[Year 12 SofDev] Running Unit 1 & 2 Computing and Software Development Concurrently

[Mark]

Hi, Scott. While there are several similar key knowledge (KK) dotpoints
between Info and SD, you need to consider the differences between the
beasts and judge how much wizardry and effort will be needed to cover each
course properly in a combined class.

I have compiled and attached a spreadsheet comparison of the KK  for Info
and SD to maybe help you appreciate the similarities and differences
between the two studies.*

There are similarities between about *half* of the SD and Info KK dotpoints.

All I can say is - Good Luck.   I would not want to be doing it.

But if all you have is a choice between a single Info/SD class and no VCE
IT class at all...
I'd *go for it* and hope that next year's course-choosing cohort will hear
the good news.

Regards,
Mark
