LEARNING OUTCOMES
The Student Will
| | | | A | 1 | Identify the elements of logical structures and document them |
|
A | 2 | Code a program from a given design (eg structure diagram or pseudocode) |
CONTENT
| | | > | Given processes of varying complexity, identify separate steps, sequencing of steps, decision processes and repetitive processes. |
|
> | Represent the logical structures identified above, using tools such as: |
|
| Structure diagrams |
| Pseudocode |
|
> | Identify likely inputs and expected outputs from the logical structure using structured walkthroughs or deskchecking
| top
| | | > | Create a program from a solution (e.g. structure diagram) that incorporates the following: |
|
| Keyboard input and screen output |
| Variables and Expressions |
| Sequence of steps |
| Simple decisions |
| Simple repetitions (not nested) |
| Meaningful documentation
