COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science helps learners develop an interest in computing and gain confidence in
computational thinking. The skills learnt in Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science can also be used in other areas of study
and in everyday life.

Study of Computer Science enables students to develop understanding of the main principles of problem solving using
computers. They can apply their understanding to develop computer-based solutions to problems using algorithms and a
high-level programming language.

Learners also develop a range of technical skills, as well as being able to effectively test and evaluate computing
solutions. Learners appreciate current and emerging computing technologies, the benefits of their use and recognise their
potential risks.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES:


The course learning objectives are to enable students to:

● computational thinking skills


● an understanding of the main principles of solving problems using computers
● the skills necessary to solve computer-based problems using a high-level programming language
● an understanding of the component parts of computer systems and how they interrelate
● an understanding of the internet as a means of communication and its associated risks
● an understanding of the development and use of automated and emerging technologies.

ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES:
The assessment objectives (AOs) are:

AO1
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the principles and concepts of computer science.

AO2
Apply knowledge and understanding of the principles and concepts of computer science to a given context,
including the analysis and design of computational or programming problems.

AO3
Provide solutions to problems by:
• evaluating computer systems
• making reasoned judgements
• presenting conclusions.

COURSE EXPECTATIONS:
Expectations from the teacher:

1. Pace & pattern: Expect to move through the year’s content following the cycle schedule.
2. In-class work: Expect to use class time efficiently and productively.
3. Homework: Expect to have daily assignments, supplemented by other worksheets

Expectations from students:

1. Keep up to date with the work. Seek help whenever required.


2. Autonomous learning: To become or continue being a proactive self-motivated learner.
3. There will be learning engagement tasks assigned with all chapters.
4. Tests will be given at the end of each unit or in between also depending on the length of the unit.
5. Class participants are expected to maintain a high level of academic honesty and interaction.

COURSE REQUIREMENT:
1. Practice - Homework and review of content must be done before coming to the class.
2. Notebooks and Note-taking: Use your notebook to copy examples, take notes and key information.
3. Become familiar with the difficulty and style of IGCSE past paper questions.
4. Late / make up assignment policy: 10% will be deducted from the grade of any work submitted after the due
date. Work submitted substantially late will have a percentage deducted in accordance with the period of
delay. If a student is absent, the assignment must be turned in on the first day back to receive full credit. The idea
behind this is that students are responsible to check with their teacher to make up for missed work.
5. Tardiness: Be on time for class. All delays or absences will be noted.
6. Academic honesty: Have in mind that plagiarism will lead to serious consequences. Distinguish between correct
paraphrasing, direct quotation, and citation formats. Any notebooks or homework that looks too similar will also
face serious penalties.
7. Respect: Respect each other’s voice. Listen to each other.
MONTHLY SYLLABUS COVERAGE PLAN:
*** Pacing of the curriculum is subject to changes depending on the pace of students learning and achievement levels during class participation
and formative assessments
