Week 4 Revised

During the tutorial, we interviewed our tutor to find out the events and requirements of the system. It was a little nerve-wrecking initially but David made it very enjoyable which reduced the stress level inside me.

We started by activating our recording mechanism and by doing that, we learn a very valuable lesson from David.

"When you are recording a conversation, it is polite to ask the person if they mind that the conversation is being recorded," said David. I would say that would be the one lesson that is not covered in the unit but a valuable life lesson.

We continued the interview and got what we wanted. I would say not fully what we want or covers all that is required, but that some what mimics real life systems design. A single interview usually don't give you all the requirements. That depends on the size of the system.

Even small systems will nearly always involve more than one interview.
