OCR GCSE Computer Science Paper 1 (J277/01) - 19th May 2023 [Exam Chat]

my teacher said he expects something relating to AI to come up to test us on current affairs relating to technology, maybe could be the 8 marker?

AI came up last year don't think its likely, it could be drones or something like 3d printing.

drones is definitely a possibility but idk what id write for that 😭😭

They could be used for things like terrorist attacks and to look at confidential places or to spy on people(privacy), they could also be used by people who work in remote places, data collected must adhere to data protection act, design shouldnt infringe on copyright act(legal) It may be made cheaply so likely to break - leading to e-waste in landfill and seeps into soil, the battery needed for the drone - made of lithium- mining damages environment etc(environmental). people could be bullied as they dont have the newest tech, debt for parents wanting to afford it for child (ethical/cultural). All I could think of atm

THANK YOU SO MUCH thats so helpful

If you want to practice how to approach 8 marker just go on any news website and go to the tech tab and find what u could possibly say if it were an exam q

thank you i have an awful teacher and ive never written an 8 marker or even done a full exam paper because he never taught us all the content 🙄 ive learnt it all myself now but i do not know how to structure an 8 marker

It’s pretty much an evaluation question. You give as many points for and against and the issues (ethical, legal, cultural, environmental) they affect and in the end say “overall I believe using/not using thing is better as it has less downsides”. Pretty much give points for and against and conclude why using it or not using it is better. Wish you the best with all your exams

What makes u think this? And do you revise from the cgp book?

Hi can anyone tell me what should we include in an 8 mark question?
and also are there any good websites you could use to get a 9
I got a 7 in paper 1 last time but I am aiming for a 8 or 9 in paper 1 since im rubbish in programming

for an 8 marker include as many points for and against about legal, ethical, cultural, environmental and ethical issues as you can. Then state at the end whether it is better to use/not use whatever the question asked. Its pretty much an evaluation question
websites:csnewbs, isaac computer science (very in depth)
ytchannels: craig and dave, Mr brown cs, revise computer science
