13th Week of Intrict(Last Meeting)

Sir Oli told us that we should really prepare for the exam and to use the reviewer cause it would really help. He also told us of what is to come for us. We would have to study a company and its better f we would stay with 1 company for the rest of our college life. He also told us that we had to choose an adviser to help us in the projects and it would be better if the choosen adviser is similar to our atitude or something like that :D, He also told us what the higher year people were doing with there projects us guide for us. He also told us about how parents get became close because of their offsprings projects, and some became bestfriends and had their own business, hahaha. ICTM is a good way for kids and parents to get together XD.
Intrict will always be in my memories, it was because of Intrict that I learned to stay up very late for school work. IT was really fun during each class. He always gives us advice. It was a really great class :D
I hope we all pass Intrict :DSee you Sir Oli and thanks~

12th Week of Intrict~

Sir Oli showed us a video about how data is transfered through the Internet. I also learned that 5 programming languages needed to be learned; (1) JAVA!!!, (2) SQL???, (3) .Net???, (4) Web Languages..., (5) Moble Languages...
anyway, its time to dance, HAHAHAHA.
we were 1st and we performed hit me up, Kreeno was our star!!!!In the other groups;(1) Quino was imitating a rich guys which was so funny because he was fanning himself with bills, (2) In Mark's group Kevin Reyes performed the intro which was kind of malaswa but ok, hahaha, and the girls were wearing skirts, (3) Jerik was Chris Brown, which was realy funny XD, (5) Meg's group was really funny, and she was singing the steps "Shampoo, buhos, sabon..etc" hhahaha, (6) but the best part was the ultimate showdown of Shervin and Vince XD
As reward, Sir Oli told us that he would upload the 500 item reviewer. cool~

11th week of Intrict~

We were given an activity regarding car sales on different areas and year. We had to present data to a company in a way that they would understand it. Not a single group got a correct answer so we all got minus(-) points. to get rid of the minus points, we had to prepare a dance number that will be performed next week during class. hahahah.
The next meeting, I learned why the Y2K problem was really a threat to the world. All data could have been invalid or erased because of the Y2K. Sir Oli told us that LaSalle was also having a crisis about the Y2K, because the start of our ID number was based on the year we enrolled and the a computation to get the rest of the numbers. If it turned to 00-----, every one would have an ID number of 00000000 which would cause major problems. I also learned about the history of the USB, from an 8 inches disk to a small USB today, and the capacity has grown with the evolution. There is a format regarding the size of capacity. from 2byte X 2byte = 4byte X 2 byte = 8byte an soon on.
Sir Oli also taught us that the Philippines' Internet is from Taiwan, and Taiwan's is connected to the USA. We only have third hand Internet, hahaha. Oh yeah, without Planer Goks, there wouldn't be Internet on Lasalle, hahaha :P.

7th week of Intrict~

This week was all about Sir Oli's Coco juice (^_^), and about being a consultant. I learned that critical thingking and analysis is muchly needed to be a good consultant. An IS consultants job is to provide solutions for a company's problem. In the future, problems will be solve with only an IS and that means work for us, the ICT rpofessionals and more money fo succes!!! :D Being and ICT professional needs a lot of brain work so exercising our minds is a must.


8th week of Intrict~

Week 8 was supposed to be the week that sir oli teaches us how to solve the coco juice problem but it never happened, and our suggestions for the solutions were not half right XD. This week was one of the most stressful week,we had a departmental exam on Intrprg and a long exam on ScienVB which was on the same day by the way. >.< Anyways, Sir Oli gave us this index cards that we should keep cause according to him, it was the things that we needed in order to provide a good IS, or to answer ICT questions(its hard to explain :D ).


9th week of Intrict~

This week we had a field trip in Makro Makati, it was really fun and interesting. Makro had its own systems like the Makro Business System and unique packaging. Makro also has a system that records the visits and items bought of the customers that helps them provide their customers better services. Makro only accepts Just-in-time delivery and their stocks have very easy access so there is not hassle. Sir Oli also showed us the two machines to be used in the ARMM electronic election and in the 2010 electronic election. The two machines are DRE (direct reading electronic) and the OMR (optical mark reader). Important factors needed for data capturing are: (1)Completeness, (2) Correctness and Accuracy, (3) Reliability, (4) Provisions for Correction and Error Detection, and (5) WOw I like it factor (User-friendliness); there are also other factors like: (1) Environmental Application, (2) HYGENE in Use, (3) Disability Consideration, and (4) Cost, Life of Device(Durability).

We also learned about the weird things that happens during elections(cheating!!!) and the DUGYOT!!!! XD

6th week of Intrict~

During the 6th week, we had an exam and man did I screw up, I got a low score cause it was so freakin hardPhotobucket!!! Would you believe that only a few students had a passing score!!! So its back to study for the Midterms, I gotta get a high scorePhotobucket!!!

Anyways, We learned about what an Information System is and what it does. Creating a system is really important for a company and thats why a company needs an ICT professional. An Information System is composed of Software, Hardware, Data, People, Process, and Network that works together to create more accurate information anywhere, anytime. The reasons for information are: (1) Internal improvement in the conduct of operation; (2)Problems that can be solve by technology; (3) External mandate; (4) Strategically Determined. And that is why a company needs an Information System.
