HSU201 – Case Study Activity 2

Semester 1, 2016  Page 2 of 2 

Write 1-2 paragraphs explaining the necessity of a system upgrade and

mention what impact will occur by upgrading to a new system. In your report

use the following headings to organise your response:

Introduction

Opportunities

Risks

Activity 4: 20 Marks  – 1 diagram plus a few sentences

Create a concept map via freemind, cmap tool or bubbl.us program that

shows various components and their connectivity of the task in activity 2.  

Explain your concept map in a couple of sentences.

Submission: 10 marksProduce a report document as you did for Worksheet 1.

MUST be a single pdf document in a formal report format

Make sure the report is a “story” – not a set of activities dumped into

the middle of a report.

Formatting and presentation as well as the document structure counts

Be organised – whilst I am expecting only a page of writing or less in total for the“body” of the report plus the concept map diagram, electrons are very cheap so

organise your report logically using separate page(s) as necessary for each activity -make it easy and simple to follow and read!
