AQA Computer Science | NEA - 03/30/17
Checklist for the project document of the Non Exam Asssessment
-
Analysis [9]
-
Methods and sources
-
Identifying a third party [End User]
-
Further research
-
Prototyping and critical path
-
Clear description of the problem
-
Outline on how to problem was researched
-
Statement indicating who the problem is being solved, and background info on them
-
List of objectives [WELL DEFINED AND APPROPRIATE]
-
Modelling (Diagrams) of the problem
-
Current System (if appropriate)
-
Design [12]
-
Sequencing [Logic solutions before coding them]
-
structure / hierarchy chart | a system flowchart | data flow diagram | non-standard diagrams
-
Document how important elements of your solution work
-
Algorithms | Data structures | File structure and organisation | Database design | Queries | HCI | Hardware selection/design
-
The documented design should include evidence of the data structures and algorithms the student intended to use
-
Implementation [42] (Completeness of solution [15], Techniques used [27])
-
Achieve All or Almost All of the objectives
-
Objectives are reasonable and not unjustifiably easy
-
Testing [8]
-
Comments should be included in the program code to highlight where techniques have been used
-
Notes pointing out paticualr techniques used
-
Tests show that purpose has been fufilled [Doesn't have to be on the final version]
-
Evidence showing that the system works must be presented
-
Each test described and explained [its purpose if not self-evident | the test data used | the expected test outcome | the actual outcome]
-
Evaluation [4]
-
Explanation of how well the objectives have been met and how this was achieved
-
Discuss how the solution can be improved
-
Analysis of feedback from the third party who was involved at the analysis stage
