"GCSE IT..."

Is anyone doing this/done this? If so did you do spec A or B? Is it just my imagination or is SpecB so much easier? SpecA you have to do around 500 pages and we only have to do around 150.

Well i have just finished my Excel project and am predicted an A* coursework in that so I'm happy. I have just finished my Access Database but have all the coursework to come with it...

So anyone else doing it/done it and want to gimme any tips or just say they are doing it?

Yeah most of it you copy from books, building the thing, then you jyust have to write about what you did. You do only need to have the basics and a reasonably OK teacher..

Yeah, just looked at the syllabus, and well... followed it to the bone, elaborating every chance I had...

Our coursework was split into two... an IT project (designing a system for a company, including use of spreadsheets, databa...zzzz...) then a monitoring program which collects data such as temperature, movement.

I did the first one, designing a system for a company. But now i have to make a crime dataabase in Access. I have finished the database but now have to write it up.

What do you mean by that?

Like all the bumph that come with it. Introduction Analysis etc. although i do not know how this one is to be written up. We have not been told that yet. Like the project, i have not done that yet.

I'm doing A level Computing and basically Access is really easy to use, even though i have never used it before in my life. Basically it's way better than Excel in almost all respects, but in this you can't do graphs on what you did compared to Excel, and you can't doing mathematics inside the cells to work out a sum.

Oh, did a bit of thinking for that - I split it into different sections, although I can't remember them all exactly. Be sure to include:


Analysis of current system (eg. using paper to record stuff, etc)
Feasibility of exisitng solutions (cost, time)

Ermm.... it was a long time ago..
