Note that these responses are not official additions to the questions; only explanations of what is required to answer them. Be sure you read the question and understand it fully before answering.
Questions 1 & 2. Where do I go to get the steps?
Traditional Systems Development Cycle. See the book and your class notes for explanations of what goes in each step.
Question 3 and 4. I wanted to know if there is a list and if so where could it be located. I have not been able to find such a list on your website. I have searched for a list that contains the possible advantages and disadvantages but I have not come across one. Therefore, I was wondering if the advantages and disadvantages are simply located within the article.
There is no list, and even if there were a list, it is not what is required. You must understand the concepts involved and either find the advantages/disadvantages within the case or deduce them from what you know about the specific application in the company and what the particular technology is.
Question 5. Where is the EDI definition?
The handout is at EDI, refer to your notes for additional information from class on EDI.
Question 5. Any suggestions on how to answer this?
I suggest that you (1) define the term, (2) state your answer, and (3) relate the facts in the case to the specific elements of the definition to support your answer. Include specific examples, if appropriate.
