ATTENTION O LEVEL STUDENTS & SCHOOL MANAGEMENT (SEEING IS BELIEVING)
It is observed that some schools have decided to include old 'Computer Studies' books from authors Stephen Doyle, Chris Leadbetter, Stewart Wainwright and Alan Stinchcombe in their ‘school book list’ for the new CIE Computer Science syllabus 2210 .
First of all, these books were published atleas 3 years back and do not cover up 100% contents of new syllabus 2210.
Secondly, it doesn't make any sense using these old out dated books that do not fulfill the requirement of the current CIE syllabus. Only 40% contents of the new syllabus cover up by these old books, which has to be taken into consideration by the students, teachers and school managements.
The worse part of the case is, many computer science teachers are still recommending these books to their schools & students & setting students into severe issues for future when students will not find many topics in above mentioned author’s books.
Schools are suggested to take care of this issue seriously and go through with the new CIE syllabus 2210 comparing contents with the following books.
Students are informed to be aware of when choosing computer science books for O Level. The suggested books for O level Computer Science are available at renowned book sellers that cover up 100% contents of the CIE new O level syllabus. The recommended books even cover up contents of Paper 1 and Paper 2 of AS level as well.
