Internal Assessment #

The IA task requires the student to identify a problem of their own choosing and develop a software solution for it, using the computational thinking process.

The solution is assessed using five criteria.

• Criterion A: Problem specification
• Criterion B: Planning
• Criterion C: System overview
• Criterion D: Development
• Criterion E: Evaluation

A good rule of thumb is asking yourself the question, “Am I 80% confident I can build it?”. If you are over 80%, it is too easy. If you are less than 40% it is too difficult given the timeframe. It should be a reasonable stretch given the content of the course.
