Afternoon everyone
Quick response to a few of the issues discussed in this thread.

Craig is correct, you shouldn’t be discussing the assignments on public forums. CEN does check members when they apply but note that there are around 550 CS teachers in Scotland and 1400 members on CEN.

Please get in touch if you wish to raise something from…Read More

Ruth, Ah yes I see what you mean (the issue may not even come up if someone programs their ‘findMaxPos’ to account for this possibility).

A search could be added to the refinements, that uses the maximum salary to display all company names with that salary.

Alan, I had spotted that, but then the problem is in the subprogram – Not the refinements.

As to the legality of talking about this, can I point out the there are questions on this forum regularly about active assignments? See WDD in the N5 forum.

Thanks, Joe – that was my understanding too.

Rightly or wrongly – we need to discuss potential issues with the SQA assessments as year after year there are issues found. Clearly the vetting process over at SQA isn’t as strong as it should be – this could mean the difference of some students getting into University or missing their 1st choice because the assignment for Comp Sci was poorly…Read More

Not too sure – I was advised by my Line Manger recently that it shouldn’t be discussed as officially we aren’t meant to even look at the task before delivering it. Not sure the official line from the SQA though.

I didn’t think that was an issue here as everyone was checked when they registered to confirm that they were a teacher. Or at least it used to be like that

Hey Ruth,

It is my understanding we can’t discuss aspects of a live assessment in a public forum – have you tried reaching out to the SQA?

Hi Ruth,

As far as I can see it would be due to the test data having two equal highest salaries, but would only output the name of one company.

Hi,

I’ve gone over the assignment and have found question 1d very confusing. Question asks for reasons the output would be inaccurate with the test data given and points to refinements. The question points out a specific input that would return an incorrect result – I think this is misleading as I can’t see how that input would be a problem.

Thanks Janet. I have just downloaded it. It is better, I agree. It still says ‘all text’ though which could either be interpreted as including or excluding the heading. I might seek clarification from them (but not until tomorrow at least!).

SQA have just updated the task. I still think there are some things that are not 100% clear, but it is better. You can get the updated version (1.1) from the secure site.

Hi Lauren. I very agree with you (I logged in to see if there was any discussion about this). Part 3e is very unclear. ‘All text’ would include headings, as well as list item text! I don’t think it is written well at all. Furthermore, I have just looked up the latest specification document and it makes no mention of span (or anything else that…Read More

Does anyone else find that the web part of the assignment seems to contradict itself a lot? Just one example – asking for specific font sizes and then changing the requirement all in the same question.

There also seems to be a part in it that cant be done without going outwith the course specifications? (Last part of 3e). Please correct me if I…Read More

I’ll do a Google Meet. Can’t stand using Teams! Let me know when’s good for you.
There’s no natural integration with Google Classroom, but Trinket allows you to set deadlines internally. I normally just set an assignment in Classroom and tell them where they need to get up to in Trinket by that date.
