September 2009

September

The back-to-school-month was all about the destination database, again! We’re spending ages on it. It’s slightly annoying that the examiner won’t actually be marking our database, but a document with print screens. I almost feel like the work was for nothing, but oh well.

This month we:
-- Database Evidence Report:
we had a whole sheet to fill
out and to comment about, which was kind of daunting. We explained everything
that we had done within this document and this meant that we had to print screen
everything tiny, little thing we did -- that’s a lot of print screening! We
looked at the why’s and how’s etc. and annotated the print screens, with the
help of a, well, help sheet. I used a criteria sheet as well. Then it was handed
into sir.

-- Trip Lists:
this was about searching through the
database and finding the best trips for the final trip categories -- it was the
first step into narrowing it down. We also did a print screen report for the
trip searching as well. I stuck to same kind of layout as the first report, so
that it was more professional.


So, still on the database, eh? It does take it’s time. Next month, guess what: more database work! I want to get onto the more creative work.
