Entry 7 - 15/03/2018
Reflective learning
In the lecture we went through a PowerPoint of the content that we should include in our presentations that we would be filming. It also included the layout such as having the titles of the main topics that we would discuss in the beginning of the presentation. But first we had to include an introduction at the start and what the purpose of our business is; in this case we would be giving advice to a business on how they would be able to solve their problems through IT solutions.
Group work
We had a meeting in the previous week where we all looked at more IT solutions for the business problems, however we had a limited time together so we all decided on specific sections in the presentation for each of us to focus on so that we could expand on the problems and solutions. We had emailed each other the extra notes that we had written and have compiled it into a PowerPoint. The next step for our group is to have a practice run so that we can see how much time we will take to present and see if there is any unnecessary information that we can remove.
Seminar
In this weeks seminar, we looked at the 'What If' function to use on Excel; we focused on budgets and how the remaining balance would differ if any of the expenses were changed. One of the scenarios we did today was of a student budget so we entered in the original figures on to the spreadsheet and defined the name of the cells that we had entered numbers into, this was so that it would be easier to read on the final scenario spreadsheet. Rather than all of the figures being able to change, we had to look at what would be a fixed cost such as rent so this figure would not change.
