Coursework (rationale)“The teacher can discuss coursework with students in ways such as interpreting the requirement of coursework, making conjectures about the degree of difficulty of each coursework …or advising possible use of certain software / hardware… an achievable coursework is one that can meet the basic requirements in the public assessment”

教師可幫助學生逐一揣摩其深淺程度，或就使用某些軟硬件的可行性提供意見．．．．一個可以完成的個人習作，是公開評核的基本要求。(Resource Package on Coursework Assessment of CIT Curriculum,
