DIAGRAM: MICROPROCESSOR COMPARISON

Full View

When we started this topic, I really had no idea what the features of a microprocessor were or what they meant, so creating this diagram, helped me acquire new information that proved useful for the topic later on.

Full Document

We originally had the objective to share this document with students in the younger year levels. But it was not only useful for that, I was also able to learn some new tips and tricks that I started applying later on with my devices, like the Icloud, and I was also reminded of erasing unnecessary files that take up disk space on my laptop. It ran much smoother thanks to this exercise.

This is very useful as a reference document, since it lists all the data types, shows how to convert them and also provides useful examples.

GANTT CHART: PERSONAL PROJECT

This diagram helped me understand the concept of SDLC much better, as making it involved researching the general definitions for each part. I now have a very complete study map that I can go back to whenever I need to study for an exam or just review each part of the cycle.
