IB Computer Science Year 2 - October 16 2018 Lesson Notes

What are we going to learn today? Hello Seniors, we will debrief excel (Please download this file: by clicking on this link (file should download immediately, check your download folder)) we will ensure everyone understands sumif() we will ensure everyone understands if() https://exceljet.net/excel-functions/excel-if-function (keep in mind they use comma as a separator, we use a semicolon) https://support.office.com/en-us/article/sumif-function-169b8c99-c05c-4483-a712-1697a653039b (keep in mind they use comma as a separator, we use a semicolon) Today in class (and for homework) you will develop a model (using excel) which predicts life expectancy. I expect to see "an abstract mathematic representation" of life expectancy. A user will enter in relevant information into your spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet should ballpark about when they could expect to die. It is a bit morbid topic, but it can also help you reflect on your choices. Please use this link as a source of information for factors which might influence life expectancy.

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 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
