After a quick scan : The theory looks predictable enough - just a slightly dumbed down version of AS. The programming element looks straightforward enough, if perhaps a little old-fashioned - but it's hard to see how you could get round the rather basic nature of the tasks required. I'd be worried about the other assessment - it looks very heavy on the process of creating the report rather than the actual understanding. The specimen topic - the use of peripheral devices in your institution - is hardly stimulating. The controlled nature of the assessments could be a nightmare in terms of getting good quality work from the students, but it will be *much* easier for us. Indeed it looks as though we'd be redundant for large chunks of time... I had to chuckle at the instruction for controlled work : if the work is to be completed in more than one session, it should be collected in between the sessions. Hey, it's 1974, and they're all writing with a pen! Seriously, how you stop them working beyond the sessions I don't know. Not without running 12 hour long exams, anyway. It's nice to have this an an option, though!
