6. Computer Science New Program First exams May 2014

7. Joins the Experimental Sciences Changes from Group 5 to Group 4 as an non- elective subject (= can be taken instead of a science) Has to have options Has to participate in the Group 4 project

8. We have options Students (or more likely schools) must select one of following four options to study, in addition to the common program Object Oriented Programming (Java) Web Science Simulation and Modelling Databases

9. Project Common Assessment Criteria for both SL and HL No more mastery aspects Project can focus on one of the four options Project to be submitted digitally

10. Programming Language All students have to study a programming language But it does have to be Java? Yes, if the option is OOP (otherwise no) Algorithmic questions will be written in pseudocode (except for Paper 2 OOP)

11. Case Study It’s radically different Only for HL students Of a specific topic well beyond the depth presently required There will be a new Case Study every year

12. New Assessment Model SLP1 and HLP1 similar to present papers 1 and 2 (except no Case Study questions) SLP2 and HLP2 based on the option chosen HLP3 Case Study

13. Paper 1 – The Core SL + HLHL only Topic 1 – Systems Fundamentals Topic 5– Abstract Data Structures Topic 2 – Computer Organization Topic 6 – Resource Management Topic 3 – NetworksTopic 7 – Control Topic 4 – Computational Thinking

14. Paper 2 – Option Paper SL + HL with additional questions for HL Option ADatabases Option BModeling and Simulation Option CWeb Science Option DOOP

15. Paper 3 – Case Study High Level students only in-depth research topic marked externally

16. Internal Assessment a) Practical project Assessed internally Moderated externally b) Group 4 project Assessed internally Moderated internally
