unit 18


After completing my program I have to explain why and how I did the program. For my evaluation I will be asking myself some question like how accurate and the time it took.

All test work fine there are no problems and if there were ever going to be any problems then go to the technical and user documentation to use what has gone wrong. All tests have been tested by me the programmer and have also been tested by an external person. They used all the functions a feature of the program and told me that there were no problems. They said it ran smoothly and fast and they were able to add as many records as they pleased. When I tested the program the only thing I would improve and add would be a clear all button, where all the information about the employee could be cleared except the information on the list box. 

For example when the user has to enter new information about a new employee they have to back space to clear the information, but with a clear all button it would be much easier and very fast.

The program matched completely as all the requirements were meet and there are no errors or problems when running the program. I designed the overtime which was to longest thing to do as it made me think more and had me confused for long time, but then I realised how to construct it.

The strengths of the program are the list box and how all the information of the employees can go in the list box and can be saved and the user can put as many employees’ details in as well. Another strength is the overtimes it counts the overtime of all employees and adds it in a separate part in the list box. I don’t think the program has any weaknesses as of the requirement were meet and has design 100% accurately.

Also I had reached my target which was to complete all my coursework on time and complete them to distinction level. I have tried and put good amount of effort in doing the tasks I had been set. Furthermore my skills of using the computers and making databases, spreadsheets and other stuff has improved my skill level has been going up because of my perfect attendance and my punctuality to lesson and listening to the teachers very carefully also by receiving instruction of the teachers in how to use different programs and how to meet the criteria’s in my coursework. In addition I have identify and looked at a variety of programs such as visual basics.

unit 15

In my research notes that I have gathered for this assignment, I have descibed in depth the various types of threats to my college's computer system and database. I have transmitted this information in publisher to hand out as a leaflet and present a powerpoint presentation on 2 specific threats associated with unauthorised access to the information on the college's system.

I have also incorporated in my leaflet the 4 threats to the college's information which I believe to be most relevant. I have described the impact these threats could have on the college and to it's service users, so that staff can fully understand the severity of these threats.

I have also described and illustrated the measures that staff could put in place to minimize and reduce the risk of damage to information such as adding passwords, cctv cameras, electronic fingerprint recognition, lock and key security, visual telecom and voice recognition. 

Referring back to my notes I produced a security plan explaining the possible security issues that exsist within the college's systems. I identified the threats and the impact of the loss of various resources together with countermeasures that could be used against these threats.

unit 3, 6, 18,

Well I have completed all these units to distinctions criteria and now Louis my teacher is making me do some quick and easy adjustments so that I can have a stronger distinction without anyone saying that its not! 


On Thursday he was showing the class where we were at, and if he are achieving the criteria that we want. I was happy with my progress as it said distinction. :)


In unit 3 I have to give him the feedback for assignment 1 and then I should have passed the unit with a distinction with Azharul as he was my partner in the second assignment.  


Unit 6 and 18 were completed a long time ago so there is no need to look back at those units.

unit 3


I just finished my unit 3 assignment 2 today :D

The assignment was a group assignment were we had to work in pairs. I’m currently working with Azharul. We have to design a presentation to show the class on Monday 21th April 2011.
This presentation gives us evidence of how information is used in organisations. The assignment will give me the opportunity to research the tools used to process, store and present this information.

The presentation will include:
         We will be describing the different tools used to manage and process information. 
         We will compare the usefulness of different tools for processing information to support effective business decision making with examples. 
         Explaining the purpose and operation of data mining and predictive modelling.
         And at the end we will be evaluate tools used for processing information with respect to their support in decision making.

Working in pairs is difficult as some of the work was done at home and the other person couldn’t see it until the lesson, so couldn’t give their feedback. But I think Azharul and I work well together and was able to finish the presentation on time and we are ready to show the class the amazing presentation that we made.
