A Cycle

It is cycle or a path where the data goes in a computer. It shows how the different part of the hardware works.

Farewell Computer Science 1

                First of all, i want to thank our teacher for teaching us the things and some facts that he know in computer science. Thank you for giving us experiences about computer science.
It was a great journey being with you.

                Computer Science 1 is one of the best subjects. It taught me many new things. I even learned how to create a virus because of advance studying. Computer Science talks about technology which is needed to be improved. It will help our country to be better. Even if i am not good in computer I will try my best to excel in this subject.
 
       

A Complicated Cycle

Honestly I didn't understand this. Some of the terms is still unfamiliar to me.

The worst time of my life in Pisay.

When I got sick I felt very frustrated, as I said I should always be present. The time when I was absent our topic was repairing hardware which I want to experience. They said it was done by group, by pair? I don't have any idea because I was absent. It was a big loss, I didn't learn anything.

about software

The two types of Software:

• system software 
• the one in charge in managing, controlling and maintaining computer resources. 
• application software
• designed and created to perform specific personal, business, scientific processing tasks. 

Mainframe Computer

A very large and expensive computer capable of supporting hundreds, or even thousands of users simultaneously. In the hierarchy that starts with a simple microprocessor (in watches, for example) at the bottom and moves to supercomputers at the top, mainframes are just below supercomputers. In some ways, mainframes are more powerful than supercomputers because they support more simultaneous programs. But supercomputers can execute a single program faster than a mainframe. The distinction between small mainframes and minicomputers is vague.

Mini Computer

A midsize computer. In size and power, minicomputers lie between workstations and mainframes. In the past decade, the distinction between large minicomputers and small mainframes has blurred, however, as has the distinction between small minicomputers and workstations. But in general, a minicomputer is a multiprocessing system capable of supporting from 4 to about 200 users simultaneously.

Computer System

One of our lessons is computer system which is easy to understand. When you say computer system, you are also talking about hardware and software. The combination of hardware and software makes the computer system function but it might look like that the computer system is responsible why hardware and software works, sometimes it is very complicated. Hardware consists input and output device, CPU, and memory while Software consists the operating system and applications.

                                         

The Last Adventure in Computer Science 1

This is the last quarter, after all the hard works we have had, at least we are closer to success, and we are closer to a new kind of adventure; we are closer to grade 8. In this quarter computer science will be harder, more advance and will have less basic computer science. Our first session is the introduction of our lessons to the fourth grading. The lessons were quiet interesting which makes me to be excited. After I heard the lessons I realized that I should be always present because there are activities like repairing a hardware which can be easier to understand if it would be self-learned.

More Charts

Charts

There are different charts. We were taught the pie chart column chart, line chart, bar charts and area charts. It represents different kinds of information. Some are comparisons and some are representations of data in different ways. There was also a practical exam for this topic. It is not so hard it was just easy.

Example: Column chart

Macros

We learned many things about macros. There was a practical exam about macros. In making some macros you only need to be careful because if not careful and you might press some keys that are not needed in the macros which you are going to make. It will result to a different or can be a bad result.

Different Reference Types

 There are three different reference types. First is relative then absolute and the mixed. These three have different purposes. It has unique characteristics. A dollar sign is use to complete the actions of the absolute and mixed references.

Cell Reference

We discussed many things about Cell Reference because it is one of the basic things to know to make excel easier to be used and just like a step to be more advanced in excel. Something about “cell and range” was discussed, it can be known by many users of excel because people with common sense can absolutely recognize these ranges of cells. We were also taught by the different cool tips but the reference types are more important. If you know the difference of the reference types it will make your using of excel easier, auto fill is the thing involved in this.

Logical Operations

There are three logical operators “and”, “or” and “not”. These three has different functions. Our teacher made a table from the operators.

Conditional Formatting

This seems hard because it's "Conditional" but it wasn't that hard than I expected. It's just a right term for "designing a cell" or "making a cell more awesome". I think that conditional formatting is just an introduction to the more advanced Microsoft excel. It is just easy to understand you can even learn this in minutes. Only a few things are to learn at conditional formatting but there are already some formulas to use.

Functions and Formulas

So this is one of the most complicated things to learn in Microsoft Excel. It gave me a hard time in the activities. Good thing that the time given to us was long enough to finish the given activities. Formulas are not hard it just needs time because it just need common sense and only memorizing the operators are important but function is also not hard it just need time to complete it, functions are long even if for only simple things.

“Microsoft Excel”

 Learning Microsoft Excel, how long will it take?

I think it will take for some few days to learn this.

Trying to understand excel just for my sake.

Even if this is complicated I’m only at ease.

Worksheet is the page where you work on.

Column, used to identify the cells position.

This is only the start known as “the introduction”.

But this is so complicated just like fraction.

Spreadsheets for Data Analysis

We were introduce further to Microsoft Excel. "Spreadsheets for Data Analysis" this was our topic for this quarter. Though Microsoft excel is a basic topic to learn in Computer Science, I realized that this is important to be explored further because this is very useful. At first I thought that Microsoft Excel is not a complicated thing to be learned but it wasn't that easy. When Excel was taught to us some of things that was discussed were new to me. Some tips or easier ways are taught to us on how to manage Excel.
