PREFACE

“A Student’s workbook for COMPUTER STUDIES For Schools and Colleges”

has been compiled to assist learners prepare for Computer Studies and Subsidiary
ICT Practical examinations. This workbook contains a series of exercises targeting
particular package skills that have been collected and moderated by a number of
seasoned teachers. Some exercises are a true reflection of students’ practice yet others
a teacher’s original expression.

Users of this workbook should remember that each instruction requires one to
demonstrate a skill asked for. For example, double underline the first paragraph. In
this case, a user has to demonstrate knowledge of double underlining. It is important
that each instruction is attempted before moving on. A user who skips an instruction
means he / she is dropping marks along the way.

I therefore give confidence to users of this workbook to always consult where

possible from instructors, teachers, fellow students so as to complete each instruction
fully.

I am pretty confident that this workbook shall enable computer users accustom to
necessary computer literacy skills. For any query, advice or contribution, kindly refer

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO USERS

To understand and memorize the following package exercises, remember these

golden instructions:

a) Use a correct application e.g. word-processing exercises, use any word processing
application e.g. Ms. Word.

b) Avoid using self-help wizard for any application.

c) Save your work after every five minutes.

d) Attempt instructions in sequence i.e. from the first to the last but not last to first or
any other orders you would prefer.

e) Eject your storage medium after successfully completing a day’s work. Do not
eject midway saving because this can damage your drive and storage device.

f) While using a CD – ROM Recordable, consider using a Window’s writing wizard

or a professional CD writing software like Nero with multisession writing to
enable you add other files on a CD-R.

g) Do not move your storage device to various machines, stick to one machine and
remember to virus scan and update the antivirus program.

h) Do not share your storage device with other users.

i) Avoid using old storage devices, you will be disappointed!

MYTHS ABOUT COMPUTER PRACTICAL EXAMS

Many candidates have expressed fears and false belief about computer studies
practical exams. Some of which include:

a) When one uses office 2007 and above, the work looks professional and fetches
more marks than lower versions.

b) Examination time is not enough to enable a candidate complete the paper.

c) When you save your work on a flash disc, it will show that you are modern.

d) When you save a shortcut, that file will open on another computer.

e) A Compact disc Recordable can be used only once. One can’t write onto it another
time.

f) Ms. Power point fetches more marks if you use many effects.

g) Database and spreadsheets are difficult. No one can obtain total marks if he / she
attempted them.

h) Word processing and presentations are obvious applications.

i) A difficult instruction will attract a free mark.

j) Older versions of office cannot open in newer versions.

k) Computer practical does not require notes and practice, it is inborn.

l) A slow candidate can never finish the exam.

All these and more are wrong. Learn better practices that will enable you pass this
paper very well. These false beliefs do not exist in this paper. The only SECRET is,
“DO A LOT OF PRACTICE”.

TOPICAL EXERCISES:

1. Key in the following text as it appears using a word processing application of your
choice and save it as ‘internet’.

“Internet”, “World Wide Web”, and “web page” are no longer the buzzwords now.
They are now a reality. The internet is the world’s largest computer network and is
referred to as the network of networks. One of the subsets of the internet is the World
Wide Web. The World Wide Web contains a number of web servers scattered across
the world. The web servers contain the information that a user from anywhere in the
world can access. The information is available I the form of web pages.

A network is a group of computers connected to each other. The internet is a network

of networks. The transmission control protocol / internet protocol (TCP/IP) provides
the bindings that connect the computers over the world.

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a subset of the internet. It was initially started as a
government research project at the CERN laboratories in Switzerland. Today, it
provides information to the users worldwide. The WWW is based on three
mechanisms that are used to make resources that is:

 Protocols
 Addresses and
 HTML.
Instructions:

a) Copy your work below your text and apply the following instructions on it.

b) Format the text into three columns.

c) Drop cap the first characters in each paragraph to allow dropping to 3 lines with 0
distance from text.

d) Change the drop capped characters to font colour red.

e) Change text alignment to justify.

f) At the top of the top, insert a heading, “the internet”, well centred in font size 18
double underlined.

g) Insert a footer to include your name and index number.

h) Print two copies of your work.

2. Using a word processing application program of your choice, key in the following
text as it appears and save it as ‘leader’.

Are you a manager or a leader? Your boss needs to know

It's funny but as I prepare to move to the next phase of my career I find myself
evaluating people that work for me more than ever. Clearly every organisation has a
need for managers and leaders but recognizing each and using them effectively is
truly a skill. How do you know the difference? My friend Vineet Nayar wrote it
better than I ever could:

Counting Value vs Creating Value. You're probably counting value, not adding it, if
you're managing people. Only managers count value; some even reduce value by
disabling those who add value. If a diamond cutter is asked to report every 15
minutes how many stones he has cut, by distracting him, his boss is subtracting value.

