Purpose

Students are able to create a computer program.

Achievement Criteria

Achievement: Create a computer program. 

This involves:

• using a suitable programming language to construct a program that performs a specified task

• testing and debugging the program to ensure it works on expected cases

• documenting the program with comments.

Merit: Create a well-structured computer program

This also involves:

• using succinct and descriptive variable names

• documenting the program with comments that clarify the purpose of code sections

• testing and debugging the program to ensure it works on expected and boundary cases.

Excellence: Create a flexible and robust computer program

This also involves:

• using conditions and control structures effectively

• using constants, variables, or derived values in place of literals to make the program flexible

• testing and debugging the program to ensure it works on expected, boundary, and invalid cases.

Self checking and assessment

You'll find a checklist on each page to help check you're meeting these requirements.

You'll find the Assessment Task and marking Schedule here once the assessment begins. I will share your own one via Google Classroom to use for self assessment.

I encourage you to seek peer review, testing, and feedback
