Week 4 Lecture
In todays lecture we had carried in from last weeks lecture week 3 on managing infrustructers and services and also started on digital businesses and its environments , the lecture was pretty interesting in terms of how we were taught methods in order to manage a business which was explained well by Bilal Haider, We were also introduced to e-commerce towards the end of the lecture and also spoke about storage such as Google. We were also introduced to micro-environment and online marketplace analysis. It was an interesting lecture and I learnt a lot in this lecture.
Week 4 Seminar
In todays seminar we were given 4 questions to answer in Excel using the IF formula again, This was done using excel and helped me enhance my knowledge on this formula even more. Today I was able to use the IF formula without the help of the teacher or students and managed to complete all 4 questions on my own. We were also introduced to the VlookUp formula towards the end of the seminar which we will be carrying on further next week. Finally to end the seminar we were told to write our blog on what we did in the lecture and seminar
After the seminar we got together as a group to talk about the group work briefly and what steps we were going to take each week, we got to know each other more within the group and we decided that we would meet up every Friday before or after the seminar. We also created a whats app group in order to stay in contact with each other as we felt this was the best form of communication.

Management and information systems week 3
Week 3:
Lecture:
In todays lecture we had 2 guest speakers coming in, in order to discuss about the presentation which we will be doing as a group. The assignment will be based on a live business case (Bizzie Bodies) that we were shown and we will need to analyse the problems the business is having using IS solutions. The business that we will be analysing was also introduced to us which will help us start on our group coursework. We also learnt about managing infrastructures and services during this lecture. We learnt about the internet and issues of managing an IS infrastructure
Seminar:
In the seminar today we first started off by answering some questions as a group about business case and an analyst of a business, we then had to present our answers to a class and discuss them, thereafter we then got into our groups to discuss which role each individual will undertake. After this we had started our excel sheets and learnt about the Formulas "IF" and "AVERAGE" and made an excel sheet.
This helped us improve our excel knowledge and helped us improve on our formulas. To end the seminar we had finished off by writing about our lecture and seminar.
Overall today we learnt a lot and was able to get a better glimpse about the group coursework in order to help us in the future and we were shown the business we will be analysing
In todays lecture I was put into my group with another 4 boys for the group coursework as I was away for the other two weeks. The boys filled me in about what the coursework was about and what we have to do as a group.
