This week, FIT2001 got off to a bit of a bad start, seeing as the lecture notes weren't up when I checked them Wednesday afternoon before work, and then I wasn't able to use the Internet that night, and then forgot how MUSO is down for maintenance Thursday mornings! I really don't like having no lecture notes, but there wasn't much I could do about it!
The lecture itself was more interesting than the last two weeks, and it really felt like I had learnt something a bit more to the assignment (and real life, for that matter!). I enjoyed learning about stakeholders and the questions they should be asked, as well as different techniques for gathering information.
The tutorial was good once again. It was interesting to hear that podcast with Jason Fried. His ideas about embracing constraints and building top-down I found quite intriguing. We then got into groups to work out questions for our "interview". I knew that we were doing an interview for the assignment, but I was surprised to discover it would be just next week. I was expecting it to be a little closer to the assignment, after we've had time to work through it and figure out what further information we need to know. Due to other assignments and the like, I hadn't even listened to the whole mp3 file yet. So now I'm going to have to sit down with this week's notes and the mp3, figure out what sort of questions we should be asking, what the mp3 file answered, etc. Hopefully that will be enough!
