1. A Level Computing – A2
Component 2
1f, 1g, 1h, 1i, 1j

2. Learning intentions
Learners will readdress their understanding of the fetch-execute cycle including how data can be read from RAM into registers.
Learners will develop an understanding of assembly language programming
Learners will readdress their understanding of Input and Output methods in contemporary computer systems

3. Assessment outcomes
1f - Describe the fetch-execute cycle, including how data can be read from RAM into registers.
1g - Write simple programs in assembly language and demonstrate how these programs could be executed.
1h - Describe the use of contemporary methods and their associated devices for input and output.
1i - Explain the use of these methods and devices in contemporary computer systems and their suitability in different situations.
1j - Describe and differentiate between voice input for command and control systems to operate a computer system, vocabulary dictation systems for general input and voice print recognition for security. Discuss the suitability of each system in different situations.
