Higher Computing, SQA course code ''C206 12'', is a qualification taught in Scottish secondary schools, usually in the fifth or sixth year of study (S5/S6). Candidates usually progress into Higher Computing with a pass at either Intermediate 2 or Standard Grade (credit). The course consists of three units: two mandatory units and one optional unit selected by the centre. The required units are Computer Systems ''(DF2X 12)'' and Software Development ''(DF2Y 12)'' and the optional units are Computer Networking ''(DF30 12)'', Artificial Intelligence ''(DF31 12)'' and Multimedia Technology ''(DF32 12)''.〔''SQA: Arrangements for Computing (Higher)'', page 2〕 ==Assessment== Candidates are assessed on both practical and theory work. In October, the SQA issues a coursework task to centres which candidates will attempt between November and March. The task is split into two parts: 1.A programming task and 2.An investigation related to hardware and software studied in the Computer Systems unit. As with most SQA qualifications, candidates sit for a written exam in May/June. This is split into three sections. Section I is worth 30 marks and contains short response questions, while section II involves more in-depth answers and is worth a total of 60 marks. Section III is split into three parts, each of which corresponding to an optional unit. The candidate answers questions on only the unit they have studied in section III. 50 marks are available for section III. Therefore, candidates can receive up to 200 marks. The grade is then worked out as follows: Note: In some years the criteria for these grades may change to reflect the difficulty of the exam. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Higher Computing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
