My blog

Today I learned more about the physical and software requirements for computer systems within the context of the business environment. I did a good job writing about this in my assignment. However I did get slightly confused when planning my assignment, this is a weakness of mine that I quickly overcame by immediately requesting assistance from the Learning Support Assistant (LSA) who was present in my classroom. On reflection I feel that I did the best that I could, I must now hand in my A2 assignment for Unit 7 (U7 A2), by 05/02/2020.
