[Year 12 SofDev] CSE Exam

[Vella, James]

My understanding is that bits, bytes, conversions & bandwidth could fall under a few points:

U3O1: Brief overview of the OSI
U402: technical underpinnings of Intranets, the Internet and VPN's
U4O2: characteristics of wired & wireless networks

I was under the impression that the examiners could only ask students to demonstrate knowledge from the Software Development study design and shouldn't presume knowledge from IT U1/2? I could be mistaken though as this is my first year teaching Software...

Just an idea...ps. I haven't seen the question so it's a guess really that these are the points that it was covering...

Subject: Re: [Year 12 SofDev] CSE exam

Hi all, I gave my students the CSE exam for my October practice exam. While I was happy with the overall content of the exam, there were 8 marks worth of questions relating to bits, bytes, conversions and bandwidth.
I know this used to be part of IS, but cannot find this in the new study design.
Can anyone please advise me if I have overlooked part of the new study design.
Thanks