By contrast, leaders focus on creating value, saying: "I'd like you to handle A while I
deal with B." He or she generates value over and above that which the team creates,
and is as much a value-creator as his or her followers are. Leading by example and
leading by enabling people are the hallmarks of action-based leadership.

Circles of Influence vs Circles of Power. Just as managers have subordinates and

leaders have followers, managers create circles of power while leaders create circles
of influence.

The quickest way to figure out which of the two you're doing is to count the number
of people outside your reporting hierarchy who come to you for advice. The more
that do, the more likely it is that you are perceived to be a leader.

Leading People vs Managing Work. Management consists of controlling a group or a

set of entities to accomplish a goal. Leadership refers to an individual's ability to
influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward organizational success.
Influence and inspiration separate leaders from managers, not power and control.

In India, M.K. Gandhi inspired millions of people to fight for their rights, and he
walked shoulder to shoulder with them so India could achieve independence in 1947.
His vision became everyone's dream and ensured that the country's push for
independence was unstoppable. The world needs leaders like him who can think
beyond problems, have a vision, and inspire people to convert challenges into
opportunities, a step at a time.

I encouraged my colleague to put this theory to the test by inviting his team-mates for
chats. When they stop discussing the tasks at hand — and talk about vision, purpose,
and aspirations instead, that's when you will know you have become a leader.

3. Using a suitable word processing application program of your choice, key in the
following data and save your document as ‘tomatoes’.

Tomato growing

Growing your own tomatoes is simple – just a couple of plants will reward you with
plenty of sweet-tasting tomatoes in the summer. There are all kinds of tomatoes to try
– from the tiniest cherry types that are favourites with children, through to full-
flavored giant beefsteak tomatoes. And tomatoes come in all kinds of colours too –
red, of course, but also green and orange, even purple tomatoes or striped tomatoes.
Tomato plants can be cordon varieties that need staking and tying in, bush varieties,
and there are even tomato plants designed to grow in hanging baskets.

Tomatoes generally come in two different types: cordon (or indeterminate) tomatoes
grow tall (can reach up 2m/6ft) and require staking; bush (or determinate) tomatoes
are bushy, and don’t require staking.

Tomatoes are very easy to grow from seed. Start them off indoors, using a propagator
or place the pots in a plastic bag and keep on the windowsill. You can sow seed from
late March to early April if you will be growing the plants outdoors. If you are
planning on growing your tomatoes in a greenhouse, you can start sowing seed
earlier, from late February; sow from mid-January to early February (heated
greenhouse) or late February to mid-March (unheated greenhouse).

5. Using a word processing application of your choice, key in the following data as it
is and save it as ‘menu’.

Menu

A menu is a list of items that are sold in a hotel or restaurant bearing a unit price for
each. Hotels today provide lots of foodstuff to visitors. All the options are later
transformed into a list of items sold their. Some big hotels give free drinks to visitors
on arrival as a tool of welcome and public relations.

Each hotel has its format of a menu card. Some hotels even include items that they do
not even prepare and if asked, the obvious answer is ‘it is finished’. To sum it up all,
a menu helps the visitor to choose the best possible choice of items he / she needs to
consume. Below is an extract of a menu designed by ‘KamuKamu Restaurant,’

6. Using a word processing application of your choice typeset the following text as it
appear and save it as ‘escape key’.

The Esc key has long been the “get me outta here” panacea for many things:
canceling a dialog box, getting rid of a button-less splash screen, closing a menu that
you clicked open. (Esc is, after all, short for "escape.") But those are only the obvious
things. Here’s a handful of less-than-obvious but just-as-handy solutions the Esc key
provides.

Take a shortcut back to your original application

You press Command-Tab to switch to another application, pressing Tab several times
(or just holding it down) because you’re moving to a program that’s far away on the
Application Switcher’s bar. You get halfway across the line of program icons and
realize—whoops!—you forgot to copy the material that you wanted to bring with
you. Use the awkward Command-Shift-Tab to move backwards? Use the more
convenient Command-tilde (~), still pressing the key repeatedly? No! While the
Command key is still down, press Esc to return to the program you were working in
before the premature press of Command-Tab.

Erase and get out of the Spotlight menu

If you want to erase what you’ve typed in the Spotlight menu's search field, you don’t
have to tediously delete it a character at a time: press Esc to instantly wipe the field
clean so you can start again. The Spotlight menu often stores what you last typed in it
unless you erase it so that you can make a second choice from the results list. If your
search was fruitless—or mistaken—it’s a good idea to erase the contents of the field
before you close the menu so you can start fresh on a new search. Press Esc twice:
once to erase the field, and a second time to close it.

Hide your browser cursor

For a relatively tiny thing, the mouse cursor can be an annoying distraction when it
happens to be in the wrong spot on your screen while you’re viewing a Web page.
It’s like a fly landing on your TV screen. Whether you’re in Apple’s
Safari or Mozilla Firefox, press Esc and the cursor disappears instantly, cooperatively
reappearing as soon as you move the mouse.

