LESSON NO1

WEEK BEGINNING 23RD TO 27TH MARCH 2020
MR TAMBU
King David Comprehensive College                                                communication and computer network’s  
PREPARED BY TUMBU BARTHOLOMEW ELAD 
CLASS: FORM FOUR DURATION: 2Hrs SUBJECT: COMPUTER SCIENCE  
 
I. COMPUTER NETWORKS A computer network is an interconnection of two or more computers so that they can communicate and share resources. Resources that can be shared on a network include files, folders, applications and printers. A computer or device on a network is called a node. 
 
1. Types of Computer Networks Networks can be classified into four depending on the geographical area they cover. 
 
1.1. Local Area Network A local area network (LAN) is a network that is used for communicating among computers, usually within an office building or home. It enables the sharing of resources that may be needed by multiple users in an organization. An example of LAN is the network in the Multimedia Resource Centre. 
 
1.2. Metropolitan Area Network A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a large computer network that usually spans a city or a large campus. It covers a larger geographical area than a LAN, ranging from several blocks of buildings to entire cities. An example of a MAN is a cable TV network. 
 
1.3. Wide Area Network A wide area network (WAN) covers a large geographic area such as a country, a continent or even the whole world. It is a distributed collection of LANs. That is, it connects two or more LANs together. The largest and most well-known example of a WAN is the Internet. 
 
1.4. Personal Area Network A personal area network (PAN) is a network that is used for communication among computers and computer devices in close proximity of around a few meters. It usually includes laptops, mobile phones, personal digital assistants, digital cameras and headsets and can be used for communication between the devices themselves, or for connection to a larger network such as the Internet. The most popular is the Wireless PAN (WPAN), a Bluetooth connection between two laptop computers or phones. 
 
2. Network Components Network components are the various hardware and software that are required to set up a network. 
 
2.1. Network Operating System The most important software component required for a network is the network operating system (NOS). A network operating system is an operating system that has networking capabilities. That is, it provides the ability to share resources, to manage a network and ensure security. Examples of NOS are LANtastic (Artisoft), NetWare (Novell) and LAN Manager (Microsoft).

PREPARED BY TUMBU BARTHOLOMEW ELAD 
 
2.2. Network Interface Card A network interface card (NIC) provides the physical interface (link) between the computer and the communication channel. It plugs into the system board and provides ports for connection to the network. A NIC is also called a LAN card or network adapter card. There are two kinds of NIC: wired NIC for wired networks and wireless NIC (WNIC) for wireless networks. 
 
2.3. Hub A hub is a device that works as central connecting point for multiple computers in a network. It has ports to which the computers in the network are connected. Data sent to the hub is broadcasted to all the ports but, only the destination computer receives it. 
 
2.4. Switch A switch is used at the same place as a hub but the difference between the two is that a switch stores information about every computer connected to it and sends the data only to the requested address. 
 
2.5. Repeater A repeater is a device used to expand the boundaries of a network. Signals usually degrade (lose strength) as they travel. Repeaters are used preserve signal integrity by regenerating (amplifying) the signals thereby extending the distance over which the signals can travel. 
 
2.6. Bridge A bridge is a device used to create a connection between two separate computer networks or to divide one network into segments. Creating multiple segments in a local network reduces the network traffic making the network to be faster and more efficient. A bridge performs its segmenting function by examining the data packet and forwarding it to other physical segments only if necessary.  
 
2.7. Router A router joins several networks together and is responsible for routing data from one network to another. Routers can be computers with operating systems and special network software, or they can be other dedicated devices built by network manufacturers. The Internet relies heavily on routers. 
2.8. Modem A modem converts digital signals from a computer to analog signals or for transmission over a medium (modulation) and converts analog signals from the medium to digital signals understandable by the computer (demodulation). 
 
2.9. Cables  Cables are the physical links through which signals are transmitted from one node to another. There are three types of cables: coaxial cable, twisted pair cable and fiber optic cable. 
 
Assignment: State where necessary, the different subtypes of the above cabling types and the type of connectors they use.

LESSON NO 6

WEEK BEGINNING 23RD TO 27TH MARCH 2020

 

Economics form 4A,B,C

Factors influencing price elasticity of demand( Determinants)

1, Availability of close substitutes:The demand for goods with close substitutes are very elastic because an increase in price will cause consumers to switch to cheaper substitutes while goods with no close substitutes are inelastic in demand.

2, The degree of necessities and luxuries: The demand for necessities are inelastic because consumers cannot do without the goods no mater the price while luxurious goods are always elastic in demand.

3, Time period: The demand for goods in the short run is always inelastic because  consumers cannot easily find substitute as well as producers cannot increase production while in the long run, demand is always elastic.

4,Habit formation: Habitual goods are inelastic in demand while non habitual goods are elastic in demand.e.g addicted cigarette smokers.

5, The percentage of income spent on the good: Goods that take a greater amount of consumers incomes are elastic in demand while goods that take a small proportion of consumers incomes are inelastic in demand.

6, Number of uses a good has: When a good has many uses, its demand turn to be price inelastic and vice versa for goods with few uses.

