Assignment 1 on SAD1

At first, our group proposal was rejected by our previous instructor, Ma'am Tammy. The reason is for its simplicity that it is a small system (a system record keeping for day care center in Ulha Village, Ulas) I think it doesn't worth the three or more years of learning from the university for that. After our proposal being rejected, Ma'am Tammy suggested us that instead of studying outside the campus, we can conduct our study inside the university by choosing one of the university's department who need a system or for enhancing an existing system. Ma'am Tammy suggesting many department (about 9 departments... as I can remember) and our group pick up the Personnel Information System for the Human Resource department.
With our chosen system department. I think it worth the three or more years of learning I get from the university since it is part of the university as well. With this, analysis and designing will be complex as the university evolve. We will need to study more about analyzing, designing and techniques as the system will continue to evolve.
Were hoping that our group can help the department with our studies as for our group are trying our best.

Reflection on SAD1 Discussion

I'm really amazed of how fast our discussion in 7 long chapters in a short period of time of one and a half days. Honestly, because of this fast phase, my head aches of absorbing all I can remember. Well, I just have to review though.
After all the reporting, I start to think that being a Computer Science student does not mean only to work with computers. I realize now that System Analysis and Design is not only done in computers only but you should have an interaction to other people as well. In the process of analyzing a system as well as designing, we are obligate to make solutions in the problems of our clients. Yet, from our discussion, analyzing and designing are amazingly takes a lot of time more than I imagine. Computer programming is just one of the phase in SAD after analyzing and designing that I think before the only role for a CS student.
Now were done in our report discussion, lets try our best for our major paper and assignments.
