database exam prep

October 12, 2010 by Daniella   Comments (0)

I think I've done pretty well with the entity relationship diagrams and for the most part importing into access because of the work we've done previously but I need more practice with finding mistakes in the data and changing them. I'm okay with validation rules and input masks but need to make sure I can use more complex ones like using drop down lists and need to remember to include validation text.

My project will use video, sound and animation to teach KS2 students about European countries - facts, culture and language.

the tactic!

to find out how long it will take i start with a random rounded up time like 7:00 and if its over by one hour like 13:00 i subtract an hour from the starting time so that it will make the time 12:00. But i use make sure i go to all the places that are closer first.

Strategy

1. Mark out on the map where the buses have to stop and the number of players to pick up
2. Split the map up into the 4 parts (like this)

3. Adjust the map sections so it doesn't cover places where you don't have to pick anyone up 
4. For each bus route make the first stop the furtherest away and work inwards to Crawley
5. Using the spreadsheet model check whether routes work
6. Trial and error to get routes working
7. Adjust depature times so the buses don't leave too early (because of age groups) but get to Crawley before 12:00

Mock exam

January 27, 2010 by Laura   Comments (0)

i am quite disappointed with my result, i know i can do so much better, i did revise but the topics that came up on mock were areas that i am still not comfortable with. i think more revision was needed, particularly in the calculations, i struggle to recognise what the question wanted you to work out. overall i made a lot of stupid mistakes, so i think in the future i should check more.

after each chemistry lesson i do go back and look at my work at home, and copy the work up into my folder.

Chemistry Mock

January 27, 2010 by Daniella   Comments (0)

Although I got my MAG grade I think I could have done a lot better considering that I did a lot of revision by answering questions from the text book and past papers the week before the exam. I mainly lost marks by not reading the question carefully enough and simple mistakes like not giving the full name of methods for producing ethanol and getting arrows the wrong way. I think I need to focus my revision on more difficult calculations involving volume and concentrations, as well as going over notes for alcohols and polymers.

On the other hand, my answers for longer questions and definitions improved ^___^

I am disappointed about my result again i did revison at home. I think i need to spend more time to go over things and if I get stuck i should speak to my teacher. Also I big panic in exam which make my mind blank but I am sure if I do more practise exam I will get better. I need to go over my materials after every lesson not only at weekend. I should put much more afford and time in my revision and also don't over stress and panic about my exams.

CRM

January 5, 2010 by Daniella   Comments (0)

CRM is used by businesses to improve marketing and sales, especially with existing customers. It works by analysing previous data to find key information and trends such as high selling products, location of customers and dates of orders which then allows the company to target certain areas whether by customer email or physical advertising.

  • Which county has the lowest rate of sales? ( Therefore meaning more advertising is needed)
  • Which is the least popular product? (Could be replaced)
  • Which item type is the most popular? (Information on what items should be replaced with)
  • Which item/ item type is most popular each month? (Example in September skates but December skis. Useful for discount sales)
  • Which customer ordered a certain item type? (Making emails more tailored to the customer)

 

 

CRM, Woop!

January 5, 2010 by Dale   Comments (0)

a CRM database is database which would manage the relationship between the company and its customers. this important because it affects the rate of sales and if the customers will return to purchase more products from that company. it also shows ideas for marketing plans that aim to find the best fit needs for their customers trying to increase the rate of sales.

1) what is a good product to suggest the customer?

2) what is selling at the moment and what is not?

Chains, energy and resources test

Overall I'm quite happy with my grade since it was a big improvement from the last test. I think I did really well with the numbers and equation and molecular structure sections. To push my grade to an A I need to work on recall and definitions although a lot of the marks I dropped were from stupid mistakes therefore I need to check over my test more carefully.
