Today has mainly been learning about assignment two. There is one task in this assignment and it does not seem to hard to do. It is up to a merit criteria so I do not have to go into loads of detail however I do need a decent amount.
The first activity was a quiz about this unit so far. It was a quiz with 28 questions worth 50 marks. This was to refresh our minds about the unit and see how much we have remembered. In the end I managed to get 32/50 that I was quite proud with.
Finally after we had learnt about assignment two, we moved onto working onto work. I have been working on assignment one task three as this is all I have left to do and it is in for Wednesday. It should not take too long to finish as I have done quite a bit of it.

Friday - Assignment one started
We started off today with the quiz. This quiz was about hardware and the basics of a computer. It was quite an interesting quiz and the prizes were quite amazing. First place was some vietnamese swirls, second prize was a sticky note. In the end Euan won the swirls and Billy won the sticky note saying good job.
After that we moved onto learning about OS (Operating System) for task two. This was quite interesting as I never knew that there was so much behind the OS and how it loads via the BIOS (Basic Input Output System). I also did not know that the BIOS did a check at the start if all of the components were there.
Finally I worked on assignment one task one. This is not complicated as it is writing about computer hardware. In the end I managed to finish 5 of the parts and I have started the 6th. I will be finishing this off in the half term and I will also aim to finish task two.

Thursday - New Unit!
We started off the final unit of the course and the unit is computer systems. This is the unit I have been looking forward to this unit as I am very interested in computer hardware and I think that this is going to be a good unit. I have done some upgrades to my computer such as the PSU and the graphics card so it would be nice to learn more.
One of the activities was about labeling different parts of a computer. I found this activity quite interesting as I knew some of them however it was nice to learn all of the different parts such as the network card.
The final activity we did was to look at the different operating systems. Our table were the first to go over there and look at the different operating systems. There were Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 10 and Linux. I looked at Windows XP and Windows Vista and you could see a change between them. We had a check list to fill out and tick off which ones we could do.
Overall this day has been very enjoyable and I have learnt quite a lot from today. So far this unit has been interesting and I cannot wait to learn more.

Tuesday - Assignment four
My main aim for today was to finish off most of assignment four. I did want to finish off however in the end I did not managed to get all of it done. I only have two more questions to write about as I am only aiming for a merit in this unit.
Firstly I worked on assignment four task one. I did not have too much to do on it however it did take a little bit of time as had to comment on my code and then take screenshots and write about them. This took a bit of time however in the end I managed to finish it off.
Finally I worked on assignment four task two. This was to write about my survey and make changes to what was suggested. I had already made some of the changes and got screenshots of them however I have not written about them. In the end I wrote about 3 questions so I have 2 left to go. I will finish this off on either Wednesday or on Thursday.
