Hello Students..

I assume that you are doing the leg work in Module 5,6,7 and 8. Our target is to nail these modules on or before Oct. 22, 20202. Not to submit the modules but to housekeep anything and learn.

I just want to wrapped up what are the core topics in the module.

1. Office activity operations, using the Word Processing, Spread Sheets and Slides Presentation Package

One of the  requirements  in the modules is to download the Libre Office software. In case you don't have the laptop..what to do? "Simple lang" you can use your mobile phone to download the other flavor of Libre Office software like  WPS writer , it has a calc for spreadsheets, text editor for word processing and it has slides presentation programs for slides shows.

SKILLS Building Activity is like a real journey or experience that brings you in the real world of laboratory exercise. "Pero dito  ka nya binibigyan ng instructions sa  module"

SO..you are also instructed to write your RESUME. 

"Ano ba si RESUME?" it is your self circumstances :) or your Career Vitae in short your BIODATA.

I  already explained to you the SAD? Systems analysis and design. The role of the Systems Data Analyst and how SAD affects your IT Project.

Systems Thinking is like a social engineering of you. How? you study the behavior of the project, gather the problem using the SDLC.

1. Data gathering 2. Design a prototype  3. Test the prototype  4. Implement it  5. Do another Bench marking(testing ulit)  6. Install 7. Maintain

SDLC is Software Development Life Cycle. The purpose of this..is to sustain the life cycle of the program. "Yan po". There are various models of SDLC, I will mention one. That is the "WATER FALL MODEL".
