Who is doing SD this year? How is everyone finding it? Right now it feels like a repeat of IT last year, plus a thousand more cycles/methodologies/stages that I have to remember.

im doing it. I find the subject quite challenging and stimulating
we r having a sac this Thursday for it
Sac is about Networks and System Analysis

ell16 · 4 Mar 2008, 6:09 PM

Guess not many people are doing it this year.. heh.

Yeah we've got a similar outcome coming up - analysing an existing networked information system.

jery · 24 Mar 2008, 8:58 PM

I'm doing it this year too! Finding the theory, well especially about information systems very boring =(
Can't wait to do some programming!

ell16 · 25 Mar 2008, 4:01 PM

I dunno, I find the course interesting as a whole - including the systems stuff

But yeah, would be good to start the software engineering side soon.

What programming language are you using, btw? We're using VB.net, bleh.

Foxodi · 25 Mar 2008, 4:47 PM

Besides the programming I find the subject pretty boring. For me its really just a subject I cramm-teach myself.

Well, my school's doing PHP...

(Hope my teacher won't come up with another 70 slide powerpoint to teach the class, one was enough...)
BTW, what is everyone up now? (I feel like my class is going very slow...)

Nice, I wish we were doing PHP

We've finished Area of Study 1 (Systems Analysis and Design) and should be starting Software Development when Term 2 begins.

You should be jumping in joy, I can't name an easier & more powerful language to learn. Not to mention it's extremely wide-spread.

jery · 3 Apr 2008, 1:40 PM

well, all I have done in PHP (well last year) was just making html forms and getting things back, nothing flashy...
Wish schools could teach AJAX..

MP questions in IT always put a smile on my face!

aha...same

gl to everyone...hopefully we don't have as many bs worded questions that could lead to an infinite amount of answers as in 07's...

Falx · 13 Nov 2008, 5:00 PM

You jinxed us :/
Na not really, i didnt find it hard, just really odd.
Who else?

Arayan · 13 Nov 2008, 7:14 PM

That wasnt too bad. I couldnt figure out the friggen algorithm question.

I would consider this a tad bit harder then the 2007's exam, especially the multiple choice!

Falx · 13 Nov 2008, 8:11 PM

Yeah i agree, multiple choice was shit, wasnt impressed. Also did you find that you could answer purely logical responses rather than specifically IT based answers? I hope so.
