~Computer Programming & Simulation, Digital Systems (7th Day); Economic Statistics (8th Day)
“I’m doomed.”
//The Courses/ /
(1) Computer Programing & Simulation – The lectures were quite a challenge to follow. Just like most courses with many students and… ‘bad’ microphones. I love the lab classes because that’s the only time where we can ask the lecturer personally about programming-related problems. This is the only group assignment that I was okay with. Kind of.
Initially I planned that I’ll do the program, and the other two will do the paperwork… then I had problems with the program & also because everyone was busy with other assignments, one of my group members suggested that we erm… ‘re-use’ a senior’s (from other school/faculty) program. I was okay with it at first but you know when something you do is associated with the phrase “Everyone’s doing it”, you know it’s not always a good thing.
Last minute, I realize what I did wrong and revived our program. I was relieved that my group members were okay with starting from scratch (she was near to sending the “re-used” one). We spent almost a whole day at the library “Maybe you should try this code”, “I think we should say it this way…”, “What about this?” – I mean we really worked as team! (not really the best but close enough). It was a really simple program, but we did it together. That’s what matters most.. especially after I did my (individual) ethics assignment about “Plagiarism”.
(2) Digital Systems – This is my second favourite course. The lecturer was really direct and easy to understand. She made sure that we understood enough before going to the next chapter. I actually admire her from the first day we met her. I mean… isn’t it impressive to have a female lecturer who knows a lot about computers? She talked about games with the guys. I always have seen her as “Not just a pretty face” type. She’s really cool. I hope she’s going to teach us again next semester.
(3) Economic Statistics – We had two lecturers for this course. I like the second one better. Statistics isn’t really one of things I’m good at so I don’t have much to talk about the course.

Terrible, terrible, terrible! You can’t go out there in the war without knowing how to fight and without your weapons! Suicidal. Totally. I hate to think that I will have to repeat any of those courses... Arghh.
