We will explore the importance and scope of modern computing as it reaches into all aspects of our lives and careers. Looking at topics such as; how a self driving car works, how to develop something as complex as a new computer game, how the internet works to enable our transactions and communications. You will develop valuable skills in problem solving by taking Computer Science, an area of the economy which has huge potential for careers and earning. What will you study in Year 12? Computer systems • The characteristics of contemporary processors, input, output and storage devices • Software and software development • Exchanging data • Data types, data structures and algorithms • Legal, moral, cultural and ethical issues Algorithms and programming • Elements of computational thinking • Problem solving and programming • Algorithms • Artificial Intelligence Programming project • Analysis of the problem • Design of the solution • Developing the solution What will you study in Year 13? Programming project • Developing the solution • Evaluation Algorithms and programming • Measures and methods to determine the efficiency of different algorithms • Algorithms for the main data structures • Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm, A* algorithm • Thinking concurrently Computer systems • De Morgan’s Laws • Linked-list, graph (directed and undirected), stack, queue, tree, binary search tree, hash table. • Floating point arithmetic, positive and negative numbers, addition and subtraction • Bitwise manipulation and masks
Grade 6 GCSE Mathematics
In school assessments You will complete activities based on the units of work that we are studying to show your understanding. You will also write code to solve problems and debug code with errors to show mastery of the Python language, Object Oriented programming and the Pygame module. External assessments There are three modules assessed in May/June of the Year 13. • Computer Systems (01): Covering the fundamental computing knowledge required to support all subsequent units of study. (40%) • Algorithms and Programming (02): Computational Thinking, Programming Techniques and Logical Methods. (40%) • Programming Project (03): A substantial user-driven project, requiring analysis and design, which is developed over an extended period of time. (20%)
