IB Computer Science Year 1 Higher Level - November 29 2017 Lesson Notes

What are we going to learn today? When you leave the classroom, you should be able to say: I have had a chance to review the test on system fundamentals I have reasoned through a question on last year IB computer science test I can describe the characteristics of a two- dimensional array I can construct algorithms using two- dimensional arrays Helpful link Arrays	What is our home learning? STUDY!!! In the past the most successful exam results were the result of 3 to 4 hours of sustained study.
How am I being assessed today? I will assess you formatively today, and make a professional judgement to what extent you understand our learning material. I will use observation, your written work, answers to questions, and contribution to class discussions as data to make my decisions. I normally record my observations in a "evidence of learning" spreadsheet, which I will happily share with you privately if you so wish. I usually need a day or two notice. I will also ask you to complete a self-assessment which I will use to help me guage how well you think you understand our material in class.
As a computer scientist, you have: Confidence in dealing with complexity Persistence in working with difficult problems Tolerance for ambiguity The ability to deal with open-ended problems The ability to communicate and work with others to achieve a common goal or solution
