Computer Science Network Meeting – Thursday February 27th 2020

ATAR Computer Science 2020 – Results, Marking and Assessments.

At this meeting there will be a round table discussion of how we teach, assess and mark ATAR Computer Science.

We aim to review 2019 ATAR Computer Science results, share sample assessment tasks, network and plan future meetings

Marufa Meher will share Assessment requirements for 2020. Please bring along one or two samples (year 11 or 12) assessment tasks that you can share with others. Going forward, we are looking to run an assessment writing session for teachers, with the topics to be negotiated at this meeting