Preparing for Your Examinations

most of your revision time and keep those nerves under control. It’s important to
remember that an examination is a test of learning, not memory. Examiners want to
see evidence that you have drawn on your knowledge to develop a reasoned
argument, rather than replicate course notes and textbook facts. Revision should be a

Chinese abacus has 2 beads in the top section over the horizontal bar and 5 beads
in the lower section, for each "column". The upper row beads could each represent
one hand. The lower columns could represent the 10 fingers.

The earliest counting devices known to man were his own hands and fingers. If
that wasn't enough, things in nature were used like shells, twigs, pebbles, stones,
and so forth. It is a good idea to think about the history of arithmetic,
mathematics, writing and recorded information. Man's invention of the computer

after reading through a number of references. Today, textbooks are very expensive to
find and read. This is partly because, many parents cannot afford or we students have
inadequate reading skills.

Schools maintain a library where selected titles are kept for students to borrow and
read. In my school, students can complete their assignments, exercises in good time
because the library is equipped with necessary books.

We students have little respect for material. Some tear away pages; others drop the
books on the floor carelessly. A small fraction of students have gone ahead to steal
school books at the end, we suffer dangers of having inadequate reference material.

appears and save as your name.

Water is a chemical substance with the chemical formula H2O. Its molecule contains
one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid
at ambient conditions, but it often co-exist on earth with its solid state, ice, and
gaseous state (water vapor or steam). Water also exists in a liquid crystal state near
hydrophilic surface.
Water covers 70.9% of the earth’s surface, and is vital for all known forms of life. On
earth, it is found mostly in oceans and other large water bodies, with 1.6% of water
below ground in aquifers and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of solid and
liquid water particles suspended in air), and precipitation. Oceans hold 97% of
surface water, glaciers and polar ice caps 2.4%, and other land surface water such as
rivers, lakes and ponds 0.6%. A very small amount of the earth’s water is contained
within biological bodies and manufactured products.
Water on earth moves continually through a cycle of evaporation or transpiration
(evapotranspiration), precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea. Over head
evaporation and transpiration contribute to the precipitation over land.

people are paying for not taking action”.

However, Ditch says the energy crisis is localized meaning that some areas
have been hit by the scarcity, while others have in abundance.

To cope with the crises, some people especially low income earners now buy
cooked food from the evening roadside markets.

18. Using a word processor of your choice, type the following document exactly as it
is and save as ‘computer virus article’

A man who admitted infecting thousands of computers across the world with fast –
spreading viruses has been jailed for two years. Simon Vallor, 22, created a virus at
his home in Llandudno, North Wales, and released them on the internet.

The ‘mass – mailer’ viruses were sent as e-mails that would corrupt data on the
computer’s hard drive when they were opened. In addition, the viruses were
automatically sent to everyone on the computer’s address book.

On Tuesday, the 22 year old DJ and web designer was sentenced at London‘s
Southwark Crown Court to two years for each of three offences, to run
concurrently. Valor admitted three charges of writing and releasing computer
viruses onto the internet on or before 14 February last year. Vellor did not react as
the sentence was announced and was led down the cells. Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC
said the jail term was a deterrent to others and reflected the serious nature of the
crime.

“People who commit such offences are not just computer buffs or nerds sitting
alone in their bedrooms obsessed with their computers”

“They also happened to be criminals who are difficult to detect, as they well
know”

“His sentence reflects the severity of his crime and it’s reassuring to computer
users in the UK Courts are treating cybercriminals on a par with more traditional
offenders”.

Vellor is thought to have seized up 27,000 computers and caused mayhem in 42

countries with viruses dubbed Gokar, admirer of the Rede si. Judge Rivlin said
Goka was probably the least destructive virus but the most disruptive, with
messages sent to then of thousands in 40 countries Vallor told police he had not
intended to do any harm.

Taxes hindering internet penetration

The sale of internet and non- internet enabled phone devices is curtailed by exercise
duty and value added tax levy, a leading handset vendor said last week. Huawei
Technologies, a Chinese firm that has so far sold 30,000 Android powered handsets
that enable mobile phone users to access internet, explained that the figure would be
higher even for basic handsets if there was no tax levied.

While this has boosted internet penetration, the figure is still too small compared to
Kenya where close to 20,000 handset devices have been sold through the different
vendors.

Kenya scrapped VAT on mobile phones about two years ago.

“The problem is brought about by VAT and import duty” said Steven Zhang, the
Huawei Technologies Terminal Sales Director.

27. Using a word processor of your choice, key in the following text as it appears and
save as ‘ram_for_microprocessors’

The main type of memory and the most familiar to users is random access memory
(RAM). RAM is the same as main memory. A computer can both write data into
RAM and read data from RAM. Every time a user turns on his or her computer, a
set of operating instructions is copied from the hard disk into RAM. These
instructions, which help control basic computer functions, remain in RAM until
the computer is turned off.

