assignment 6A (comment)

The consultation of Dr. Randy S. Gamboa is different among the usual way of consultation. For the reason that; if the first group isn’t done consulting about their own system, the others can’t talk to him personally. I’m not against with it, yet other group will take a lot of time, and for heaven sake, can’t they adjust for the sake of others? (I can’t believe I’m saying this, but hey! freedom of speech people).
The faculty room, for me, isn’t really a convenient place for consultation. Sometimes (no, not sometimes) many times, other teachers are there and ho-ho-ho we can almost hear them laughing. (kaulaw) but, like they said, “there’s no place like faculty”.
The other circumstances were, in my own opinion, good. I’m grateful to the fact that Dr. Gamboa changed our mind about our proposed system, from Jurassic (Sir Gamboa’s term) to, in my word, an appropriate-for-ComSci-student system. Thank you sir!

University of Southeastern Philippines Enrollment System for old student in the Institute of Computing...

comfy???(assingment no.3)

Question:
Among the data gathering techniques used in systems analysis are interviewing, document review, observation, and use of questionnaires. Considering your personality type, which of these would you be most comfortable with and why?

Answer:
Others say, ask a question and you'll know the person BUT I SAY observe in silence and you'll see behind a face in one's personality.

Observation is either an activity of a living being (such as a human), consisting of receiving knowledge of the outside world through the senses, or the recording of data using scientific instruments. The term may also refer to any datum collected during this activity.-wikipedia

Well I guess that explain all. I would prefer the observation, not only because I'm comfortable with it but nonetheless (for me) it's the best way to know the real,real,real deal.

adaptive or predictive... which is which?

problem: Following the SDLC model, please discuss the acitvities/steps that you will undertake in order to achieve your objective/s in life. what approach(es) would you use, predictive/adaptive?.. your own version of SDLC pls...

as for me, my first step would be having a concrete plan in order for me to achieve my objectives in life. Everything starts with a plan (though I'm a go-with-the-flow person sometimes), it would be a better foundation before anything else. The second will be my starting point. I mean it must be more on work rather than imagining, but of course thinking would be part of it. And the rest? Oh! let God be my guide :). Prayers would be my best action. haha.

What approaches would I use,predictive/adaptive?

In my decisions in life, I am an adaptive-person. Like I said in the upper part of this I don't usually make plans in anything and everything that comes along my way ( my school life would be a different story hahaha :) ) It's not that I'm a totally irresponsible lady, what I mean is that there were things in life which is not worth thinking for. And I would rather disregard it for I know God has a purpose about it.
Yet things in school is really far different among those of my life. In school it's better that adaptive and predictive goes in hand. We'll use predictive in order for as to have this what we called sop or the standard operating procedure. The teachers will,of course, set a deadline. And as a student, we know the a deadline is a deadline(but it's really up to the teacher if he/she will give us the 'palugit' hahahaha). Kidding aside, on the contrary adaptive must also be implemented What's the benefit? Everybody must be open in all posibilities, other ideas, brilliant opinions and anything under the sun for we never know what will happen next. It may result to a better or the best project ever.
