2ND WEEK: An Introduction to Software Engineering

    It was a late Tuesday afternoon as we start our scheduled class 6pm-9pm. It is our only face-to-face class that day so I was really looking forward of the class. I was 3minutes late when I arrived. When I entered the class our professor was almost done checking with the attendance. After our professor checking the attendance our professor greeted us with a game which is  "Rebus puzzle". 

    After the mini games we proceeded with the class lesson in which we tackled "What is Software Engineering?". I learned a lot in during the discussion especially about the fact that Software Engineering is not only about coding but it is about using the right tools and method in creating a reliable program/product. It requires documentation of the thorough examination and studying about the problem and how does the program/product is used to help solve the problem.

    We also tackled about the Evolution of software design techniques. In which our professor also shared about the type of program/product in which in the early days the programmers always go on debugging as they just code and directly. Meanwhile in todays era, to have a successful program/product it must undergo several steps of studying and documentation before coding. Software Engineering also not just only makes the product reliable but also it is also about designing. 

    After our professor finished discussing the module he grouped us, dividing the class into 4 groups. And i was part of the group 1 in which out professor handed us an activity in analyzing the project and our project was "Wilderness Weather System". In which it is about a project that is a weather system in the wilderness. Our professor gave us 30minutes to discuss with the group and create a PowerPoint presentation about it. So me and my groupmates discussed the project and dissected its information. With a small amount of time I created started to create the presentation with the help of Gwen and Mary Ann and finished it, but due to unforeseen circumstances we cannot send the PowerPoint to the group. Thankfully Novem stepped in and created a new one and copied the information from the one we made. Thankfully the Presentation was presented well and we ended our class by the professor giving us a task for our manuscript. And thankfully the heavy rain stopped exactly as we end our class exactly at 9pm.

18th Week: PIT presentation

Image
    First and foremost I want to thank our Professor sir Engr Carl Angelo Suasola for giving us the opportunity to learn and work under his guidance. He also gave everyone a Final exam exemption for both of his subjects which really helped everyone. We are all thankful and grateful for this opportunity and we will not forget this opportunity and his kindness.      Its been a long grueling week for each and everyone of us. Back to back exams and back to back PIT presentations. It was a hard fought battle to strive to be a Computer Engineer. Everyone strived and worked hard.      Though our group weren't able to present on Dec 21 we will be twice as prepared as we can possibly be and we will do our best for the next presentation on January and hope to pass the subject.

10th week: PIT PRESENTATION

Image
      A tense Tuesday afternoon. We were the 2nd group to present our application. We have our problems when developing the app but we proceeded in presenting it. Mostly, my colleague presented the application since the application was in his phone. We started off our presentation with logging in and the error handlings in the logins and its database. We also showed our main features. But we do lack a lot. Like the admin, edit profile, and the change of name in the profile, can now post.     Friday where we represented our application. We improved our frontend and backend. We presented our lacking edit profile page and the change of name in the profile, and can already post. Though in our backend we ran into a problem when we were fixing our posting where when we try to post it wouldn't show in our front page even though we already called the tray where it holds all the posts. Later than same afternoon 30mins before our presentation. One of my classmates checked...

      It was a very tiring afternoon as we took 2 subjects of exam that day. First was Machine Learning 11am-2pm then it was SDE 2pm-5pm. It was an exhausting afternoon. Taking the exam was a hard as the exam was hard. A lot of questions were in the Software Maintenance topic. I think i did decent in the exam after knowing i got 30/50 or 60/100. As I took the exam so exhausted and I even fell asleep taking it.      After a long 3days of exams we got back to work for our application. Chasing the 70% benchmark for our midterm PIT.
