Aim: Investigate the information and management of information systems used by Amazon

Objectives:
*Consider the information systems Amazon uses.
*Watch the videos and identify how information systems and management of information systems are used.
*Write a brief report explaining how management of information systems can be used.
*Proofread your work and submit.
Another Monday,

This morning our starter was to discuss what information overload is. Me and Jordan concluded that when there is too much information for the system to process, that is when it is overloaded. What you can do to counter it is to increase storage space or upgrade the processing ability. We also discussed what an MIS (management information system) is and have concluded that it is a complex system which inputs prior data generated by other information systems into a visual report for decision making.

Today is all about getting U03_A2T3 and any outstanding work done. Adam showed us two different videos about Amazon and how it uses information systems to manage its workload. This was interesting because I could apply it to my assignment and write in more detail. I also used the book and Internet research for additional help. After completing U03_A2T3, I submitted this and worked on anything I did not understand for Maths. A strength of today was to be able to work efficiently throughout the time given.

Later on, Emily came up to help me with the comments I was stuck on for the resubmission of U26_A4T1, T2 and T3. I found her help to be really effective. A weakness is not being as independent as I wanted but I am slowly taking this as a learning curve. Emily helped me a lot on the Maths and now I understand exactly what I need to do. I will also revise and prepare for the mock test for conversion of hexadecimal, denary, binary and octal.

I also worked on U03_A2T2 and T3 resubmissions right after submitting, which was also a good accomplishment. In addition to this, Adam did explain to me what I need to do for U03_A3T1 but I will most likely start when I am finished with other outstanding work. Today has been very successful.
