What did we think? (1 Viewer)

[honky tonk]

I didn't like ethical and technical issues arising from Mickey's friends requests, and I didn't like the options questions that asked for the Purpose, Participants, Data/Information, etc.

Other than that, I think it was pretty straightforward. What do you think?

 

[dAn1]

Agreed. It was a pretty straightforward paper..

I had had enough of those information system diagrams by the end of it.. i thought I was seeing things!

 

[jackie_23]

Yeah same what was with all the options being so similar!

 

[honky tonk]

Hehe, I did the Transaction Processing System question that incorporated the Information Systems diagram, started turning the page thinking "glad that's over", and then saw the almost identical diagram for Multimedia. *sigh*

 

[tonberry_kun]

i thought i had a printing mistake cuz eveyr option had that crappy diagram on the 2nd page

It would have been better if I hadn't just come out of another exam. But, it was fairly ok...not too hard, but the same question for each option was pretty frustrating, I thought.

 

[hipsta_jess]

that was the most freaking awesome paper i have ever done!!
i didnt like the one in the multiple choice with the graph with the 0's and 1's.. i took a guess
and i didnt like the one of the ones in TPS

but apart from that it was awesome!

our teacher was waiting as we came out and said that they were 3 shitty questions, which i pretty much agreed on..

woohoo! we're done! no more IPT ever!!

exam thoughts

i agree that the exam was fairly straight forward. I hated those questions that were in the options with the info system diagram cause they took ages.

 

[tonberry_kun]

and were repetitive
i guess alotta ppl hated those stupid options Qs with the system diagram

I did the same as you, except for Question 16, where I put C.

Okay, you don't have to call people "n00bs" for getting 1 mark off, unless you're prepared to admit to 100%, because 99% is "n00b"-like, because you didn't get that extra mark. So let's not call people names for missing out on 1 mark, if they believe it was correct at the time

I completely agree with you here hipsta_jess.

010 100 etc Multiple choice was pretty stupid, but I guess it was tricky for a reason

I thought it was an awesome paper too, it sure beat my 2003 CSSA Trial, LOL!

I didn't mind the repetition, but I guess it got boring writing the purpose/information processes over and over

I honestly didn't think it was too bad. I just talked about three things:
1) His intellectual work being used with no compensation
2) Data privacy - his friends may not want his other friends seeing their information etc
3) Technical = filesize. Not that I put this example in, but you know how Hotmail has a 2mb inbox limit? Well a populated database could easily exceed 2mb. Not to mention the strains on bandwidth for uploading, download etc.

 

[Huy]

I basically said:

a) Privacy of the individual (ethical)
b) Technical - mail merging 'impossibilities' (technical)

Made up stuff though

 

[Jeo]

um what about database software version compatibility..

Huy check ur PM!

Yeah thats what I put! I was a bit worried that I was missing the main issue though, was there another major technical issue?

Edited my post.

Also thanks to "crazie" from BOS for PM'ing me, notifying the dead link (exceeding my site bandwidth).

I put database compatibility.. like all the users would have to get the same database software.. am I making sense?

This is what I put in the exam:

14 - B
16 - C

So yes, I did put it as well.

I thought about binary, see my exam paper.
2^0
2^1
I tried to make columns and work it out, but I figure it's too much of an effort for 1 mark (I wanted to get out of there after the 'pencil/pen' conundrum)
