Tute one

Good start to the unit paul, 10 minutes late to the first tute! Grr over an hour with the traffic! (Yet still arrive before it begins)

Ok so the tute has started off a bit slow, first we discussed what a system is and what the role of a systems analysis is. I think it was very important that we did this because everyone was still a little iffy about what these were in relation to the unit, people were getting confused with an information system rather than just a system.

The exercise was to divide into groups and select a subsystem of the water supply system. We selected the distribution system, and had a bit of a hard time identifying the stages in which the water must go through to reach the end consumers. None of the websites that were linked as extra resources provided a clear outline of the processors that take place (or rather we couldn’t find the relative material on the resources provided). We sat down and logically thought about how the system worked and then created, what would probably be very simplistic in relation to real life, staged process.

Overall i believe it served its purpose, a simplistic introduction to how a systems analyst tackles a problem that wasn’t overloaded with information we will never remember, nor need.

Week one over and only twelve more to go!

Till next we meet,
Paul