Most RAM is volatile, which means that it requires a steady flow of electricity to
maintain its contents. As soon as the power is turned off, whatever data was in
RAM disappears. The contents of RAM are necessary for the computer to process
data. The results of the processing are kept temporarily in RAM until they are
needed again or until they are saved onto the hard disk or other storage device.

Today the storage capacity of RAM is measured in megabytes (MB). PCs

(microcomputers) typically have between 128 and 512 MB of RAM, which means
they can hold between 128 and 512 million bytes of data (a standard A4 page of
text typically holds about 2,000 bytes or characters of text).

a) Save your work.

b) Copy and paste this work on page four of your work.

 lOMoARcPSD|28309529

decline of punch cards and paper tape, interaction via teletype-style keyboards
became the main input device for computers.

Despite the development of alternative input devices, such as the mouse, touch
screen, pen devices, character recognition and voice recognition, the keyboard
remains the most commonly used and most versatile device used for direct (human)
input into computers.

A keyboard typically has characters engraved or printed on the keys and each press of
a key typically corresponds to a single written symbol. However, to produce some
symbols requires pressing and holding several keys simultaneously or in sequence.
While most keyboard keys produce letters, numbers or signs (characters), other keys
or simultaneous key presses can produce actions or computer commands.

31. Using a word processing application of your choice typeset the following text as it
is and save as ‘digital_divide”. Carry out the instructions below.

Across Africa, new information technologies are rapidly changing the lives of a small
but growing number of people. In rural Togo a farmer gets real-time information on
market prices in the capital, Lomé, through a cellular phone. In Accra, Ghana,
entrepreneurs who in the past were not able to get a dial tone on their land-line
telephones can now connect immediately using Internet telephony, technology that
allows phone calls to be made through the Internet. And in Niger, the Bankilare
Community Information Centre downloads audio programmes from the African
Learning Channel and rebroadcasts them on local radio.

So far, these are some of the few, fortunate Africans. For most people even making a
telephone call is still a remote possibility in an era when most of the world is now
communicating almost instantly across cities, regions and the globe using wireless
and satellite technologies to send high-speed electronic messages.

Africa has the fewest telephone lines, radios, television sets, computers and Internet
users of any part of the world. These tools, used to package and transmit information
and knowledge, are broadly referred to as information and communications
technologies (ICTs). The gap between those with access to ICTs and those without is
generally referred to as the "digital divide." It is most extreme in Africa, where in
33
Downloaded by Home Tution service ([email protected])
 lOMoARcPSD|28309529

2001, out of 800 million people, only 1 in 4 had a radio, 1 in 13 a television set, 1 in
40 a telephone and 1 out of 130 a computer. The divide widens in Africa's
countryside, where a lack of roads, telephone lines and electricity separates the rural
majority from their urban counterparts.

Bridging the digital divide

"The digital gap brings with it a danger of isolating certain peoples, those in Africa in
particular," says Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade. "It is paradoxical and ironic
that the continent which invented writing . . . [is] excluded from universal
knowledge." In December, President Wade will be popularizing his "digital
solidarity" programme at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) to be
held in Geneva, Switzerland. Under the programme, technologically advanced
nations would commit to assisting poorer ones. A country can express solidarity, for
example, by signing onto a digital charter committing itself to "a specified, quantified
action for the benefit of countries where the rate [of Internet access] is lower than a
given level," explains President Wade. A digital solidarity fund should be set up to
pay for ICT projects in poor countries, he says, financed by "raising large amounts of
money collected painlessly because the contributions are so small." Levies of one US
cent could be charged on every international call or one dollar on the purchase of
each personal computer or software package.

"The digital gap brings with it a danger of isolating certain peoples, those in Africa in
particular."

33. Key in the following text as it appears and save as ‘triangle’.

A triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry: a polygon with three corners or
vertices and three sides or edges which are line segments. A triangle with vertices A,
B, and C is denoted ∆ ABC.

In Euclidean geometry any three non-collinear points determine a unique triangle and
a unique plane (i.e. a two-dimensional Euclidean space).
Triangles can be classified according to the relative lengths of their sides:

In an equilateral triangle all sides have the same length. An equilateral triangle is also
a regular polygon with all angles measuring 60°.

In an isosceles triangle, two sides are equal in length. An isosceles triangle also has
two angles of the same measure; namely, the angles opposite to the two sides of the
same length; this fact is the content of the Isosceles triangle theorem. Some
mathematicians define an isosceles triangle to have exactly two equal sides, whereas
others define an isosceles triangle as one with at least two equal sides. The latter
definition would make all equilateral triangles isosceles triangles. The 45-45-90 Right
Triangle, which appears in the Tetrakis square tiling, is isosceles.

