Hello!
I was doing a 2014 HSC question yesterday, and I was doing this question.
Now the question asks "Write an algorithm to show the order in which the chapter versions are displayed,
based on the reader’s input."
Now i clearly thought the focus was on showing the order, and thats all they wanted, a list containing the path that the user took or something along that lines.
But the marking criteria says you in order to get 4/4 you must:
Provides a substantially correct algorithm that incorporates the following
features:
– A suitable data structure
– A suitable loop
– Output of chapter text
– Output of options
– Input of user choice
– Suitable determination of next chapter based on user choice
The issue with this is, for my response to what i interpreted the quetsion to be asking, i did not output the chapter text or output the the options
Thus i would have gotten a 3/4 which seems unfair given i answered what i thought the quetstion asking?
not sure if im making sense here....
I guess what I'm asking is, am i wrong? or is the marking criteria wrong? ( there's been a few other inconsistencies in the marking criteria so far)
TLDR I disagree with the marking criteria
