problems, including how research more appropriate for the

terms
Week 2 • explore the features and Explain and research briefly about : The
09/10/23- characteristics of programming uses and applications of different types of
15/10/23 languages, to explain the use high and low-level programming languages,
of different types of developed to assist in the solution of
programming language, what
particular problems, such as: o procedural,
particular problems each

solve, giving a comparison of driven, e.g., Visual Basic® o machine, e.g.,
those programming languages. Assembler o mark-up, e.g., HTML.
Week 3 • describe the constructs and Explain and research briefly about :
16/10/23- techniques available in • Programming languages, constructs and
22/10/23 different programming techniques, including: o command words o
languages, explain how they constants and variables, local and global
are implemented and
variables o data types – character, string,
documented, contrasting their
implementation in different
integer, real, Boolean o statements –
programming languages. assignment, input and output, sequence,
• explain the uses of software iteration, selection o logical operations
applications and how they can
solve problems and meet the
needs of clients.
Week 4 • analyse the application of logic Principles, including: • iteration – repetition
23/10/23- to program design, considering of a computational procedure applied to
29/10/23 principles of mathematical and the result of a previous application •
propositional logic, the use of mathematical logic – inference, consistency,
sets and iteration.
completeness, verification by truth tables •
propositional dynamic logic to demonstrate
the function of algorithms • use of sets, e.g.
properties and interrelationships of sets of
data, search/filter sets of data
Week 5 • evaluate how design and Research about quality of software
30/10/23- implementation of a software applications:
5/11/23 application can affect its How the design and implementation of a
quality. software application affects quality,
including: • efficiency/performance, e.g.
the system resources consumed by the
program, CPU cycles, processor time,
memory space, accessing storage media
