Welcome to Computing Science<\/p>\n

Here I have laid out how the Computing courses work when we are in school, along with rough timelines.<\/p>\n

Each unit has teaching resources available from the MSTeams class.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The S3\/4 course is split into 4 main units:-<\/p>\n

In the MSTeams classes you will find resources that you can work through at your own pace. Don\u2019t worry about the timeline above, have a look at the units which interest you and have a go at the tasks. Some tasks require software on your computer. If you cannot install the software on your computer, don\u2019t worry about it. You can still look though the booklets to give you an idea of what you\u2019ll be asked to do in the class.<\/p>\n

Through either MSTeams and the SQA web site pupils have access to the following resources to help them study:<\/p>\n
