[Year 12 SofDev] Clarification on SAC1 (Outcome1)

[Darren Scott]

Hey Lorraine, for the SAC we should be giving the data dictionaries, pseudocode, etc. Students are expected to interpret the designs, not create them. If they want to write their own pseudocode or add extra features they can, but it’s not part of the VCAA advised marking: http://www.digipubs.vic.edu.au/vcaa/vce-computing/vce-computing-units-3-and-4-software-dev-unit-3-performance

Hi

Can someone please clarify this for me:
In the Study Design in the Programming Practice description it says - "Students interpret given designs and create working modules using a programming language, undertaking the problem-solving activities of coding, testing and documenting (development stage)".

In the Key Knowledge it says
"methods of representing designs, including data dictionaries, object descriptions, mock-ups and pseudocode"

Should we be giving the students data dictionaries, object descriptions and pseudocode or is it only mock-ups that we give them.

Thanks for your help
