While I am off...

*TEST POSTPONED UNTIL I RETURN*

You have one week to produce a 2000 word Report on the following topic:
Compare and Contrast (in terms of features, functions, advantages, disadvantages, costs) 3 different options for each listed below:
  • Operating System
  • Antivirus Software
  • Firewall
  • Anti-Spyware
You should explain each term above, identifying why is important for a user before describing the different options available.
Write up your comparison as a Report (Title, Table of Contents, Header & Footer, Section Headings, Captions on images, use text boxes & arrows to label screenshots, use tables & bullet points appropriately, fully justified text, page numbers etc).

You must include information from a source other than the internet. Ask Seamus or Andrew in the school library to be shown the Computing books / magazines where you can photocopy articles to use for your report.

At the end of the Report include an Appendix section.
This should include:
  • a list of all websites you downloaded information from, along with the date you visited the site.
  • a screenshot of how you used Spellcheck to correct any mistakes in your report.
  • a photocopy of material from your additional source (e.g. magazine, book etc)
  • How you used Word Count to check your report (work it out yourself!).
Your Report must be at least 2000 words & be written in YOUR OWN WORDS.
It must be printed off & spiral bound (ask Mrs O'Carolan /Mrs Foster for help) for Monday 8th (for the START of class - hint: have it printed and bound on Friday).
