[Year 12 IPM] OT: Unit 2 IT study design

[Mark Kelly]

IT Unit 2
Outcome 1
Key Knowledge dotpoint 2 (at the end) refers to:

'method acquiring (sic) data (for example, sensors, data-entry screens)'

Quibble 1 - "method acquiring data" does not make sense.

Quibble II (Revenge of the Quibble)- The punctuation seems to collapse 
in this para: the commas before "nature of output" and "method 
acquiring" should surely be semicolons.

Argument - Would not "data entry screens" constitute input rather than 
acquisition?  Sure, they may be gathering new data from people, but if 
they are entering the data into the system at the same time, it would 
surely count as input.

Any opinions?  I've finished reports and have time for a good quibble  :-)
