Been eagerly waiting for a final content table with courses now actually underway.

An eagle eyed colleague has noticed this documents last 4 pages have changed.

Is this it?

minor change to page 14 of course support notes for Nat 5 – removed “iteration using fixed and conditional loops” from NAT 5 level, still in at NAT 4 level

Didn’t notice this at all. I think the changes are all in this document:

I accessed it from this page:

I have uploaded a document comparing old and new assessment details for both N4 and N5 Computing Science: http://www.compednet.com/?get_group_doc=41/1371143660-N4N5CourseAssessmentSpecificationUpdates2013-06.docx

There are some fairly substantial changes – annoying for those of us who started teaching the course a year ago, and very annoying for any of you have already ordered text books that are already out of date!

It should be noted that the SQA normally announce publications at the end of the printed month – so we shouldn’t even be getting these updates until we are on holiday!

Thanks a million for document with changes. Just starting the course and writing materials so notification of changes very helpful. Fear we will see more of this during the next year and sympathise with those of you who have already started for extra workload it causes. JS

I’m having trouble opening the file (stupid network that we have) someone couldn’t PDF it and upload it here please.

Many thanks

Yes, my school network doesn’t allow me to open up files in this format either – can this be changed if possible, please?
