As week ones go this was a good one. I am not the most outgoing person in the world, i know hard to believe, so having a lecture by somebody who has lectured me in the whole of two subject and partially in another (IE) and having a tutor that already know is a big bonus for me. I guess I just like what I know.In the lecture POD was on his seemingly natural caffeine induced high and kept a very jet lagged Luke entertained enough to stay awake and I think pull away a fair amount of information. POD is one of the few ppl that I don't want to stab when they go over all the stuff you have to go through at the start of a unit, eg: plagiarism and cheating. So that was a good lecture. I noticed a huge amount of overlap between data warehousing and IT for decision making units as well, so i was pleased to see that they are all singing from the same hymn sheet as well as that i wouldn't have to learn that much if i didn't want to, to at least do alright in the unit. How hard are POD's units anyways?
Passing really isn't my objective, it's to get a grip of the subject matter so that i can do my minor thesis which is going to be tremendous. It is very dawnting to think of writing all those words. I'm scared enough of writing 20 pages for my research methods subject i'm taking this semester.
The assignment sounds practical and sensible. I like building things so i think i will enjoy it.
The tutorial was good, i especially liked the $5,000 gadget question that infoholic asked. I wanted a Samsung LED TV (pictured) which is just the coolest thing at the moment.
This is the 4th blog i've had (yes it is a semi-requirement) to do for a subject POD, so i am well versed. I hope i am getting better at it at least so that these aren't as boring to read as they had been. I might start video blogging again, I don't know, it's much more difficult to get organised in the head, but sometimes quicker.
Anyways, here's to another successful semester!
