[Year 12 SofDev] Language options 2016

[Travis Parker]

Hi All,

I have a quick query that's never come up in the past few years - I generally teach VB (Yes, I'm a basic programmer!) and I have a student who loves using C#. I have asked him to make both the VB programs in class that we are making as a class and then recreate the same functionality using C#, which he has been doing at home and bringing to me.

My question is are you allowed to still grade (And more importantly, rank) students using different programming languages within the same cohort? As they need to find a solution to their identified need or opportunity in the SAT I'm assuming they may be able to use any language they please? Or will this give some an unfair advantage/disadvantage?

What are people's thoughts (Or the rules even!) governing the use of multiple languages within the one group. Possible or not?


Thanking you in advance for your valued input,

Trav
