Week 12

Week 12, Assignment 3 was released and we started working on it, my group had a meeting but I couldn't managed to attended to that meeting L I  started working on the assignment and hopefully we will get it finished. 

Week 11

In week 11 I spent around 2 hours working on the presentation with Marcus and Tim after the lecture for building IT system and trying to make a nice, interesting power point about our project and how the characters in the show “The Walking Dead” could use our program J …. It was really fun to do such a thing.

Week 10

Week 10, assignment 2 has been successfully submitted, so I have nothing to do for this week waiting for assignment 3 to be released so I can work on it, in this week I did more research on what makes a project effective and tried to learn some tips which could help me and my team mates in our project. 

Week 9

In week 9, we had 2 group meetings working on the assignment.   Marcus and I did our sections but because  Jacob and Callum left the group we had to do their sections which was unexpected but we managed to finish the assignment , finalize it and submit it on time.  I worked hard on assignment 2, spent more hours on this assignment around 12 hours.

Week 8

In week I spent 2 hours working on my section of the assignment. My section was manly about the challengers which the group went through, I spent an hour reading over my team mates blogs and see what they have wrote on their blog and what kind of challengers they faced. This week was a hard week for all the team because we lost 2 of our group mates so we had to work hard and get the assignment finished on time. 

Week 7

In this week I have thought about the design for the application which we are going to make and what data are we going to include in the program, I brain stormed  some  dot points about database management and relational database. This is what I have done

I also thought about how the application would look like so I did some scratches.

I started thinking about what I’ll include in the records

Week 6

Weeks 5 goal was to plan the database context diagram , and in this week 6 I started working on it and finalizing it ………..

This was the first draft .

This was the second draft.

And with help from Marcus the final draft was done.

Week 5

This week’s task is to create a context diagram.  When I looked at the timetable and I saw the word “context diagram “I had no idea what It was, I jumped on YouTube and watched some helpful videos about what context diagram is and why is it helpful when creating a database management system.

I used this video to help me with knowing some ideas about context diagrams; I spent 2 hours trying to draw different types of diagrams. 

 Also this diagram was online which was really helpful …

Basically this week’s aim was to get to know what context diagram and do all the research about it , and learn how to draw one.

Week 4

In this week I have decided to  start writing my blogs on my dairy and by the end of the semester I would post what I wrote to the blog which I have created.  In this week I started thinking deeply about our project and whether we will successfully finish it off on time and what kind of challengers we will go through. 

I have nothing to do as the first draft was already done by the entire group in class so I decided to spend my time wisely and look online for the different ways to write a report as this is my first year at university and I have low experience in report writing.

I spent around 2 hours online reading and taken notes of the similar projects.

Also I spent 2 hours on Friday with Jacob and Marcus finalizing the timeline and the report and getting it ready to be submitted on the coming Sunday.
