CS-Blog 4 Week 4

This past week’s assignments was dealing with Microsoft access in which I have to say probably half of the class struggled with because it was dealing with a new program from Microsoft. The first assignment dealing with Microsoft access required me to pull up my old CSV file in Microsoft excel and transfer it to the access table in Microsoft. After that I had to use the Query wizard to find duplicates in the state column, and then create a report for all of that information. The next assignment was dealing with Microsoft access as well. I had to add to my database, but I had to add a table relationship between the students and courses then make a report which required time and patients. Other than those assignments, I had to do a scratch assignment which was kind of fun it was basically an assignment that dealt with putting characters and items together and making plays with them. In addition to that I was required to make an interactive postcard using scratch as well which really wasn’t that hard at all. Finally, the class was required to read the first chapter of Blown to bits. This is a great book I know just by reading the first chapter. Without bits I don’t think we as individuals would be as far as we are in today’s life with technology. For example without bits it would take longer for people to receive our calls/emails etc., it would take longer for information to go into the computers, and finally hospitals wouldn’t be able to do some of the work they did without bits. In addition to that assignment, I was required to type my name using hexadecimal digits. Finally I think this past week’s assignments wasn’t as hard at all it just took a little bit of time which everything takes time and patients to master.
