I got a personal system due the next term. I completed the group information system like the day before the due date. I'm here to ask for some suggestions for the personal system.

-Visual Basic (preferably easy to make)

Just post suggestions

it would be so nice if you could post up the assignment question
because not everyone does the same assignment and at the moment i have no idea what you're talking about!

why are you using visual basic for an IPT assignment? isn't that a bit over doing it??

what's a personal system?
that's not something defined within IPT?

Personal System: An information system, which is purposed to be used for only one person. For example, a single-person budget. But we are deciding only- the budget might be hard in vb- graphs??

Person 2: Read the sylabus, everyone should be having this same assignment.

For our first group assignment on personal systems (Huratio and I), we built a library catalogue system in visual basic, using an independant textfile database.
Apart from the VB program, we had 11 pages of documentation plus the other stuff, all in all it was about 18 pages or so.


We need some suggestions for the personal system. We'd like to create a system which is useful to us and to you.

no i'm sorry to tell you but you are wrong
not everyone does the same assignment
there is no such thing as a set assignment, all assessments at school are determined by your teacher. the board of studies does provide guideslines, which is in the syllabus, but they are just guide lines as to how marks are to be awarded for each part of the course, even then most teachers will not follow it word-for-word

i have read the syllabus, lol i lived through the entire course already!

now, i personally think that you are putting way too much onto your plates for a simple year11 IPT project, i give you points for being ambitious!
firstly i don't understand why you are using VB for IPT when most people will only ever touch on the MS office package which includes powerpoint, word, excel, and access, maybe frontpage but not for yr11...

for year11 i only ever had one assessment and that was my major, it was a simple assignment, with everything outline and as to what programs we are to use. it was simple and did not require thinking, which is what all year 11 assignments should be

here is the understanding the problem from my assignment, which should give you an idea as to what i did, this is the same for the entire class, we didn't have choices

Understanding the Problem

The problem is to define and work out the costs of running a bar and bistro. With doing this we must work out all the wages for both employees working the in both the bar and the bistro. We must also, with the aid of a spreadsheet problem, work out all the stock that this bar and bistro will require. Implementing all the basic necessities of a bar and bistro which includes, security, insurance, water, gas, electric and council rates into a budget to work out all the costs of running this bar and bistro.

Once all the expenditure is worked out, we have to calculate if this bar will be successful with the amount of customers and at what ticket price we should charge the customers. To do this we work out by assuming and predicting the amount of customers that we visit and adjust the ticket price accordingly. The main problem is to work out if this bar is worth buying or not and that if this bar is brought will it continue to bring in money or will this be a fail investment if purchased.

To work out if this bar and bistro is worth buying we have to collect all the data of the expenditure and place it together into a spreadsheet and see if the income and profit is greater then the expenditure. If it is greater then this bar is definitely worth buying. We will also have to work out how much money is needed to buy this bar and bistro, along with how much money is going to be borrowed from the bank and what are the repayments.

The participants are the bar and bistro owners, along with the staff and a survey of the customers. Gino Dela-Tutti will have to investigate and gather all the information and data so that he can work out if this bar and bistro is worth buying.

The data required are things such as the wage bill of the staff, the amount of money needed to buy stock for the bar and bistro, the amount of customers that visit the bar and bistro in a week, and how much money will he need to loan and what are the repayments.

Requirements are to setup a new spreadsheet and database of information. This spreadsheet will have the amount of money required to pay the wages, stock, loan and other expenses. The database file should contain all the contact information about the members, suppliers and employees.
for this assignment i utilised MS Word, excel and Access for database

it was simple

also don't measure assignment as to page lenght, this one was 50pages

my yr12 major was 150+pages (172 to be exact)

you have very high standards, which is good, but i don't know how you will survive year12 if you try the same thing when you get IPT assignments next year, IPT is infamous for having the longest and most annoying assessments

PS: it is impossible to get a UAI of 99.99
UAI had increments/decrements of 0.05
eg 100 -> 99.95 -> 99.90
there is no inbetween :p

nah... were in competition with another group, they utilised access with vb, and gained an outstanding product, but they lacked the document length, that might let them down.

maybe our fellow killara high students all have high standards.
Thanks for the suggestion, that maybe a basis on our project.

but we are still in consideration,
pls post more suggestions.

P.S HellVeN isn't that smart when it comes to UAI marks- look at his comment, he wants to be a software engineer- he is more bright in the 'technical' side of things.

Fuck you Hobbo you fagget I'll cane your ass comes year 12. I think you failed to notice the greater than sign in front of the UAI anyway. Not that any of this matters.

Back to the topic, I did not phrase my sentence correctly, what I meant was that everyone should have a similar assignment. An entire chapter in the Heinmen preliminary book is also devoted to this particular assignment.

Our assignment question is fairly broad. Information systems may range from Ms Office solutions (as forementioned) to the higher level programming of applications.

A personal information system is an information system which is created for a sole user.

The reason why I personally chose to use VB instead of the easier solutions is mainly because of a few factors.
* Time
* Challenge
* Fun
* SDD

We just need some suggestions.

I was thinking something useful. IE: An organiser specificly made for students.

with your attitude i highly doubt that you will get close

in future if you can't take someone else correcting your work, then don't ask for help on these forums

i will just ignore your comments this time, else i will just ignore all your requests for help in the future

my advice would be for you to keep it simple, that is if you want my advice, since i got a feeling you might come back to tell me off again:rolleyes: which kind of kills the purpose to asking for help on these forums....

anyways
a personal organiser is a good idea, you can base it around a schedule system where it will display appointments in daily, weekly, monthly format
allow users to input/output information
maybe you can link it with excel spreadsheet and use it as a database or just use access which can be much more difficult

but remember it doesn't matter how well you plan things out, if you can't carry out the program at the end it defeats the entire purpose and a half finished program is as good as not starting at all

Thanks for your input.
I think you misunderstood me (Yet again :/), I wasn't going off at you, "Hobbo" is Huratio's nickname. Hence he was being gay for saying:
P.S HellVeN isn't that smart when it comes to UAI marks- look at his comment, he wants to be a software engineer- he is more bright in the 'technical' side of things.
Yes I was also thinking of a schedule sort of system, but instead of 'appointments', more like a system to track assignment due dates and such.

I continually beat u in Maths, English (not IPT) u don't do Economics (i will beat u in business), u did so shit in chemistry u dropped it, and legal studies (i'm more intelligent in the 'legal world')
I doubt it that u will go that far with ambitions with 100.00 UAI and become a computer engineer, even though people are free with their opinions.
Leave this topic to IPT only
