P. 11
Candidates are to be permitted to proceed to the Examination Session only after the 90 minutes of the
Planning Session are over.
Planning Session
The candidates will be required to prepare an algorithm and a hand written Java program to solve the
problem.
Examination Session
The program handed in at the end of the Planning session shall be returned to the candidates. The candidates
will be required to key-in and execute the Java program on seen and unseen inputs individually on the
Computer and show execution to the Visiting Examiner. A printout of the program listing including output
results should be attached to the answer script containing the algorithm and handwritten program. This
should be returned to the examiner. The program should be sufficiently documented so that the algorithm,
representation and development process is clear from reading the program. Large differences between the
planned program and the printout will result in loss of marks.
Teachers should maintain a record of all the assignments done as part of the practical work through the
year and give it due credit at the time of cumulative evaluation at the end of the year. Students are
expected to do a minimum of twenty-five assignments for the year.
EVALUATION
Marks (out of a total of 30) should be distributed as given below:
Continuous Evaluation
Candidates will be required to submit a work file containing the practical work related to programming
assignments done during the year.
Programming assignments done throughout the year (Internal Evaluation) 10 marks
Programming assignments done throughout the year (Visiting Examiner) 5 marks
Terminal Evaluation
Solution to programming problem on the computer 15 marks
Marks should be given for choice of algorithm and implementation strategy, documentation, correct
output on known inputs mentioned in the question paper, correct output for unknown inputs available
only to the examiner.
NOTE:
Algorithm should be expressed clearly using any standard scheme such as a pseudo code.
EQUIPMENT
There should be enough computers to provide for a teaching schedule where at least three-fourths of the
time available is used for programming.
