WGU D459 AAN1 TASK 2 PRACTICE
EXAMINATION 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ SDLC Phase 1: PlanningTask 2: Conduct Feasibility StudiesS - Scheduling.
Answer: A preliminary schedule is drafted, with built-in padding, to
determine the project start and completion dates. When the schedule is
determined, you must assess whether it fits the organization's plans.
◍ maslow hierarchy of needs.
Answer: physiological:-things your body needs: food, water, sleep, rest,
breaks, clothing, warmthsafety:-home, money, resources, not being
bulliedlove and belonging:-friends, family, trust, being part of a group,
sharing, encouraging one anotheresteem:-based on: achievements,
competence, recognition, reputation, independence, pride, being respected,
feeling special self-actualisation:-personal growth, achieving your ideal self,
sound mental health, acceptance, of self and others, feeling fulfilled
◍ SDLC Phase 2: AnalysisTask 1: Identify System Requirements.
Answer: This task puts pressure on the users of the system to identify every
task—daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly—the new system needs to support.
Strong interviewing skills are required to gather this detailed information
from users.
◍ distributed practice.
Answer: explores how the brain retains information when learning is spread
out over time rather than condensed.
◍ initiative versus guilt stage.
Answer: children between the ages three and six display increased
assertiveness by taking the lead in play and engaging in social interactions
, more actively
◍ SDLC Phase 2: AnalysisTask 3: Identify System Security.
Answer: This task identifies the preliminary security requirements of the
system.
◍ Gantt chart.
Answer: Project management software used to manage the project from a
higher-level perspective. Displays tasks and dependencies in a matrix view.
If any task changes, updating the task produces an updated chart.
◍ myth of the brain is a computer.
Answer: Myth! The brain is a computer. In the study of the brain's
complexity, the comparison of the brain as a computer has been a common
framework, offering a simple way to understand its functions. This
comparison is rooted in the idea that humans created computers to mimic
the brain's processes, leading to a circular argument where we attempt to
explain the brain by relating it to a creation designed to imitate the brain
itself.
◍ The work breakdown structure.
Answer: An outline view of the tasks to be completed, which are organized
by phases. This document provides a scope and schedule of the major
systems development tasks in systemic order.
◍ learning science/debunking the myth of cramming.
Answer: It is essential to debunk the myth of cramming and instead adopt
consistent study habits that promote deep learning and long-term retention.
Effective strategies include seeking approximate feedback during study
sessions, leveraging comparisons in tasks to deepen understanding, and
engaging in collaborative interval training to reinforce knowledge over time.
◍ sensorimotor stage.
Answer: infants (0-2 years old) explore through senses and actions,
developing an understanding of object permanence and laying cognitive
foundations
, ◍ conservation.
Answer: understanding that certain physical attributes of objects- such as
quantity, mass, volume, and number- remain constant even their appearance
or arrangement changes
◍ concrete operational stage.
Answer: In children between ages 7 and 11, thinking becomes more logical,
organized, and systematic
◍ tabula rasa.
Answer: the human mind is essentially empty at bath
◍ SDLC Weaknesses.
Answer: •Longer development time than other methodologies•Increased
development costs•Need for well-defined systems at outset, before
development starts•Rigid process•Some difficulty in estimating scheduling
and budgeting•Limited user input
◍ autonomy versus shame/doubt stage.
Answer: the shame and doubt stage involves a child's journey toward
independence and decision-making
◍ ways that executive functions can support student learning.
Answer: Planning-Helps student break down tasks into manageable steps,
set goals, and create a timeline for completing assignments.Working
memory-Allows student to hold information in mind while completing
tasks, such as remembering instructions or key concepts during a
test.Self-regulation-Helps student manage emotions, stay focused, and
control impulses, leading to better behavior and academic
performance.Organization- Enables student to keep track of assignments,
materials, and deadlines, leading to improved time management and
productivity.Flexibility- Allows student to adapt to changes in routine or
unexpected challenges, leading to better problem-solving skills and
resilience.
