got a teacher with no knowledge of software design development. (1 Viewer)

[Jack Doff]

Unfortunately, our class of Year 12 Software DD class was provided with a teacher with no knowledge or understanding about Computers. (is this even legal?)

Would anyone know any good websites, youtube channels or books to provide me with detailed notes/tutorials to help me carry through this subject?

Any other tips or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

OP I would recommend you to purchase the Software Design & Development HSC Resources by HSC in the Holidays for $20 here: https://hscintheholidays.com.au/resource/software-design-development-hsc-resources/ and purchase the Software Design and Development - The HSC Course (Second Edition) textbook by Samuel Davis for $68.95 but you have to summarise as Samuel Davis goes in depth for each syllabus dot points and maybe the Software Design and Development - The HSC Course Teacher Resource Kit (Second Edition) by Samuel Davis and Janine Fendall for $149.95 since your teacher have no knowledge of Software Design & Development from Parramatta Education Center here: http://www.pedc.com.au/sdd.php and call this number: 02 4632 7987 in order for you to purchase the textbook and maybe the teacher resource kit.

Also I would recommend you to read though the materials that I recommend you to purchase along with the Software Design & Development HSC Syllubus which you can find here: https://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/software-design-development-st6-syll-from2011-tracked.pdf and also make summaries and notes regarding each syllubus dot points and try and do past HSC papers and read the marking guidelines and ask another teacher in the Design and Technology Department at your school who knows HSC Software Design & Development to mark the past HSC papers you have done for Software Design & Development and ask him/her for advice on how to achieve Band 6 and here is where you can find past HSC Papers for Software Design & Development: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/2016/exams/2016-hsc-sdd.pdf, http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/2015/, http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/2014/, http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/2013/, http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/hsc2012exams/, http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/hsc2011exams/#s, http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/hsc2010exams/#s

Don't forget the course specifications as well
https://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu..../software-design-development-course-specs.pdf

It covers about a quarter/half of the syllabus. If you do option 2, most of the content for it is in there.
