Week 1 in FIT2001

So we are asked to express your expectations of this subject, and include a reflection on what has happened in the first week of FIT2001 and lessons learnt to date.

My expectations of this subject:

• To learn how to analyze systems and build a suitable solution for it.
• To learn and understand what techniques are used to do the above.
• To get acquainted with the tools professional system designers use to build system designs.
• I expect to be able to walk away form this course at the end and be able to better analyze, document and design system solutions to use in my businesses and/or ideas and help others.

What happened in the first week:

• I took time to get to know how muso worked.
• I spent time trying to figure out which course i was doing and got confused since they all had different titles in muso which made me think i was enrolled in the wrong courses (I'm enrolled as a Off-Campus Grad Dip in Comp) so being a virtual student it was tough trying to make sense of everything fist off.
• I started downloading the materials and lecture notes and studied them.
• I came across the podcast of the lectures inc FIT2001 and finally made sense of everything from it. I like! wish all lectures had podcasts, it a great way to learn.
• I got my texts which were EXPENSIVE but at the end of the day they are very useful and im sure ill be using it professionally as a reference, besides its an investment in me..
• I tried to make sense of what activities the OC students were supposed to do, since the podcast i realized we do the same activities inc, this blogger, which is pretty cool.

Lessons learnt to date:

• First and most important lesson was to leant what systems analysis and design IS.
• Learnt that there are two major ways of structuring programs, structured and OOP which effects system design.
• I leanrt there is tools you can use to help in design and analysis.
• I leanrt or made sense of how the OC learning works.
