Programming Techniques (36 Marks)

Lesson Objectives

 - document the Programming Techniques used 
 - understand how the techniques were used together to create a functioning program

Starter

Programming Techniques Matching Task

Main

Red Task
Take a look at the Mark Scheme for Programming Techniques

See the FULL MARK SCHEME HERE

Amber Task
Set up a Word document to include the following:

     1. A 'Table of Programming Techniques'  to list ALL functions, methods, lists and variables used in your program.

     2. List the techniques used in column ONE. In column TWO explain where and why each technique was used in your program - see below.

Green Task
Add a section  'Data Structures'  to list and explain all the variables you have set up and their purpose. What data do they hold and why were they needed?

Add a section  'Justification of Techniques Used' to go through in more detail WHY you have used the techniques you have.

Add a section  'Robustness & Efficiency' to go through how you have ensured the program works in ALL circumstances. Eg what happens if the user types a number instead of a letter.


REMEMBER: you gain marks for ANY tasks you manage to complete.

PLEASE don't worry if you don't manage to complete them all. You will STILL get marks.

Plenary

With your Python Buddy review your work again using the Mark Scheme above.