34. Using a word processing application, key in the following text as it appears and
save as ‘compact disc’.

The Compact Disc (also known as a CD) is an optical disc used to store digital data.
It was originally developed to store and playback sound recordings exclusively, but
later expanded to encompass data storage (CD-ROM), write-once audio and data
storage (CD-R), rewritable media (CD-RW), Video Compact Discs (VCD), Super
Video Compact Discs (SVCD), PhotoCD, PictureCD, CD-i, and Enhanced CD.
Audio CDs and audio CD players have been commercially available since October
1982.

Standard CDs have a diameter of 120 millimetres (4.7 in) and can hold up to 80
minutes of uncompressed audio or 700 MB (700 × 220 bytes) of data. The Mini CD
has various diameters ranging from 60 to 80 millimetres (2.4 to 3.1 in); they are
sometimes used for CD singles, storing up to 24 minutes of audio or delivering
device drivers.

CD-ROMs and CD-Rs remain widely used technologies in the computer industry.
The CD and its extensions are successful: in 2004, worldwide sales of CD audio, CD-
ROM, and CD-R reached about 30 billion discs. By 2007, 200 billion CDs had been
sold worldwide. Compact Discs are increasingly being replaced or supplemented by
other forms of digital distribution and storage, such as downloading and flash drives,
with audio CD sales dropping nearly 50% from their peak in 2000.

Advertising

Businessmen need to make their products known to customers. In doing so, each
business man chooses a suitable medium is selected. To select a medium to advertise,
a businessman studies a number of factors that includes cheapness of the medium.

Today, many schools have made serious and beautiful signposts to advertise. The
select catching words included on the signpost to augment product superiority, for
example; ‘A four star institution’. Some use modern equipment to make modern
billboards that are placed in appropriate areas in the city centre.

In the countryside, schools still prefer using wood to design a sign post. A signpost
looks like the specimen below:

"And then there are those people who are just very ineffective communicators and
maybe they need help communicating. And I don't know if a mediator, this neutral
person whose goal is to get an agreement, is the right person there."

Mr Stutman is also keen to stress that, as with any situation, the parties should feel
comfortable that their lawyer is competent.

"That doesn't mean you throw the baby out with the bathwater," he says.
"I think that there are many people who could probably do well with this kind of a
process, and if someone has figured out a way to harness cloud technology to buffer
the discussion in some way or guide the discussion, I think that's wonderful.

"I am not threatened by it. I don't think any practicing lawyer would be threatened by
it, or should be threatened by it, because I don't think it is meant to take the place of
what lawyers do."

The law has traditionally been slow to embrace new technology, meaning there is
huge potential for start-ups in the profession. Silicon Valley seems to agree -
Wevorce is backed by influential seed accelerator Y Combinator.

The Stanford Centre for Legal Informatics (CodeX), a joint venture between the
university's law school and computer science department, is another factor to
consider, and is behind some of the most successful start-ups aiming to capitalise
on the gap.

Wevorce recently expanded from being available in only a select group of US cities,
to being available across the country. The company has already fielded requests from
other countries.

For Ms Crosby, the most important indicator of success is their clients.

"We've worked with over a hundred families, and kept all but one out of court, which
we are really proud of, because it really allows the families to get back to parenting
and not stuck in this difficult transition."

"I remember being asked by one of the lawyers: If you are stranded on a desert
island which parent would you choose to live with?"
Michelle Crosby was just nine years old when she had to stand in a court room and
tell a judge which parent she wanted to live with, a heart-breaking choice for a small
girl to have to make in the most adult of environments.

Divorce is considered to be the second most stressful life event most of us will ever
go through. For children especially, it can seem like the end of the world.
"I had a clear insight that this is a very broken space. And that moment became the
catalyst for me knowing that I wanted to go to law school and I wanted to fix it," she
says.
"I wanted to make sure that there are no other kids that get put in that position."

It takes two

She became a lawyer, working with families in the same situation she had found
herself in.
Thirteen years on, she decided the time had come to go it alone and to try to make the
process more collaborative and less painful.

After studying mediation training at Harvard, Ms Crosby put her ideas into practice
working with families in Boise, Idaho.

"I self-funded it for a few years and watched quite a few families through it. I realised
we had something, and then we started to realise that we had identified archetypes,"
she says.
"Even though lawyers were typically treating each case as unique, I could clearly see
the patterns."

The final piece of the puzzle was the technology.

 lOMoARcPSD|28309529

"In this day and age, where most of us live with iPhones and iPads, there is no reason
why we can't be using these existing technologies to help [families] through this
transition.
"So many of the conflicts that happen with families are caused by lawyer
miscommunication, or something getting stuck on someone's desk or in a court
process."

Digital divide

The result was Wevorce.com. It is a software service that is accessible from

anywhere that has an internet connection - so your smartphone, tablet or laptop -
because it is held in the cloud.

The six-step programme guides families through decisions relating to finances,

property, and most importantly, the children.
Couples are screened to make sure this is right for them - where there has been
domestic violence or abuse, for example, this would not be appropriate.
The next step is the creation of an amicable divorce roadmap, working with a legal
architect - an attorney qualified to deal with family mediation - and other experts if
need be.

