[Year 12 SofDev] Limited SAT Scope and criteria

[Robert Hind]

I am not teaching at present BUT on reading through criteria 1 to 3 it seems
to me that the size of the project only comes into criterion 2 where for a
top mark the student
" 

Acquires multiple complex data

sets of different types of data,

qualities and structures from both

primary and secondary data

sources. Uses appropriate

methods to acquire data from

both types of sources."

 

but the quantity of data is not specified.

Hi everybody 

Just wondering how people handled marking criteria 1-3 when the size of SAT
project scopes differed.

How does a limited SAT scope affect student results for criteria 1-3?

If a student has a simple SAT project with limited functions are they able
to score maximum marks for criteria 1-3. What if they get everything right,
it's all perfect, but the project is just limited in size?

Eg. A student has a simple project. It validates data, does a simple
calculation or two, saves data and allow the user to retrieve data. That's
it. They address all criteria perfectly, based on this simple project. All
their diagrams, SRS and design work is perfect but quite basic because of
their limited scope. Where do their results stand compared to a student who
has a more difficult project and makes a couple errors? The student with the
more difficult project has a lot more correct, good quality work than the
student with the simple project.

I've read as much documentation as I can find but cannot see this scenario
mentioned.

Thanks in advance

Anthony Ciappara
