You need to pick one area of computer science (like computer graphics, computer vision, big data, or complexity) and explain how it works. This means describing the key ideas, the algorithms behind it, real-world examples, and the main problems—and then going deeper by exploring how it affects people and what different experts think about it.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Identify and explain the key concepts and mechanisms in your chosen computer science area with technical accuracy
- ·Describe the relevant algorithms or techniques and show how they work in practice with real examples
- ·Explain how your chosen area is actually used in the real world and what benefits or limitations it has
- ·Identify major problems or issues in the area and discuss how they've been or could be solved
- ·For higher grades: explore how the area affects people, compare different expert viewpoints, and draw insightful conclusions that show deeper thinking
AAchieved
You explain the key aspects, name and describe the relevant algorithms, give real examples, and identify basic problems—showing you understand the topic at a surface level with simple explanations.