"If they don't have a lot of complicated assets [and] they seem to be fairly amicable,
they may only need three in-person meetings and they can do most of it online," says
Ms Crosby.

"If they have a really large, complicated financial estate, they may need more
meetings and it may take a little bit more time."
Because the aim is to keep parties out of the courts, and because of the efficiencies
the technology offers, the company says fees range from $3,000 to $15,000, a
considerable saving.

Couples are also provided with customised educational materials - videos, games or
text - that work through different situations, including the realities of co-parenting.
"For example, if one child asks you whether they can get their ears pierced, is that
something that you both need to decide together, or is it something that you are okay
with one parent deciding?

"The court may not really care, but you as a co-parent are definitely going to care
about it. Because the number one source of conflict comes from someone making a
decision that someone else thought they had the ability to weigh in on."

The other role of the technology is as a virtual case manager.

"Most attorneys have boxes and boxes of paper, and it requires three touches by the
attorney, the paralegal and the assistant," says Ms Crosby.

"This technology allows everyone to be seeing where the case is, where it is stuck,
what are the remaining steps that need to be done."

Legal advice

Michael Stutman is a partner at global law firm Mishcon de Reya. He is head of their
New York office's family practice, has written a book on divorce and is the current
president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, New York Chapter.

"People when they are in the midst of this stuff are disabled in many ways," he says.
"They are like deer looking at headlights. And they do need people to help them
become aware of the options that are available to them."

But this type of approach, like any type of mediation, isn't for everyone according to
Mr Stutman.

"There is a whole class of people that are not suitable to this. Areas where there is
abuse at any level, whether it is physical abuse, whether it is viciousness in terms of
language, whether it is economic bullying, whether it is [emotional abuse], the victim
of that poor behaviour should probably not be placed in a circumstance where they
can continue to be victimised."

"And then there are those people who are just very ineffective communicators and
maybe they need help communicating. And I don't know if a mediator, this neutral
person whose goal is to get an agreement, is the right person there."

Mr Stutman is also keen to stress that, as with any situation, the parties should feel
comfortable that their lawyer is competent.

"That doesn't mean you throw the baby out with the bathwater," he says.
"I think that there are many people who could probably do well with this kind of a
process, and if someone has figured out a way to harness cloud technology to buffer
the discussion in some way or guide the discussion, I think that's wonderful.
"I am not threatened by it. I don't think any practicing lawyer would be threatened by
it, or should be threatened by it, because I don't think it is meant to take the place of
what lawyers do."

The law has traditionally been slow to embrace new technology, meaning there is
huge potential for start-ups in the profession. Silicon Valley seems to agree -
Wevorce is backed by influential seed accelerator Y Combinator.

The Stanford Centre for Legal Informatics (CodeX), a joint venture between the
university's law school and computer science department, is another factor to
consider, and is behind some of the most successful start-ups aiming to capitalise on
the gap.

Wevorce recently expanded from being available in only a select group of US cities,
to being available across the country. The company has already fielded requests from
other countries.

For Ms Crosby, the most important indicator of success is their clients.

"We've worked with over a hundred families, and kept all but one out of court, which
we are really proud of, because it really allows the families to get back to parenting
and not stuck in this difficult transition."

Organizational chart

An organizational chart shows the flow of responsibilities among workers in a

given organization. At a glance, one is able to accurately tell how authority flows
and which offices are used for reporting purposes. Delegation is simple because,
workers know that in absence of the office bearer, they can refer to any other
person in a lower office.
An organizational chart of a small organization can be drawn to represent the
following:

Entrepreneur

Sales Department Purchases Department Accounts Department

Customers

bearers do not understand the operation of teamwork. Many office bearers can
even delegate upwards which is not true if the officer in the above office has less
self esteem.

Exam tips from students

For down-to-earth, hands-on revision help, read these top 10 tips from students
who have been through what you’re going through now.

Create a revision timetable and stick to it! Schedule sensible work slots and
breaks, making sure you have one weekend day when you don't do revision or
think about exams - you'll come back to it refreshed.

Tell your family about your revision time: Your parents won't hassle you if they
find you 'not working', provided you are following your agreed timetable. Parents
only worry and hassle you when they're not sure what you're doing, or if you do
not seem to have a plan. Ask your family for help if you need it. It may help make
them feel useful to you!
50
Downloaded by Home Tution service ([email protected])
 lOMoARcPSD|28309529

Organize your time well to help fulfill your potential: Keep bullet points on crib
cards highlighting main subject theories and use these for quick revision and for
reading during 'dead' times - for example, when you’re waiting for a bus.
Revise in a way that works for you: Some people revise well by listening, so you
could try ‘talking’ your revision and recording it onto your iPod or onto tapes.
Mnemonics (such as initials that spell a word) can help your memory. You can
listen to these recordings while lying in bed, travelling in a car, or walking to the
shops - taking the guilt out of being out and about rather than in front of your
books!

