This course covers the following topics: programming in Python (using PyCharm, OOP and range of pip installed features): Paper one covers the characteristics of contemporary processors, input, output and storage devices ; Software and software development; Exchanging data; Data types, data structures and algorithms; Legal, moral, cultural and ethical issues. Paper two covers elements of computational thinking; Problem solving and programming; Algorithms to solve problems and standard algorithms. There is a Non-exam assessment which accounts for 20% of your overall marks and generally starts in the summer term of year 12 - the Programming Project. The learner will choose a computing problem to work through according to the guidance in the specification which is based on analysis of the problem, design of the solution, developing the solution and evaluation A more detailed breakdown of the specification can be found by visiting www.ocr.org.uk and searching for Advanced level Computer Science (code H046)
A GCSE Grade 6 in Computer Science. If this subject has not been studied at GCSE level, a GCSE in Maths Grade 6 is required.
The final assessment takes place in the second year of the course. The course is taught as a two-year Advanced level course. Advanced level assessment: • A Paper 1 (40% of the total A level marks) On Screen examination 2 hour 30 minutes • A Paper 2 (40% of the total A level marks) Written examination 2 hour 30 minutes • Non exam assessment (20% of the total A level marks) Practical Coursework chosen by you.
