j276 unit 02
Computational Thinking, algorithms & programing

This component incorporates and builds on the knowledge and understanding gained in Component 01, encouraging learners to apply this knowledge and understanding using computational thinking.

Learners will be introduced to algorithms and programming, learning about programming techniques, how to produce robust programs, computational logic, translators and facilities of computing languages and data representation.

​Learners will become familiar with computing related mathematics. It is expected that learners will draw on this underpinning content when completing the Programming Project component (03 or 04).

This Unit is assessed by a 1 hour and 30 minute examination which is worth 40% of your final grade
