Pkchukiss – Reality Wine

Argh! I’m drowning…

• Data Structures and Algorithms: The assignment is a Java project which is essentially simple enough, but I had to go and propose some ridiculous features that are way out of the normal IT Diploma standard. I can manage alright, but I think the other 2 members of the team are drowning, so we’re looking at a Tuesday deadline with absolutely no sign of us completing the assignment soon. It’s a case of trying too hard, I guess…
• Designing User Interface: We’re supposed to write a 10-15 page report on the user interfaces on AXS machines. We’ve got the photographs, and the write-up is all nearly done, so I’m not having panic attacks on this one. Due on Tuesday.
• Know Your Rights: This is my GEMs, and we had a report on recent court cases due yesterday. We managed to complete the report in good time, but there’s still the presentation to prepare for. The presentation is due on Tuesday morning.
• System Development Techniques: This is the first module I’m having immense problems understanding. The concepts supposedly build on last years’ Entity relationship diagrams, but I really hate how the lecturer is able to pull classes out from thin air when I can’t even visualise them in the first place! We have to submit 3 Use-Case specifications, the Use-Case diagram, introduction, 3 horizontal prototypes on 30 May. I’m banging my head against the proverbial wall.
• Java Server Programming: We’re supposed to write a complete web application for a fictitious tuition centre to manage its’ sprawling administration system. It was initially due next Sunday, but thankfully was postponed till end of June.

Year 2 is tough (if you don’t want to turn in mediocre work)!
