IBCS2 Summer Assignment
From WLCS
Internal Assessment
Objective:
- The summer assignment is to work on your IB Computer Science Internal Assessment
- Complete Criterion B - there are 2 major parts! (Record of Tasks AND Design documents)
- Research and develop your actual IA code
Criterion B Directions:
- Download and extract: Media:IBCS_IA_Forms.zip
- Open and complete Documentation->Crit_B_Record_of_Tasks (you may use either the ODT or RTF files)
- You should break up your project into at least 15 smaller tasks
- You should include completion of each of the IA Criteria (A-E) as tasks
- You may use the Example IAs to help you
- Open and complete Crit_B_Design (or create your own as long as you bold and center the title: Criterion B: Design)
- Create 3-5 labeled sketches (hand-drawn or computer-aided) of your program and what it will look like
- Create a flowchart of how your program will be used and works
- Use Google Drawings or an alternative
- Use the standard flowchart symbols Media:Flowcharts.ppt
- Go through the Example IAs for ideas
- Create a table comprised of 2 columns: Functions and Descriptions
- Functions will list the function headers of all your functions (return type, name, and input parameters)
- Descriptions will describe what exactly each of the functions will do
- Create any other additional diagrams or outlines that will help you design your project
Research:
- You should research the tools/software you'll need to install to work at home
- You should complete tutorials to further learn the programming language and tools that you will be using for your project
- SAVE all your tutorials' artifacts! At the beginning of next school year, you should be able to demonstrate at least 3 different artifacts from the tutorials
Development:
- After or while completing the tutorials, you should begin developing your actual IA project
- You should try to make significant progress on your project by the end of the summer (>= 50% done)
Deliverables:
- Criterion B: Record of Tasks
- Criterion B: Design documents (sketches, flowchart, table, and any other diagrams)
- At least 3 tutorial artifacts (these could also be components of your actual IA code)
- >=50% of your IA project done
Notes:
- If you run into any problems, feel free to e-mail Mr. Bui
- You can always change your project if you want. Please e-mail Mr. Bui if you are changing your project
