It’s a comprehensive resource allowing all my Y12 students the ability to access the theory in an understandable way – then apply it to the scenarios. They liked making the games & seeing how OOP could be used ... OOP can be a challenging concept for weaker programmers – so this pack really helped to make it understandable for students & enjoyable ... The majority of the students are incorporating or intending to incorporate OOP into their H446 programming project ... The scenarios “gamified” the topic & allowed for instant feedback & application. Even less advanced programmers could identify the key components in the sample code to A level standard ... It gave a really clear explanation on OOP with some great examples. One of my students said he might use it to make a Harry Potter sorting hat, or wand matching app. They really enjoyed using it this term ... Matches well with Chapter 11 of the H446 SOW from PG online
A fantastic resource to structure the delivery of OOP to Y12 and/or Y13 ... As well as being able to use it teacher led it is well structured enough to allow the more confident/able to progress at their own pace ... It gives practical experience that leads directly into the OOP skills and knowledge required in both the exams and the NEA ... It is well paced and chunked to allow gradual progress while reinforcing concepts already covered ... It is simple and step by step with no prior OOP understanding required ...

Fantastic resource. Really easy to follow and gives you quite a few weeks of prepared learning. Love it! ... Students find it really easy to follow. The activities are well thought out ... A great introduction to OO programming. Alongside normal teaching lesson, this is a really useful resource ... Works great as a workbook for students. Most other resources I have found are just Presentations with some questions -- less useful ... Save time planning lessons and resources. This pack helps you tick off quite a number of spec requirements in one hit ... Works well. Covers most elements and those I need to cover in a little more depth are easily linked in to the booklet lessons
Good structure and notes, and useful theory questions ... and a useful crossword. Answers seem correct and have a good amount of detail ... [it helps by] clarifying OOP concepts and practise in answering OOP theory questions ... Good examples using Python
Good quality and covers all the requirements of the current A level specifications. As someone who delivers this aspect of the course, I would and I am sure my students would find it useful.
