[Year 12 IPM] IPM Exam

[Mark Scott]

Q10 ...any decent tech (and most of the dodgy techs) would want
neither...

 

but I think the answer they want is C. "tech manual"

 

 

Q16 The answer they want would be B. USB 2.0 connection. 

The question talks about how efficient the devices are not how long it
takes the user to plug them in.

I sent this email to the list at 3:05 --- ahhh don't ya just leeeerv
edumail, Anyway - plese accept my apologies if you receive it twice

At the risk of exposing my level of rational thinking at this stage of
the year...

 

Q 10. I tend to agree with David and choose C. a quick reference card.

The question only refers to the installation of the network printer, and
surely a computer support person would not need a technical reference
manual to INSTALL the printer.

 

Q. 16 I found totally ambiguous

In terms of time saved then surely a wireless connection is less faster
to actually connect (eg when I want to synch my phone with my laptop I
bluetooth because otherwise I would spend 3 hours looking for the cable)

Same would go for IR printer connections etc (I remember printing via IR
at McKinnonSC and it certainly saved time by not having to connect to
the network first to print - in 2000 - before the days of wireles
network cards)

 

I tossed up about the time savings in terms of the speed of a USB
connection compared to the speed of the wireless connection but
eventually decided that in MY work and home life wireless saves me time.

 

In cost terms though you wuld have to go for the USB connection.

 

That's my 2 cents worth for the multiple choice - I await with baited
breath your contribution for the short answer section Mark...

 

Cheers
