The Waterfall Model

In class, we were asked to provide graphical descriptions of both the Waterfall Model and Prototype Model and explain them clearly upon our blogs. Below, both an image and description of the Waterfall Model is provided.


The Waterfall Model is seen as an approach to tackling the stages of problem solving. Within this method, each stage is completed before work on a new section commences. In other words, work on a new stage is begun until the previos has been completed.
One advantage of this method is that if problems occur, developers can back track 'up' the waterfall to each stage!

Year 14 Classwork...


Over the course of Year 14, we will complete Modules 4, 5 and 6 of the course. To keep myself on top of everything, I will neatly arrange all work in folders as illustrated below.


New School Year (",)!

Been a while since I wrote to this blog, but it's a new school year and I have new targets which I hope to achieve over the next few terms.
Overall, last year I feel my poor behaviour was a clear factor in my poor exam result. In order to alter this, I intend to change my attitude this year. Rather than messing around, I will complete the assigned work in class, ask questions when there are topics I don't understand and complete all homeworks.
Admittedly, I didn't put the required effort into my coursework last year and the end result came across as quite rushed. This year however, things will be different. I will work at coursework consistantly and meet the deadlines rather than leaving most til the last minute and then struggling to have it complete. This I feel should lead to clear improvements in my results this summer...

Laterz ("-)!
