21/04/16 - Assignment two and binary

Aim: Describe the features and functions of information systems

Objectives:


  • Consider how Tesco ClubCard was created and what this means for Information Systems.
  • Create a quiz about a feature or a function of information systems 
  • Describe features of information systems
  • Describe functions of information systems
  • Research an effective diagram to describe the information system loop and justify why this is 

  • Be able to convert between denary and octal.
  • Be able to calculate addition and subtractions sum directly in binary.
  • Be able to check sums calculated in binary by conversion method.
  • Calculate addition and subtraction in octal and hexadecimal.
  • Calculate multiplications and divisions in different number systems.

Today I learnt about assignment two task two and adding and subtracting binary. Once again task two is shallow but long so it will take a while to do. Adding and subtracting binary was quite simple and in the end I managed to do it straight from binary instead of converting it.

A strength of today is that I have got many notes about the binary and I understand it however I did not get too much from the task two. The quiz task we did was fun to do however it dragged on and I did not learnt too much about it. If the activity was shorter and everyone worked in pairs or small teams it would have been better.
