Document Summary

An important design activity suggested for many agile methods refactoring is a reorganization technique that simplifies the design (or code) of a component without changing its function or behaviour. Fowler [fow00] defines refactoring in the following manner: refactoring is the process of changing a software system in such a way that it does not alter the external behaviour of the code [design] yet improves its internal structure. When software is refactored, the existing design is examined for redundancy, unused design elements, inefficient or unnecessary algorithms, poorly constructed or inappropriate data structures, or any other design failure that can be corrected to yield a better design. For example, a first design iteration might yield a component that exhibits low cohesion (i. e. , it performs three functions that have only limited relationship to one another). After careful consideration, you may decide that the component should be refactored into three separate components, each exhibiting high cohesion.

It is not expected that the aspects of a design case which excite the authors are precisely what reviewers sce as the case's true points of merit. I was excited to Write my design case because 1 felt it was novel, but novelty is not necessarily an asset to a design case. A design that is unusual or new forces the author to explain its complexity with more precision.

The newness of a design can pose challenges. Precisely explaining the complexity of a design becomes almost a requirement for the author when the design is unusual or innovative. For example, Howard (2011, p. 44) says "I was excited to write my design case because I felt it was novel, but novelty is not necessarily an asset to a design case*.

Even though the first digital prototype was not fully functional, designers were able to emulate playing the game by selecting diffusion activities and staff members. Through this interaction, designers noticed that players would need to move the mouse from one side of the monitor to the other for every single turn in the game. Designers also realized that the natural order of the "Activity" and "Staff members" sections were inverted because players need to first select an Information or Diffusion Activity and then select up to five staff members.

The fact that players first had to select an activity and then select who to involve in the activity meant that the order of two sections ("Activity" and "Staff member") were mixed up. This issue was observed through the use of an emulated version of the game since the initial digital prototype lacked some functionality,

Overview:

In this assignment you will review the hierarchy of an organism and the systems of the body. You will choose one system in the body and complete a chart listing the different parts for each level of organization within this system. After completing the chart, you will answer some discussion questions about your chosen system.

Background Information:

The hierarchy of an organism describes the levels of organization within an organism. These levels of organization are defined by the size and complexity of their parts from smallest to largest. The smallest level of organization of living organisms is a cell. A cell is the most basic unit of structure and function. Cells combine to create tissues. There are 4 types of tissues that make up all of the body:

Epithelial tissue forms the interior and exterior surfaces of the body. It creates surfaces for protection, absorption, and excretion.
Muscular tissue makes up the organs that have voluntary and involuntary functions and forms the organs responsible for movement.
Connective tissue forms binding, supporting, and transporting structures and usually contains collagen for strength.
Nervous tissue is made of neurons and glial cells that transport nerve impulses across the body.

Assignment:

On your own sheet of paper, draw and fill out the chart below and then answer the discussion questions.
