Okay, now I know I missed week 11, but I can't remember what we did except for the fact Grace was gone for most of the tutorial as the Dean of the faculty was at Berwick so we were working on the assignment and doing lots of talking (not always about SAD, funnily enough).
This week for Berwick was exam revision week, as Grace wanted to do it, and will be at a conference next week. (We have POD next week, really looking forward to it, if nothing else that the lecture notes will be available.) She gave us a practice exam and then we worked through the answers. Thought I did quite well seeing as I hadn't started studying yet due to assignment 2 and my Flash folio for FIT2012.
Speaking of assignment 2, I think that at the moment I should have it finished on time. Grace has made up a Minimum Requirements sheet which is good, a touch more direction is great. Now just to concentrate, its hard to work on this one when I have my Flash stuff to work on as well, which is good fun and I don't get distracted by the Internet and other things around like I do with my others. I have most of it typed up actually, its just a case of working on the screen shots. Unfortunantly I didn't plan it too well when I started in the sense that I just started straight away, and not plan what exactly I needed to do. Oh well.

Week 10 and Assignment 2
First of all: Blog of the Week! I'd just like to thank the Academy, and my friends...and okay, I'll stop there!
This week we looked at Object Orientated Design. This meant that new models were introduced, such as interaction diagrams, sequence diagrams and more detailed class diagrams. It uses an iterative process, where you create a preliminary design class diagram model, followed by interaction diagrams for each use case, then return to design class diagram, then partition design class diagram in related functions, using package diagrams. We revisited coupling and cohesion (terms that, for me, go back to modularisation in year 11), as well as the other object-oriented design principles that need to be applied.
The tutorial was...interesting. It involved us trying to follow how to create the diagrams based on a dentist's booking system. I remember it making sense at the time, but this morning when I tried to start the assignment I managed to get myself confused, not helped by the fact the solution isn't up in MUSO yet and we worked in Rational Rose in the tutorial, which I don't have at home and therefore can't open the files! However, I just listened to POD's PODcast about starting assignment 2, and I have more of an idea what I should be putting in my class diagram. See, someone listens! And I highly recommend that those students who don't should be. Looking forward to Peter lecturing in week 13 at Berwick.
Oh, and I should mention that this blog seems to be set on some random time zone, and I can't work it out off the top of my head what it is - its not GMT, EST or AEST anyway. I am in fact posting at 4:20pm on Monday the 14th, not 11:00pm on the 13th. I could try and fix it, but with only 3 weeks to go, I can't be bothered.
