Cover for DP

Friday 18th June. Periods 3-4 year 10

all students should be making sure that any and all work from projects 1a and b are complete. We have been over this many times, and if necessary, they could even read the instructions!

We have also started writing up the introduction to the main piece of coursework - project 2. The relevant info can be found in Shared/ict/gcse ict/project 2/ analysis.

students should already have a copy of the analysis template and be writing up their scenarios.

The next session is user requirements - what the customer needs a filing system to be able to do.

As a group we came up with the requirements listed in the file "current file system and user requirements" this should be written up in conjunction with the notes from "user requirements improvements" - to summarise - rather than a bald statement that the user needs to be able to add a record to their filing system, you have do describe a situation in which they would do it "in real life".

Then, imagine you were using a paper filing system. What problems would you have with keeping track of everything (particularly if you were not very organised)?

At NO stage in this section should you make any reference to computers or datebases.
