[Year 12 IT Apps] Puts down the rifle...

Tue Nov 15 09:52:50 EST 2011

Hi Damien,

Good point about all data, however, couldn't that be read as "all data that is part of the incremental backup" not as "all data being a full backup".

A, C and D are all definitely efficiency measures IMHO

Cheers

David

Hi David,
I agree with those except am a bit stumped on Q17.
A, C & D are definitely efficiency,  although C could at a stretch go towards timeliness, but B states that ALL of the data is backed up ONLINE at the end of each week.
The question says that only the incremental backups are online, so it can't be B either

I'm with Mark on this one. Definitely A.

Validation can ensure that I input a date of birth for example that is reasonable, say 12/08/1981 but is it accurate, no!

Here are my multiple choice answers.

1 B
2 A
3 D
4 D
5 A
6 A
7 B
8 A
9 A - not so confident on that one
10 A
11 C
12 C
13 B
14 B
15 D
16 C
17 B
18 B
19 C
20 C

Validation deals with data entry.

Options B, C and D are all testing to ensure data manipulation is correct/accurate etc.

Only option A clearly deals with data entry (i.e. the most correct option)

Dear wiser colleagues
Can someone help me with MC question 8?

An effective validation technique is evident when ... all answers seem to support the presence of an effective validation technique.

A - at first glance the answer but is reasonableness the best evidence of validation?
B- an accurate report suggests accurate input data, doesn't it?
C- least likely but again "reasonably"? What does that mean? If data can be sorted is it valid?
D -calculated files gives correct answers! Is this evidence of GIGO - not garbage in, garbage out, but good in, good out?

I'm confused!

I cannot believe that number question. No one would normally type numbers in as numerals, set the data type to text and then order from A -> Z.

I doubt anyone would get the answer to that unless they have accidentally done it in the past.

Because you have entered them as text, the sort will only look at the left most number to order them (just like with normal ones).

Answer according to Access is B....

Question 5 in the Multiple Choice? What's the consensus on that one?

I don't have the paper in front of me, but after a quick chat to my students, plain to see that they had differing opinions on the sorting of numbers as text question in the multiple choice.

I'm not marking this year by the way.

I'm reading the paper now.

Section A looks pretty free of rabies.

I have put the gun down after reading the normalisation question...  Thank Dog sanity prevailed on that one!

Damn that ERD question - three marks and they had to draw an entire diagram from scratch!  Grrr.

The 8 mark question appeared, as we expected.  And it was approachable.

Overall, I think I might give the dog a bone.
