I'm currently studying this piece-of-shit course, and to be honest it comes as no surprise. The spec is brand new, my year is the first to actually use it. The resources are poor, the content meaningless, and the exams are stupidly easy, but with ridiculous mark schemes which seem to be answering different questions to what was actually in the paper.
This is all down to the Chief Examiner, someone who my tutor has spent the last year fighting. She has no experience in "real-world" CompSci, she has just taught IT at schools for however many years. This means that the course just seems to be bolted together, a confusing, and outdated, mix of IT and CompSci. One minute youre learning about the differences between Floppies and Zip Drives, the next you're learning how to traverse trees with her own overprice proprietary software.
Maybe I just hate this course too much, having endured a year and a half of it, but it seems that it simply could not get much worse.
