diego1001 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I am doing Computer Studies in IGCSE this year and i liked the course so i decided that i want to do CS. I like programming (though im not very good at it, kinda average). What i didnt like was doing the documentation for the coursework so now what should i chose HL or SL? How much harder is HL and why? Is the coursework much more difficult at HL than at SL? Do you learn more programming at HL or is the theoretical part that changes? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegetaz100 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I advise you to do it at HL because it is cooler and if you are going to study Conputer Science you better study it the best way, and the best way is doing it HL. This might interest you: En ambos cursos vemos los siguiente temas: - Systems life cycle and software development todo lo que es análisis y diseño de sistemas pero a nivel universitario - Program construction in Java & Programm Dossier - programamos en Java desde lo más fundamental hasta estructuras más complejas si hacen HL... si hacen SL se enseñan las estructuras básicas para hacer un sistema simple. Con HL pueden hacer aplicaciones más complejas como simulaciones, etc. - Computing system fundamentals: toda la teoría de la computación, desde la historia, microprocesadores, dispositivos, software, funcionamiento interno y configuración (pero no llegamos a reparar), redes - Case study: analizamos diversos casos que utilizan tecnología para diversos propósitos para ver las implicancias sociales, éticas, y morales En HL además vemos: - Computer mathematics and logic: conversiones y representaciones, aritmética y circuitos lógicos - Abstract data structures and algorithms: vemos objetos, recursivdad, listas, construcción y evaluación de algoritmos - Further system fundamentals: analizamos al detalles el funcionamiento del microprocesado, los dispositivos de almacenamiento, las redes y comunicaciones - File Organization: aprendemos sobre las diversas maneras de organizar archivos.
