Since you got yours last year, you should be finished!

I havent started the actual programming yet, but finished the first part of documentation, bloody hell, 50 pages looks like the final documentations gotta be around 300-400 pages

 

[:: ck ::]

wtf 300 pages are u serious... bah

ur kidding rite?

 

[Fiona]

I've only done the first 1/3 of mine - the sort of... stuff... what am I trying to say?

The defining the problem and that kind of thing.

I haven't really started programming yet... well, I made a couple of attempts but they sort of didn't work

We are supposed to hand in the final part at the beginning of next term!

I'Ve g0t about 3/4 of mine done well mainly most of the actual programming just need to finish off the documentation and prolly fancy up the program and ill be done. =0) yIppE

 

[Chand]

were not finished yet..but were not doing ne programming..all were doin is Flash MX..and just clicking n selecting....its due nxt term some time..and im not even halfway through..crap..

 

[Soliah]

Almost done :S

End documentation is all thats left, and that won't take too long.

just wondering how often did u ppl have to work on ur major project throughout the year to finish it by now

(class time, an hour on weekend etc...)

 

[Soliah]

A few times a week, and we had class time every Friday (around 40-50 minutes).

All in all, most of the work was done on weekends, though a few things were done during weeknights.

ah ok just not sure whether software design is worth doing in year 12 if u have ot put too much effort into it

 

[sunny]

That depends on what your goals are.

You can write simplistic programs and as long as complexity is not part of the marking criteria or favoured by the marker, you can still get full marks along with another person that wrote something more impression that took alot more time.

But of course on the other hand its much more satisfying to write something decent in which case you need to put time and effort into it.....

 

[Fiona]

Effort? It's not any different from any other subject.

I think the real difference would be whether or not your school can supply you with a teacher or not... etc

 

[Soliah]

Not just a teacher either. A teacher that can teach SDD. It is frustrating when one learns more from friends than from the teacher

 

[sunny]

You guys should be a bit more understanding!

This is a new course that is only several years old - you can't expect to have many experienced teachers around to teach this subject the right way.

My SDD teacher was a woodwork teacher teaching a computing subject for the first time. I think he did a fine job giving it a real shot at teaching a year 12 class even though he had trouble keeping up himself.

If your teacher can't teach the SDD course that well, then when the HSC comes you can't tell the BOS that you got a shonky mark because of your teacher. You have to do something about it now! Read from textbooks, summarise and practice!

 

[:: ck ::]

u dont realli need a teacher for sdd u just need a brain and some determination to learn urself

 

[Beaky]

Yep... dont criticse your teacher.. it is your attitude towards him/her!!!

I finsihed my major project and got it back!!!

I was reallly really happy... 97%

I really thought i would do worse.. but i put a friggen lot of effort

 

[Soliah]

Handed mine in last Friday!

Sooo happy that its out of the way now.

 

[Rahul]

yep handed mine in last week aswell.....prett dodgy if i ask me, a last minute job in the end.

 

[enak]

Our teacher is screwed, marks down on the stupidest stuff, like TOO much indentation, should of started this algorithm on the next page, didn't show levels in diagrams wtf, its self explanatory.

Bah, part one =92% soo dissapointed.

 

[:: ck ::]

does part of that mark go to ur hsc
