The graph shown above is an example of a bad graph. First of all there was no need to model it in 3d as it has only 1 x and 1 y axis and by modelling it in 3d it makes it look much more confusing because it is in 3d, an example here is Pliers during the feb- march period user will have a hard time looking at the graph due to the overlapping lines.

If this graph was modeled in 2d it would take less time for a user to understand the graph

Weel 2 - 2.3 - Team

What makes a good team? A good team consist of team members who are willing to commit and put the team as priority before themselves. For a team to be successful , communication is one of the most important thing, team members will need to be communicate with each other and give feedback and from there form a mutual understanding on what the goal and the problems that the team will face.

Team decisions should be made by votes or mutual agreement. Work should be distributed equally and based on the team member's ability to finish the task. That is what makes a good team.

Week 2- 2.1 - Database Conversion

This week's task is fairly hard as knowledge about database is needed such as normalization which i'm dont really recall. Had to do some revising and some reading to get back the idea on the normalization and data dependency.

Another hard part is actually reading the database spreadsheet and understanding the relations between the data and to see which data to be used for a certain query in the database.

The task seems realistic enough as we would have to manage database like this in the real world and even more complicated database exist in the real world.

Week 1

The power of relational database standards.

I had no problems accessing the Grocery Database using Microsoft access , it was explained thoroughly in the lecture and the videos on moodle helped too. From what i understand , OBDC is a open connection which allows user to access a database and microsoft access is a database client which we use to access the database. I know database can be imported to excel but i reckon its only for read only purposes. It is still best to use database based softwares to make changes to a database something like Mysql.
