Comp 3

Students are expected to apply the principles of computational thinking to a practical coding programming project. They will analyse, design, develop, test, evaluate and document a program written in a suitable programming language. The project is designed to be independently chosen by the student and provides them with the flexibility to investigate projects within the diverse field of computer science.

The project is marked out of 70 and contributes to 20% of the overall A-level. It is broken down into 5 major sections, these include:

• Part 1 - Analysis of the problem (10 marks)

• Part 2 - Design of the solution (15 marks)

• Part 3 - Developing the solution (15 marks)

• Part 4 - Testing the solution (10 marks)

• Part 5 - Evaluation (20 marks)
