I have attached a new N4 assessment for SDD Outcome 1 that has been prior verified and is valid to use. This has 6 multiple choice questions that cover the whole outcome.
These are the new files for the assessment. I've been told there is some delay to them being available on the SQA site so posted here for CompEdNet users.
This booklet was written for the National 4/5 courses but with little editing could be used as part of any programming course for beginners. The booklet is a mixture of theory and activities.
It covers the following topics
•What is a program? (including HLLs and machine code)
•Design Methodologies
•Programming Construct Definitions
•Program Constucts exemplified in Haggis Pseudocode (with several tasks to teach pupils design & pseudocode at the same time)
•Readability
•Types of Errors
•Interpreters vs Compilers
