A propos de cet article

Our new A Level textbook is written in the straightforward, easy-to-grasp style for which Pat Heathcote and Rob Heathcote are well-known. Each chapter in the book corresponds to roughly one lesson, and contains questions and exercises which can be done in class, as well as questions at the end of each chapter which can be set as homework. Answers to all questions are provided in downloadable pdf format available free to teachers from the PG Online website. This book is divided into twelve sections comprising 72 chapters, which together provide complete coverage of the new AS and A Level course. Two short appendices contain A Level content that could be taught in the first year of the course as an extension to related AS topics. The specification is written in such a way that AS and A Level students can be taught together. Programming solutions within the textbook are all written in pseudocode to suit all practical languages being taught alongside the theory. To accompany this textbook, PG Online also publishes a series of six downloadable teaching units. Each topic in a unit consists of a PowerPoint presentation, teacher's notes, worksheets, homework sheets and a final assessment test with exam-style questions. Pat Heathcote and Rob Heathcote both have years of experience as teachers, authors and examiners.

Synopsis

Subject level: AS and A Level Computer Science

Exam board: AQA

Concise, clear layout for every part of the AQA Computer Science 7516/7517 specification

Described as their "bible", this approachable AS and A-Level textbook has become the first choice for most teachers and schools delivering the AQA A Level specification. It covers everything in the complete Computer Science A Level. Separate textbooks are available to cover the AS Level course (9781910523063) and the second year is covered in a separate A Level textbook (9781910523032). Separate AS and A Level books allow for smaller, lighter weight and more accessible books for each year of the course. The content is identical.

Clarity is crucial. This book is laid out in a single column format with clear illustrations to keep you focussed on exactly what you need to know without missing anything. No unnecessary page clutter here! The specification has been closely followed in bite-sized chapters with exam style questions on each topic to test your understanding every step of the way.

Past exam questions are essential to good preparation, improving understanding and confidence. This book has combined real AQA questions with a selection of new questions and exercises. All the essential ingredients for getting a grade you can be really proud of.

Questions on all topics assessing knowledge, application and analysis are all specifically and carefully devised throughout this book.
Note: The questions and exercises in the book are frequently set by teachers for homework. For this reason, answers to all of the questions in the book are available free to teachers only via the PG Online website. Students who require the answers are able to contact their teachers.
