Case Study- Director’s Request for PCs using MS Word Table, MS Access, and MS PowerPoint
Case Study – Using MS Office 2010
Please use the document “Case Study – Director’s Requirements” for each of the parts described below.
Part 1: Specifications Table (MS Word)
For the case study provided to you, create MS Word tables that identify and contain the hardware and software requirements to meet the director’s requirements. The MS
Word document in its final form will include 5 MS Word tables. It will conclude with a two-paragraph narrative summary that classifies the user type and identifies
the PC category(ies) that will be recommended.
Students are expected to conduct external research to adequately address all aspects of the assignment requirements. Any outside sources should be correctly cited in
APA style at the end of the table. Students will need to include specific requirements from the case study to show why each item is being recommended. Each element
listed below must be incorporated into the assignment. Omissions will result in loss of points.
Make and model and description are required. For example, if the solution suggested is a 32” IBM Monitor, say so, do not just say monitor, that says nothing.
There should be sufficient detail in this case study for procurement/purchasing personnel to buy the systems. Details are crucial.
Don’t bother with web references as to where the equipment can be found. Focus on a solution to specific requirements.
Do not ‘number’ requirements in your table, even though they are numbered in the “Case Study – Director’s Requirements’ document. In many cases there are several
requirements expressed in a single numbered listing. It’s important that you are clear about which requirement is addressed by a specific piece of hardware or
software.
All identified hardware and software must be listed in the tables. Mentioning an item in the two paragraph narrative is perfectly ok, but it must also be in the
tables.
Requirement Points Allocated Comments
Open and save an MS Word document with the following name:
“Student’s Last Name Specs”
Example: Smith Specs
Set normal text to Arial, 12 point.
0.1 This is the font in normal paragraphs. Heading and title fonts may be a larger size.
Title Page which shows title, your first and last name, course and due date. 0.2 The title must be “Specification for [insert your first and last name]”.
Use a footer to create page numbers for all pages except the title page. 0.2 Right-align the numbers
Create a table that shows the various required hardware components. The table should have all the necessary columns, rows, and column headings to show the following:
• Input Devices – Identify each device type and show which specific user requirements are met.
• Output Devices – Identify each type and show which specific user requirements are met.
• Communication Devices – Identify each type and show which specific user requirements are met.
• Storage Devices – External (including portable) storage devices and show which specific user requirements are met.
• Other Peripheral Devices – Identify each type and show which specific user requirements are met.
2.5 The table must be labeled “Hardware Components.”
User requirements are posted in the case study.
For example, you might include the following information in your table to describe one Input Device:
Input Device – 1.2 Megapixel video camera
Requirements met – create video files
Create a table that shows the various required system unit features. The table should have all the necessary columns, rows, and column headings to show the following:
• Processor – Include type and clock speed and state how processor type and clock speed meets the Director’s specific user requirements.
• RAM – Include type and amount and state how RAM type and amount meets the Director’s specific user requirements.
• Adapter Cards – Identify each type and show which specific user requirements are met.
• Ports – Include types, how many of each type, and show which specific user requirements are met.
• Storage Devices – Identify internal system unit storage devices, size of hard drive, and state how each storage device and the hard drive size recommended
meets specific user requirements.
2.5 The table must be labeled “System Unit Features.”
Create a table that shows the various required Application Software. The table should have all the necessary columns, rows, and column headings to show the following:
• Identify types, recommend specific product names, and show which specific user requirements are met. 3.0 The table must be labeled “Application
Software.” Specific product names MUST be listed and connected with specific user requirements.
Create a table shows that the various required System Software. The table should have all the necessary columns, rows, and column headings to show the following:
• Operating System – Identify a specific operating system and version
• Utility Programs – Include a comprehensive list and state how each utility program meets specific user requirements.
1.5 The table must be labeled “System Software.” Include one operating system and at least three utility programs.
Create a table that shows the required Internet connectivity and Web-hosted applications and services. The table should have all the necessary columns, rows, and
column headings to show the following:
• Identify the specific type of ISP that should be used for Internet connectivity.
• Identify the specific Web services that should be used.
• State how the ISP type and Web services that were identified meet specific user requirements in the case study.
1.0 The table must be labeled “Internet Connectivity & Web Services.”
Write a brief two-paragraph narrative that categorizes the user type, identifies the category of PC (s) required, and summarizes your recommendations. 1.0
Two well-written, concise and organized paragraphs not to exceed one-half a page. Place narrative after the title page but before the tables.
NOTE: There are 13 office requirements listed in the case study. Each one will need the appropriate hardware and software that will improve the productivity in the
office. The users are the people working in the office that will be affected by the 13 requirements. The types of PCs could be anything from servers to mainframes. It
is essential that you connect the requirements with your recommendations.
