Objectives

To describe how data can be represented in control systems
Identify elements of digital/analogue systems


Learning Outcomes (what the learner will be able to do)

Express numbers using some of: binary, hexadecimal, Binary Coded Decimals (BCD), ASCII
Identify explain some data types
Explain some logic gates and be able to write truth tables for them
Explain what microcontrollers are
Explain in detail number systems, logic, logic operators and data types


Learning Objectives (skills, knowledge & attitudes)

Express numbers using some of: binary, hexadecimal, Binary Coded Decimal, ASCII
Create a virtual logic circuit
Create a logic circuit
Select suitable data types for a given situation

Today a strength has been being able to remember logic gates and binary conversion from AS.
Today a weakness was reading a question wrong and getting answers mixed up.
Today I have learnt what signal filtering and level shifting is.
Today has been good as I have previous knowledge of logic gates.
I have one dead line, U24 A1T2 10th of October.

Graduate Games Developer


You will already have developed games in a commercial setting and or in your spare time or have a strong interest in games development. Ideally you will have a BSc in Computer Science or Games Technology
£22,000 - £23,000
This is a job role that I have looked at and would be a grate job straight from uni.

Lesson 2 - 14/09/17

Lesson Aim:
Increase knowledge of EDP.
Analyse application for their use of EDP. 
Learn how different LEGO NXT sensors function, and how to utilise them using code. 

Learning Outcomes:
Research advantages and disadvantages of EDP
Learn about service oriented EDP
Create code to control a number of sensors on the LEGO Robots
Create code that controls a number of LEGO robot sensors. 

Learning Objectives:
Explain service oriented Event Driven Programming
Explain the definition of service oriented EDP
Research further key aspects of Event Driven Programming
Explain functionality and usage of LEGO sensors
Understand how to control the various LEGO sensors


Today I have learnt how to code in NXC for Lego robots.

Today a strength has been being able to learn how to use the ultrasonic sensor.

A weakness that I had today was added to much to the robot so that it would fall apart.

Today has been fun since we got to play with Lego robots.

Aims and Objectives 13/09/17
Aim: To explain the fundamentals of CSS

Objectives:

Explain how to correctly write CSS
Effectively explain the different types of selectors
Confidently explain what the box model is and the components that make it up
State where JavaScript should be placed in a web page
Write some basic JavaScript

Today a strength has been handing in all my assignments so that I have no more work that needs to be done at the moment.

Today a weakness has been writing hours instead of minutes and seconds in a JavaScript program, this took me 10 minutes to figure out. 

Today I have learnt how to write a bit of JavaScript.

Today has been good cause I have focused and done a lot of work.

I have no deadlines.

To understand the requirements of control systems
Identify the difference between digital and analogue signals

Outcomes
State what a control system is and their importance
Describe the four main types of control systems
Explain digital and analogue characteristics
Explain what microcontrollers are
Identify what a digital and analogue signal are


Objectives
Identify the difference between analogue and digital
Identify where analogue / digital signals are from and their uses
Understand the process of conversion
Today's objectives were:

Define terrorism
Identify two different categories of terrorism
Name three methods terrorist groups use
Know what to do in the event of a terror attack

Today a strength of mine has been using previous knowledge of binary code to help me in the lesson.

A weakness of mine has been something.

Today I learnt about the four main types of control systems and also a bit about terrorism.

Today has been good as I have understood what we are learning and it ends early so yay.

Up coming deadline U20A1T1 due on the 15/09/2017 and U26A1T1 due on the 14/09/2017 and U24A1T1 is due 19/09/2017.

Lesson 1: 

Lesson Aim:Introduction to the unit, what is expected of students, what they will learn etc.Test pre-unit knowledge via completion of intro surveyIntroduce concept of event driven programming paradigm; learners to understand basics of EDP.
Learn about researching topics, picking out the important information.
Learning Outcomes:Research the topic of Event Driven Programming.
Learn about the NXT Mindstorms platform Implement a simple program to control the LEGO robot
Implement an intermediate program that controls the LEGO robot
Implement a program that utilities 1 or more sensors on the LEGO robot

Aim:
Describe the relationship between matrices and computer programme arrays.
Objectives:
Be able to construct a matrix from given information.
Use correct terminology to describe a matrix.
Write at least two matrices in chosen programming language.
Perform matrix addition and multiplication.
Perform scalar multiplication.

Today a strength of mine was learning the basics of NXC. Another strength of mine was learning how to add, subtract, multiply and make matrices.

Today a weakness of mine was taking a while to get the robot connected to the PC.

Today was fun because we played around with robots and I began to learn a new programming langugae (NXC).

Up coming deadline U20 A1 on the 15th of Sept and U26A1T1 on the 14th of Sept.

Aim: To complete introduction.

Today I have learnt my login.

A strength I had today was being able to work well in a team.

A weakness I had was not building the egg parachute stable enough.

The thing I would have done differently is make the paper airplane more stream line.
