The First Access Assignment

I’ve posted the assignments for the whole course. Well, the first six or seven, but I got fed up with changing the format. I’ll do the rest later. They are also on the college VLE, but that’s not much good when you’ve forgotten your login details. I know, you couldn’t possibly forget them…

Here’s some tips on how to do the first one.

Tip 1 Don’t worry about it. If it looks easy it probably is.

Tip 2 I’m assessing content, not style. Yes, it will be easier in the long run if you can word process it. Get used to it now while you can, because you really will need to word process the later ones!

Tip 3 If you don’t know what to do, ASK. You can ask me, or your friend, or Dear Abby the agony aunt. But don’t just sit and fester until it’s too late.

Tip 4 Describe and draw the basic information process model. Say that you will give an example of an information processing model. Describe and draw the multistore model and explain how it fits the basic model. Sit back and admire your work. Sip at the glass of wine…

Tip 5 Choose a bit of computer, say hard disk. Explain how this is a storage item. Compare it with a bit of the memory process. Explain how it compares with a bit of the memory process. Sit back again, admire the work and have another sip. Hic!

Tip 6 Read your notes, and consider looking at Gross page 27 box 2.6 and page 32 box 2.9. For fun, you might read the pages between as well! Then try your hand at answering the third part of the assignment. If you really are worried about literary style, then write as if you were writing me a letter. If you want. Finish the bottle.

This is you when you've done the assignment. Unless you're one of the blokes. In which case I'll find a suitable picture for a later post.

So good luck!
