WEEK 4 Lecture & Tutorial Experience

As oppose to my past experience in my Fit2001 journey, this day was the most bizzarre of them all. Building up to the lecture i was so confused about not only the week 4 lecture but also about the week 4 tutorial. I was told by my tutor to prepare a set of questions regarding any company, product or brand to interview in tutorial and i show up this morning in lecture to find out that we were actually told to prepare questions regarding the case study.

I felt shattered and could not believe that all the effort to make those interview questions should be thrown in the waste bin in that instant. So i had to make an urgent meeting with my group members to make a new set of questions on the case study. I had to do all the research and thinking with my group members in the space of 3 hours before our tutorial class to only face another confusion and utter disappointment.

Our tutor says that interview is based on not any unknown company..... not on any case study but on Gladwells presentation and the Pepsi ad..... At that particular moment i when i heard that announcement i felt like banging my head on the desk but i chose not to since i needed my head safe and sound to make the new set of questions. Again in a rush and with enormous amount of stress hitting me, we somehow got the job done in the allocated time given to us to start making a new set of interview questions.

Then the tutor engaged in a one-on-one discussion with each group to answer questions and clarify things. Once that was done i had a sigh of relief that this tutorial is done with.

But i was again sad and unsatisfied that the additional tutorial question which i worked so dilligently to come up with answers was done in a rush and the question on drawing the activity diagram was not explained properly since the tutor was in rush as class had already ended by then. Thus i hope i get the solution in the coming weeks so i verify that my concepts are clear and strong.

Ooops! In all this confusion and stress i forgot to mention about the new topics introduced in week 4 lecture called "Beginning Analysis" . WEEK 4 lecture was about defining events, understanding objects, classes, attributes and methods. It also mentioned about the types of events, the reasons for modeling and their respective types. Class diagrams, event tables, and types of things were also shown to get a better idea of them. But i still felt after the lecture that i have a vague idea about things and would hope that some reading and tutorials in the next few days will clear that concept.

This sums up my week 4 experience and i am looking to the next few weeks to be able to link all the information i know so far about Fit2001 so I would be able to tackle my assignments with greater ease...... :)
