Pkchukiss - Reality Wine

Well, rabbit left a comment in my last post asking about the load in SMIT (School of Media and Info-Communications Technology). Well, I’d say that it’s been an unusually intensive semester for me, because of all the assignments. I also went to Paris in July for the Imagine Cup, so that left me less time to work on assignments.

I would like to thank the lecturers for being understanding about the situation, and allowing us to push the deadlines around for a little bit. At any rate, here’s a break-down on what I’m supposed to do this semester: (or rather, what I did this semester)

• Design for User Interaction:
  • 15 page report on the user interface of an AXS machine
  • Create an application in Flash - graded on usability
  • Usability testing, survey, report, and improvements to previous assignment
• Data Structures and Algorithms:
  • Create an application in Java for a Music Store using specific techniques
  • Add-on to the Music Store with use of certain functions
• Java Server Programming
  • Create the back-end support system (database and administrative) for a fictional tuition centre
  • Complete all functionality for tuition centre (usable by public, tutors and administrators)
• System Development Techniques
