll see how we go!
