Higher Computing Science will start the final topic of the higher course on Monday – Computer Systems.

This topic looks at how a computer actually works. How data is represented in 1’s & 0’s and how the computer is able to process millions of instructions per second!

Look in the “Files” section of MSTeams in the “Systems” folder and you’ll get access to the theory notes for the topic, the past paper homework booklet and the pre-recorded lessons for the unit.

As with the previous unit, you will be given a weekly assignment to complete past paper questions from the homework booklet. These questions will be based on pages in the theory notes. Each section in the theory notes will have recorded lessons explaining the theory covered in the notes.

Remember you can get help at any time by contacting your class teach via MSTeams, by emailing them directly and/or by joining the weekly tutorial session which has it’s new time of Thursdays at 11:00 – 12:00.

A new exciting topic is starting on Monday for S3 business students – External & Internal Influences on Business!!!

Make sure you’re tuned into MSTeams to get instructions on the assignments to be completed.

Remember if you’re having any difficulties at all you can contact your class teacher using the class channels in MSTeams, email them directly or attend the weekly tutorials.

Complete questions on pages 42 – 44.

This will finish the current topic. Please revise the entire unit and come forward with any issues you have with any of the content and/or past paper questions.

Look through all the recorded lessons to help with your studies. They are numbered and named to tie in with the theory booklet to help your studies. If you have any issues at all then contact your teacher at any time using the class channel on MSTeams or via email. You can ask questions at the weekly tutorial also.
