The First 15 minutes

 * The recommended reading time is 15 minutes. Use this time to highlight key parts of the article
 * Colour code it- parts for each criteria
 * Write a plan for criteria C and criteria D
 * The worst thing you can start doing is to start writing immediately when the examiner says the 5 minutes reading time is over.
 * Remember: if you misunderstand the article, your entire answer may be pointless – so read it once and then read it again. (this has been a problem several times during practice papers)

Criteria A 4 Marks
> == ==
 * Remember the issue you choose must be a concern, not a positive issue
 * There may be several issues: choose the strongest, two is probaly enough from a social/ethical issue, then maybe talk about other issues such as money saved, etc
 * Think forward to criteria C: are there lots of impacts for this issue?
 * Think forward to criteria D: is there a feasible solution to the impacts caused by this issue?

Criteria B 6 Marks
= =

Describe step by step, how the IT system works

 * Write in bullet points
 * Avoid "magic steps" where many things happen at once. For examples: "then the bar code is read and the bill is calculated"- this should be broken down into 3 or 4 steps
 * You must go beyond information in the article to score well, using technical language and detail

Explain the relationship between the IT system and the social\ethical concern?

 * This is not asking you to repeat criteria A. It is basically asking how the system caused the issue. Think about the unique characteristics of the IT system. for example: is it making data widely available to many users?. is it collecting behavioral information and making decisions about it. These would cause a privacy concern.

Criteria C 8 Marks

 * you now have two pages for this, so you have lots of space. But don't write for the sake of it!
 * Avoid introductions " Well there are lots of issues, some are positive and some are negative, and they affect different people". Get straight to the point with a clear topic sentence about the first impact.
 * One issue will likely affect more than one stakeholder- make sure you include the relevant stakeholders.
 * Don't forget balance - positive and negative impacts
 * As always analyse and evaluate
 * "The overall effect on the stakeholder is....
 * Do not include solutions here

If the evaluation does not provide any additional information to that in the article, the candidate will be awarded a maximum of [2 marks].

Criteria D 8 Marks

 * Write one solution only. Examiners ignore any others
 * The solution must be feasible (realistic). In the "underage drinkers" example, some of you said " to solve this problem the photographic database should be updated every week". This isn't realistic,and undermines the whole point of the system in the first palce. Watch out for this
 * The solution cannot be stop using the system
 * You must fully describe the solution- what it involves and how it works
 * You must evaluate the solution- addresses it strengths and its weaknesses.

Ex If the evaluation does not provide any additional information to that in the article, the candidate will be awarded a maximum of [2 marks].
