[Year 12 SofDev] Assessment of SD requirements

Hi David

I tell my students:
The complexity of the SAT solution should include:
Data entry, deletion, editing, storage, retrieval, validation, security, searching and sorting

To satisfy the SAT criteria 5 requirement
"Documents the efficient use of a complex algorithm in the solution. "  I expect my students to code and have internal documentation on a QuickSort

I then set a series of tasks for U3O1 that cover  "Data entry, deletion, editing, storage, retrieval, validation" in preparation for the SAT.

This is not mandated in the course design but is my way of covering the requirements.

Kind regards

Hi,
I wonder if I can ask your opinion again.

Within the Software Development Programming requirements it lists a number of requirements relating to choosing the programming language. For example: design, construct and use external storage and access technologies.

It also says: "For assessment purposes, students must be familiar with all of the listed programming requirements; however, not all requirements must be addressed in each task."

Obviously the students must know about the requirements laid out in that requirements document for the exam but are these requirments necessarily assessed in u3o1 and the SAT? Unless I have missed it I don't see the statement "The student meets the SD programming requirements" in the Performance Criteria.  Is this just implicitly embedded in 5.1 "The student Correctly selects and skillfully applies an extensive range of relevant processing features of the language to develop a correct solution."

Hope you can help,
David.
