Task 2
Thank you to those of you that emailed me your work from last time. I will read through those and provide you with some feedback. You should have received your marks for task 2 via email.
Part 1: Getting to know each other
Go to the Computer Science Forum here and answer the 7 getting to know you questions in the thread.
Read what others have put and see if you have anything in common with others 6th form computer scientists.
Part 2: Logic Problems
Computer Science involves problem solving. Try out these logic problems!
Part 3: Coding and Translators
Many of you have studied computer science GCSE and will be familiar with translators but it will be useful to have a recap and to introduce them to those new to the subject.
Translators made programming more accessible to more people, they allow us to type in English based code and then translate it into a format the computer will understand (called machine code).
Read the PowerPoint below and then complete these two quizzes underneath it