Check your exam details: Know where your exams are and when they start, how
long they are, what equipment you are allowed to take in (for example calculators)
and what you are not allowed to take in (mobiles, notes, etc).

Prepare items needed for the exam the evening before: Make sure you have the
correct equipment needed for your exam (calculators, rulers, etc).
Your exam invigilator should remind you of what you are and aren’t allowed
before the exam starts. Taking unauthorized equipment in can get you disqualified
from the exam.

Remember to eat and sleep! Ensure you eat and sleep properly. Now is not the
time to diet or stay up all night. Have an early night before each exam.

Look after yourself: During the exam period a good routine and healthy eating are
really important. Be sure to cut down on your weekend/evening job; most
employers know that you need to commit time to the exams and revision, but
often try to get you to do extra hours anyway!

On the morning of the exam: Have a good breakfast, stay calm and allow plenty of
time to get to the exam. Remember that you can only do your best and even if you
don't do as well as you'd hoped, your parents still love you just as much!

Instructions:

a) Adjust page margin stops to: Top 1.5 cm, Bottom 1.3 cm, left 1.5 cm and right

Daily Monitor Roving Eye Article:

The handwritten letter in the computer age

For those fortunate enough to have access to a computer both at work and at home, its
screen, keyboard and printer have had a massive effect on handwritten letters and
communications.
So, if you now generally use a computer to write personal letters to family and
friends, what effect does this have when you do choose to write by hand to them?
Let’s consider, in very simple fashion, such a personal handwritten letter and its
variables (underlined below) and take a sample of one – my wife!
The most obvious variable is overall number. My wife tells me that in the early
1990s, she would regularly handwrite four or five letters per week, but that in 2011,
this had fallen to a mere one or two every few months, because of her increased
computer usage.
The next variable is length. Some of her 1990 handwritten letters would be as much
as 10 pages long. Whereas today, with the coming of the computer age, and having
grown used to typing on a keyboard, she can now only manage one or possibly two
handwritten pages before her hand starts to ache. This aching has two effects. Firstly,
the letter is brought to a hasty conclusion, hence its short length. Secondly the quality
of handwriting greatly deteriorates – a clear script at the start and more of a scrawl by
the letter’s end.
Moving to the quality of content, she feels that handwritten letters require more
careful forethought, as without the benefit of computer aids such as spellchecking,

52
Downloaded by Home Tution service ([email protected])
 lOMoARcPSD|28309529

deleting, inserting, cutting and pasting etc., there has to be more consideration about
the letter’s content and composition before putting pen to paper.
Then there is the type of paper to use. Interestingly, my mother-in-law (who lives in
the UK) recently complained that it was becoming increasingly difficult to buy a
small (A5) writing pad, whereas reams of A4 computer printer paper are found in
abundance. How does the situation compare in Uganda?
A sample of one is not a statistical survey. But readers who have computer access at
work and home might wish to go through the variables for personal handwritten
letters underlined above to see if the effect of the new technology is the same or
different than my wife’s experience.

Teaching and Learning with ICT

Why ICT?

Why should schools and teachers work towards increasing the use of ICT in
education? There are two main reasons. Firstly, consider the potential of ICT to
change the nature of work and leisure over the next twenty years. Today’s learners
need to develop the skills which will enable them (and society as a whole) to benefit
from new opportunities offered by ICT. Secondly, there is a growing body of
academic research which demonstrates how ICT enhances the quality of teaching and
learning in schools, and thus contributes to the raising of standards of achievement in
education.

General benefits of ICT in Education

● Greater efficiency throughout the school (Greene et al, 2002)

● Communication channels are increased through email, discussion groups and chat
rooms
● Regular use of ICT across different curriculum subjects can have a beneficial
motivational influence on students’ learning (Cox 1997)

Instructions:

a) Select your data in the range of A1 to H2 and paste in cell K1.

b) In cell L3, write a formula that will return possible grade obtained by each student in
Principle Mathematics given that 75 – 100, 1; 70 – 74, 2; 65 – 69, 3; 60 – 64, 4; 55 –
59, 5; 45 – 54, 6; 40 – 44, 7; 35 – 39, 8 and 0 – 34, 9 respectively.

c) Insert two columns after each principle subject for Average Grade and Score
respectively. Hence, determine the average grade for each candidate in the principle
subject above.

 lOMoARcPSD|28309529

d) Using the weights relative to the average grade for each candidate, attach a weight to
each candidate’s performance given that:

1 – 2.5 = A
2.6 – 3.5 = B
3.6 – 4.5 = C
4.6 – 5.5 = D
5.6 – 7.0 = E
7.1 – 8.0 = O
8.1 – 9.0 = F

However, a candidate that scores grade 9 in one of the subjects and a credit and below, is
awarded grade O.

e) Add a column after CTS for Total Points, hence determine the total points obtained by
each student given that:

A=6
B=5
C=4
D=3
E=2
O=1
F=0

It is held that each candidate that scores credit 6 and below, scores Grade O and F for a
grade between 7 – 9.

