OCR 9-1 Computer Science NEA question...

if we are given 3 tasks to complete do we need to analyse, design, develop and test all of them?

Hello, I am also doing OCR Computing, I thought the NEA was just one task and then we have to do a write up? Our teacher hasn't told us the task yet, do you know what it is?

On the old spec, you would have completed one task, which was split into three parts. You would have to analyse, design, develop and test each of them separately, yes. Not sure how the new spec is different though.

There are various different tasks that your teacher can give you.

No I don't. i was just looking at some previous ocr NEA tasks, and the majority seemed to have 3 tasks. It is a new spec though so i don't know?

One piece of coursework (A453), with three tasks. Your wording was a little off.

OP: If you're given one piece of coursework in the old spec you were expected to " analyse, design, develop and test" each task in the piece of coursework. I'm sure the same still applies for the new spec.

No need to be so picky.

Then be accurate with the information you're providing. The way you worded it implied something completely different. I'd rather be "picky" then have somebody receive inaccurate information, so please be a bit more considerate next time before you start talking rubbish.

Thanks.
