Week 11

Activity: Experiment planning

Objective(s): To plan an experiment to measure the efficiency of the device.

Contents:

First of all, we discussed identify the limitations of the fingerprint device that we had built. It appears that the device can only register 5 users and 5 days of attendance data to be recorded. Then we list down the variables to be tested in the experiment.

Result/Analysis:

Based on the limitations of the device, we came out with the variables of the experiment. 

Manipulated variable: The method of taking attendance record.

Fixed variable: Number of users and days of taking attendance.

Responding variable: The efficiency of the tested system.

We picked out 5 students among our colleagues to be the samples of the experiment. We also picked out the classes we plan to use to conduct the experiment.

Classes in respect to the days of the experiment

List of users and their names

Conclusion:

In conclusion, we had set up an experiment procedure which will be conducted on the following week.
