Ideas About SDD (1 Viewer)

[AZIDA]

I selected Software Design and Development for next year, but I'm really nervous about my choice cos lotta people say that it's really hard.
I am aware that it would be hard but....
What basic skills are actually needed to do SDD?
What's the actual difference between IPT and SDD.
Does doing IPT bring your UAI down?
Are the SDD and IPT teachers at North Sydney Boys alrite?

When i did it SDD was more theoretical and programming algorithms based. IPT is more physical and networking etc. They overlap at sections, but SDD goes into much more detail when it comes to the software development cycle. Basic Skills - nothing really. I went in there with no programming experience whatsoever and got a pretty good mark. Although i struggled with some of the assessments, the assessments are based on the 'ideas' behind programming, not necesarily being able to get the program to work. RE: scaling - see comments @ http://community.boredofstudies.org/736/general-discussion-2008-hsc/163859/hsc-subject-scaling.html . Can't answer any of your other questions sorry.
