NO SPOONFEEDING!!

Hmm... the teachers in secondary school used to nag and nag at our work, how we perform, whether we talk in class, whether we do our homework, about our results, and everything. But in uni....

In orientation, I remember one of the teachers said: "Lecturers come in and Teach, their Job is to teach! But there are so MANY of you in one class, so we do not have the time to take care of each one of you. If you don't hand in your assignments, its YOUR marks, if you don't want to come to lectures, its YOUR choice. Most Lecturers might not even know your NAME!! But that doesn't mean they don't care!!"

Okay, quit all the bs, I know they care, they care about their money.... just like the way they have so much money that they can give out RM50's to students.


As the title says, NO SPOONFEEDING, is definitely applied in this Uni. For this week's Lab Sessions, the lecturers say "All you have to do is PREPARE"... yea, prepare.... but when you look at all those lab sheets and lecture notes on the internet, its like reading Tamil~!! In today's Lab, it was our first session for learning to operate the Unix Operating System....

And all the lecturer has to do is: "Okay, you can all refer to your lab sheet and start now...."..... What the F was that?? I've NEVER done programming, I've never touched a Unix comp, in the lab sheet are exercises like:

Translate the algorithm below into a Java main() method. Use the example at the end of lecture one as a guide.
INPUT integerOne and integerTwo
sum = integerOne + integerTwo
diff = | integerOne – integerTwo |
OUTPUT sum and diff

Well.... at least we managed to make it through the 1st lab session by copying and helping each other out in the lab.... (no help from the lecturer, pardon me, he just tells you the exact same thing thats written in the computer)

So, from now on, its all up to myself and yourselves to learn and continue to survive in uni.

Hi, Shaun here.

Didn't you asked about the accomodation in Lakeside before you came in here? I was stayin in Villa last sem and couldn't stand it there, and so I moved out here at Senadin. Lakeside should be worse I guess...I'll hormat you if you survive there though. lol~

haha, this algorithm smells like ST151. Last time when I do that, I was also blur like sotong. The lecturer/tutor just throw some exercise for me to do, and he didn't even give me the correct answer in the end, who knows my answer was right or wrong!? Luckily I got some help from the senior, I managed to understand what the heck was happening. So if you guys ever need help can come for me. I just passed ST151 last sem, and things about this unit is still fresh in my memory.

Well, keep up your blog. hehe~

hmm.. i have no idea what ST151 ... , damn those constant changes in the syllabus, ... haha, during the time when it was still java programming in first year ... it's pretty much the same... the lecture notes are useless and the java programming handbook is your only road to salvation... haha... and i still have it lying somewhere too... =P

ST151= Software Technology 151, one of the units taken by CS and BTech students.

Well, I might also have to look up for a Java programming handbook somewhere from the library or elsewhere, or else I don't think I'm gonna survive much longer.
