Finals Week!

Finals as the stand so far:

Monday - My hardest day due to the back to back finals I had.
First up was CIS 334 :

Advanced Windows Applications Programming
Methods and techniques of designing and Implementing Windows software applications. Case study will provide a framework for developing working prototypes of business applications using a graphical user interface, object?oriented language.

That one was not to bad actually even though I arrived late I managed to finish early. I don’t know if that is a good or bad thing but oh well, I just hope I did ok

Next up was CIS 326:

Database Management Systems Concepts and Design
Study of database management concepts and techniques. Emphasis on data modeling using various data models such as semantic object, entity-relationship, relational, hierarchical, and network. Discussion and application of SQL to develop and query databases. Additional topics include database administration, study of micro and mainframe DBMS such as SQL/DS (DB2), client-server database environment, and distributed databases. Completion of a major study project is required.

Real riveting stuff huh? Anyways, this one was a real monster. I don’t think I did very well on it so I will probably have a B or a C in this one, I would have liked to have done better on this one but there was just to much to remember and not enough room left in my brain. ;)

Wendesday - My early day, my single final began at 8:45 to a lovley day with a tempuraure of 9 degrees farienheight (oh boy). The final for this day was CIS 275:

CIS 275 Web Application Development for Business I
Introduction to the key concepts of developing business applications for the World Wide Web, a critical element of successful e-business systems. Provides extensive hands-on experience of an introductory nature in several important web technologies such as HTML, XHTML, CSS, XML, ASP, and scripting languages (e.g., JavaScript and/or VBScript).

This final wasn’t exactly hard as annoying. This course is taught by the professor that I hate the most, Richard Johnson. I have my reasons that I will not go into because I have him next semestar. I have one word to describe this final, STUPID, although he did give us a study guide on is lovley website that ended up being the final so I did have about half of it done when I stumbled into the class today so I guess that is something. We had to design the following:

Create a small web site that meets these requirements:
Using Dreamweaver, create a home page that has two graphics with some explanatory text. One graphic will cause Page A to display in a new window and the other will cause Page B to load in a new window.

Page A uses JavaScript to process form data. Using the form, the user can enter a number in a text box. When one button is clicked, the number is added to an array. When another button is clicked, the numbers in the array are averaged.

Page B displays the contents of a three-field data file bound to a table. When the user mouse’s over any single item in the table, the item becomes bold.

You can see what I did here. It uses DHTML soo Firefix may not like it.

Thuresday - Probably the lease difficult and annoying of of the lot.
Today is MGT 340:

Organizational Behavior and Management

A study of individual, interpersonal, and group behavior within organizations and the behavioral implications of management processes. The interaction of human, technological, structural, global, ethical, and environmental factors are also discussed.

I like this class and professor which suprised the hell out of me. The final was the easiest one to date and I finished it in almost no time. I would estimate that it took me 10 min or less which is insanley fast for a semester final. I even took time to check the whole thing over a few times before I handed it in so I hope it went as well as it seemed to. Well, I am finallly done for the semester and now I can hopefully relax some get everythin sorted out before the new semester. The only part of the holiday that I think will be tough is seeing how I get through Christmas with out having a signifigant other but hopefully it won’t be that big of a deal as for the most part I am moving on nicley but there are still times that I wish things would have worked out better. Oh well there’s lofe for ya. ;) Have holidays to you all and I will see you next time!
