When the bell rings..class is over!!!

Three things I want to get off my head.

1.If you are a Computer Science Major at UHM, take ICS 413.

2.If you are a EE major with a focus on computers at UHM, take ICS 413.

3.If you are a MIS major who is leaning towards the technical side at UHM, take ICS413.


Ok, so with that being said. I had a great time in the class watching other students tackle their development issues and try to learn how to schedule themselves to get things done. Being a little older and a non traditional student coming back to school after working a few years in Systems Administration/Engineering in some fast pace enviroments, I came adjusted for the "pop a new technology in your face and you need to know how to use it since yesterday mentality". However, I learned a lot more then I expected during this course about how to better design systems and work with others in a more directly integrated enviroment. I liked how the class was designed where we watched web cast of the class at home and did coding during the class. This lead to those initial "huh!?!" problems that are frequent in the IT world being solved by the professor or other students immediately. I definitely enjoyed working with different people on different topics during the class as I got a direct chance to see how they think through coding issues and not just the product. This helped me to find more propectives to include in my thought process enabling me to be able to pose options to issues that my team faced that were not only my primary way of doing it, but also a way I saw somebody else tackle a similar style issue.

Ok ok...I realize I am rambling on with a thought dump right now, but no better time then to let it out at the end, I figured.

So at the end I applaud all the students who gave their all during this course to become better Software Engineers and I am thankful for the opportunity to learn from everyone.
