Hi, looking for clarification on a couple of points.
Step 6. Pupils are asked to describe how each algorithm works using internal commentary.
Step 8. Find number of A passes.
Do they need to test the other three algorithms or is the internal commentary sufficient?
This is a long assessment and I’m anxious to move onto next unit so hoping comments enough.

They only have to comment on the algorithms for Step 6 and don’t need to call them to run. It is a bit strange but that step is included to cover the outcome 1 theory parts.

I don’t even get them to comment on the code for step 8 as they have just explained a Counting Occurrences in step 6 or do testing as that evidence comes from first version of the program.

I just check work against Judging Evidence tables – no point them repeating same evidence again.