Solution:

(a). Grading per paper:

=IF(B3>74,1,IF(B3>69,2,IF(B3>59,3,IF(B3>54,4,IF(B3>49,5,IF(B3>44,6,IF(B3>39,7,IF
(B3>34,8,9))))))))

(b). Score per principle:

=IF(N3<2.6,"A",IF(N3<3.6,"B",IF(N3<4.6,"C",IF(AND(L3<9,M3<9,N2<5.6),"D",IF(AN
D(L3<9,M3<9,N3<6.6),"E",IF(N3<7.6,"O","F"))))))

(c). Adding TOTAL POINTS obtained by each candidate:

=IF(O3="A",6,IF(O3="B",5,IF(O3="C",4,IF(O3="D",3,IF(O3="E",2,IF(O3="O",1,0))))))

Table 1.4: Criterion used in a query

What is a query criterion?

Is a rule that identifies the records that you want to include in the query result (result
set, query result or dynaset).

Introduction to query criteria

A criterion is similar to a formula — it is a string that may consist of field references,
operators, and constants. Query criteria are also referred to as expressions in
Microsoft Office Access 2007.
The following tables show some sample criteria and explains how they work.

Criteria Description
>25 and <50 This criterion applies to a Number field, such as Price or
UnitsInStock. It includes only those records where the
Price or UnitsInStock field contains a value greater

203
Downloaded by Home Tution service ([email protected])
 lOMoARcPSD|28309529

than 25 and less than 50.

DateDiff ("yyyy", This criterion applies to a Date/Time field, such as
[BirthDate], Date()) > BirthDate. Only records where the number of years
30 between a person's birthdate and today's date is
or greater than 30 are included in the query result.
< DateAdd("yyyy", -
30, Date())
Is Null This criterion can be applied to any type of field to show
records where the field value is null.

Criteria for Text, Memo, and Hyperlink fields

The following examples are for the CountryRegion field in a query that is based on a
table that stores contacts information. The criterion is specified in the Criteria row of
the field in the design grid.

Include records

Exactly match a "China" Returns records where the
value, such as CountryRegion field is set to China.

Contain zero- "" (a pair of quotes) Returns records where the field is
length strings set to a blank (but not null) value.
For example, records of sales made
to another department might
contain a blank value in the
CountryRegion field.
Do not contain Not "" Returns records where the
zero-length CountryRegion field has a
strings nonblank value.
Contains null "" Or Is Null Returns records where there is
values or zero- either no value in the field, or the
length strings field is set to a blank value.

more than 10 characters long.
Match a specific Like "Chi??" Returns records for
pattern countries/regions, such as China
and Chile, whose names are five
characters long and the first three
characters are "Chi".
NOTE: The characters ? and _,
when used in an expression,
represent a single character —
these are also called wildcard
characters. The character _ cannot
be used in the same expression with
the ? character, nor can it be used
in an expression with the *
wildcard character. You may use
the wildcard character _ in an
expression that also contains the %
wildcard character.

Criteria for Number, Currency, and AutoNumber fields

The following examples are for the UnitPrice field in a query that is based on a table
that stores products information. The criterion is specified in the Criteria row of the
field in the query design grid.

3. KSpread - following the fork of the Calligra Suite from KOffice in mid-2010,
superseded by KCells in KOffice and Tables in the Calligra Suite.
4. LibreOffice Calc - developed for Windows, Linux, Bsd and Mac operating
systems by The Document Foundation. TDF was formed in mid-2010 by several
large organisations such as Google, RedHat, Canonical (Ubuntu) and Novell along
with the OOo Community (developed by Sun) and various OpenOffice.org forks,
notably Go-oo. Go-oo had been the "OpenOffice" used in Ubuntu and elsewhere.
LibreOffice started as StarOffice in the late 1990s, became OpenOffice under Sun
and then LibreOffice in mid-2010. TDF works with external organisations such as
NeoOffice and Apache Foundation to help drive all 3 products forwards.
5. NeoOffice - for Mac. Started as an OpenOffice.org port to Macs but by using the
Mac-specific Aqua user interface instead of the more widely used X11 windowing
server it aimed to be far more stable than the normal ports of other suites.
6. OpenOffice.org Calc - for Windows, Linux and Mac. Started as StarOffice. Sun
changed the name to OpenOffice.org and developed a community of developers
(and others) between the late 1990s and mid-2010. Oracle gave it to the Apache
Foundation in 2011. IBM contributed their fork of OOo, IBM Lotus Symphony, to
Apache a few weeks later.
7. Siag - for Linux, OpenBSD and Mac OS X. A a simple old spreadsheet, part of
Siag Office.
8. Tables - for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Haiku. Part of the
extensive Calligra Suite. Possibly still mainly for Linux but ports have been
developed for other Operating Systems.