 

Importance or uses of price elasticity of demand.

A; To the Producer

1, It helps the producer to raise revenue: When the demand for a good is inelastic, the producer will increase prices to raise revenue but when a good is elastic in demand, he will reduce prices to attract customers.

2, It facilitates Price discrimination: This is when a monopoly supplier charges different prices to different customers in different markets.

Higher prices are charged in the market with inelastic goods while lower prices are charged in the market for elastic goods.

3,It helps the producer to know how to share the burden of a tax: Producers will shift the tax burden to consumers inform of high prices for inelastic goods but if the goods are elastic, producers will absorb the tax burden.

4, It helps for advertisement campaign: Inelastic goods do not need any advertisement because no matter the price, consumers will still buy while elastic goods needs a lot of advertisement.

B;To the Government:

1,It helps the government to raise revenue: When the government wants to increase her revenue, she will increase taxes on goods which are inelastic in demand since consumers will keep on but no matter the price.

2, To control the consumption of goods: when a good is elastic in demand, taxes can help reduce its consumption while subsidies can help encourage its consumption since prices will be reduced.

3, Correcting Balance of payment deficits: Balance of payment occurs when receipts are less than payments made by a country in international trade. More taxes will be placed on imported  goods with elastic demand and vice versa.

4, To determine the success of devaluation:The concept of elasticity helps the government to a certain the effect of evaluation.

5, Subsidization policy: Subsidies  are grants from the government to the producers to reduce their cost of production. Subsidies are always given to producers whose products are inelastic in demand. This helps them to reduce prices in favour of low income earners.

 

LESSON NO 7

WEEK BEGINNING 23RD TO 27TH MARCH 2020

              Form Four Commercial English Language

MODULE 5: Media, Communication, Science and Technology.

Lesson 1 : Expected Outcome: By the end of this lesson , Learners should be able to

  • Add appropriate question tags to complete statements and sentences
  •  Distinguish between sounds
  • State the word opposite in meaning to other words
  • Learn related vocabulary connected to smart phone and use them correctly
  • The uses of a smart phone in our daily lives

 

                              Grammar: Question Tags

A question tag is a short question composed of an auxiliary and a pronoun used at the end of a statement to confirm the statement.

It can also be defined as a short question at the end of a statement. Question tags are mainly used in speech when we want to

  • Confirm that something is true or not
  • To encourage a reply from the person we are speaking to.

Question tags are formed with the auxiliary or modal verb from the statement and the appropriate subject. They have the following rules for their formations.

RULE ONE

 A positive statement is followed by a negative tag or in order words when the statement is positive, question tag is negative. Examples

  • Jack is from Spain. Isn’t he?
  • Mary can speak French. Can’t she?
  • I am late. Aren’t I?
  • She is your mother. Isn’t she?
  • They can swim. Can’t they?
  • You should be careful. Shouldn’t you?
  • I shall be elected president. Shan’t I?

 

RULE TWO

When the statement is negative, question tag is positive. Examples

  • They aren’t funny. Are they?
  • He shouldn’t say things like that. Should he?
  • We did not do the job. Did we?
  • He won’t cry. Will he?
  • You don’t speak English. Do you?

RULE THREE

When there is no auxiliary verb, use “do” depending on whether the statement is negative or positive and whether the tense in the statement is present or past. Examples

  • You play the guitar. Don’t you?
  • Mary likes tennis. Doesn’t she?
  • The  girl ran away. Didn’t she?
  • The children scarcely write these days. Do they?
  • She hardly visited when he was here. Did she?

 RULE FOUR

Some verbs and expressions have different question tags. They take fixed expressions as tags. Examples.

  • I am attractive. Aren’t I?
  • Stop daydreaming. Won’t you?
  • Let’s go to the beach. Shall we?
  • Don’t stop singing. Will you?
  • He has got a car. Hasn’t he?
  • Let’s not settle this matter in public. Shan’t we?

 

Statements beginning with the imperative “let” take shall or shan’t as tags

Commands take will/would and can/could depending on the idea expressed.

  •  
  • Pass that salt to mama. Can you?
  • Bring me a glass of water. Can you?

 

RULE FIVE

The tag with indefinite and universal pronouns. Examples

  • Someone killed the dog. Didn’t he/she?
  • Something is wrong with that computer. Isn’t it?
  • Nobody is hurt in the accident. Are they?
  • Somebody stole his car. Didn’t they?
  • Everyone here voted the new president. Didn’t they?
  • Everything that goes round comes around. Doesn’t it?

Everybody, somebody, everyone is followed by a verb in the singular form but takes a plural tag. Sentences beginning  with none, nobody, nothing have negative connotations and their tag is positive.

Exercise 1: Add appropriate question tags and complete the following sentences.

  1. The earth is not flat…..
    1. Is it ?
    2. Isn’t it ?
    3. Not so?

    3. Is it so?
  5. You met him yesterday
    1. Did you?
    2. Didn’t you?
    3. Isn’t it?
  6. Let’s us go for a walk.
