Week 5

Busy times are happening at the moment and I just feel like time is slipping away. But lets do something different for a change. lets start with the studio

Well I didnt mind this week. It was very difficualt and challenging. First exercise was to create an event table using the example of a lift. It seemed easy when told but found it extremly difficualt to doccument it and what goes on. the whole class and even tutor found it extremely difficualt but have found it usefull and gave me experience in which i can then learn in the future to really sit down and think about it properly. then the class diagrams of an universtity wasn't too bad, i actually found it extremely easy but maybe due to doing it in programming.

ok now the lecture. learnt about the traditional or structured apporach where we talked about event tables, DFD, Decision talbes, Dicision tree and process dependency diagram. i had learnt in the past about dfd but i never really understood dfd and the abstraction it can have. there is first the context diagram and then level 0 and so on but they then can link to each other. i thought there was only 1 level and it shows everything which this way is much easier. it makes sense.

Mid semester break comming up, cant wait but its goign to be a short break with all the assignments comming up.
