Cc4057 Introduction To Information Systems Assessment Answer

Question:

his is an individual coursework worth 30% of the total module mark. It requires developing of a model of data to be processed by an information system, and writing a report to reflect on the learning process up to this point of study.

Tasks

1. Construct binary representation of the integer number which rounds the max 4 price of a recently bought book, CD or DVD

        Example: 30 is the rounded integer number of the price 29.95 which I paid on

                        Amazon, so I need to find out its binary representation

2. Describe the steps of the procedure used to construct the representation max 5

    Hint: Consult the first lecture about the algorithm

3. Convert the actual price paid for the book, CD or DVD into Binary32 format max 6

    Example: The actual price of my book is 29.95 in decimal format, so I have to find

                    out what is the Binary32 representation of this value in binary format

4. Describe the steps in the conversion procedure max 8

         Hint: Again, consult the material from the first two weeks

5. Write a reflection on your experience in the module 

Requirements

1. Binary integer representation

If you have bought a CD from the HMV store at 16.99, for example, you need to provide the binary representation of the rounded price in pounds, i.e. 17

2. Binary decimal representation

If you have bought a CD from the HMV store at 16.99, for example, you need to provide the binary representation of the precise decimal value in ponds and pennies, i.e. 16.99

3. Reflection

Your reflection must include your preliminary expectation from the module at the beginning of the academic year, your impression after the first four weeks, the problems you encountered during this period and the progress you realized after the first four weeks of studying.

Deliverables

1. Written report, submitted by the deadline to WebLearn (one .pdf file only)

· The report must have a title page, table of content, page numbers

· The report must present all components of the work as required (the original item and its price, the integer rounding of the price, its binary representation, its decimal representation and description of the two procedures)

· The report must also contain reflection on the learning process up to the moment

· It must be written in proofread English in a good style
