Record of Tasks Example from "Richard Mulkman" Example from IB
Criterion A - Planning
Word count goal: 500 max.
*********** For IA first draft etc. HW uploads/IA submissions, use the Internal Assessment page on Haiku. ***********
Don't do any Netbeans coding instruction before Criterion A, so that actual planning gets done before coding.
But.... at least a bit is not a bad idea before Criterion B, to allow envisioning of the approximate overall structure of the porogram, for design purposes.
Criterion B - Solution/Design Overview
Word count goal: 100 max.
Just one thing to keep in mind metioned many places, but it's really, really important, especially for B and C:
Formatting is so, so important for proper communication. Make all of this as visual as you can. Avoid long narratives, and have lots of picutres, screen-shots, bulleted lists, and tables.JSR Note: Remember half-way through P to revisit.
As you do all of this, keep in mind the underlying rationale of Criterion B is to get you to think, then think again, and then think some more, about all the things that your program will do, and problems that will have to be handled, BEFORE you start programming. The more of this you do, the better.
Criterion "P" - Programming
Criterion C - Development
Word count goal: 900 max.
Criterion D - Functionality and Extensibility of Products
Word count goal: 0 max.
Criterion E - Evaluation
Word count goal: 500 max.
