Dear lecturers,
Question 1:
Is there a mistake on prescribed book Schach, p126, FIGURE 6.24? The content of the square box located at the left bottom:
------- Relationships in Figure 6.41
_____ Relationships in Figure 6.14
Rather be:
-------- Relationship in Figure 6.14
______ Relationships in Figure 6.41
Question 2:
Schach, p141, FIGURE7.22
There is a line between the : Estimate Funds for Week Class and the : MSG Application Class . The down point arrow on the left side of the line with message 6 and 13 and the up point arrow on the right side of the line with message 5 and 10.
To me these two arrows should change places, for message 5 and 10 should point down to the : MSG Application Class , and message 6 and 13 should go up to the : MSG Application Class .. Does the direction of the arrow with the message next to it matter or doesn't matter to the Diagram at all?
Question 3:
Regarding to the format of exam paper:
Question 2 is a 10 mark fill- in-the-missing-words question mainly asking about the theory.
I just don't understand what is the advantage to ask above type of questions. What are we emphasis on this module? Is how much you understand the concept or how much you memorize the concept? Knowing the name "object-oriented" doesn't mean understand object-oriented concepts. Doesn't know how to spell pseudoalgorithm, doesn't mean you cannot apply the pseudoalgorithm.
Both multiple choice and paragraph-type questions can serve the purpose better to test how much the student understands the concept!
I know it's too late to change the exam paper now, what I really try to say is that it's the time to reassess the methods used to check what the student gains from the module.
Thank you,
