It’s toward the end of my third course. So there would be some questions asked:
1. What did they teach you?
Basically,
– Operating system (OS): Kernel, Distributed systems, Concurrent transactions, Deadlock, ACID, some applicable (yet not practical for me) OS algorithms and much more (bullshit topics)
– Data management n handling (DMnH): basic data strutures and (search n sorting) algorithms
– Entrepreneurship: Entrepreuneur n Intrapreneur “myths”, Creativity, Innovation, 4Ps, Business plan, Environment assessment, legal structures n issues and some small (interesting) topics
– Software engineering (SE): honestly, I didn’t notice what they taught exactly (just recognized the slide’s always overwhelming by words :)) though, on the other hand, I’ve learned “something” in the lecture-times. Perhaps, there were some topics such as … pseudocode !?, refactoring and SW constructions (’cause they occured in the exam) LOL
2. What have you learned?
Well,
OS:
- “(Microsoft) Windows is extremely fast after a fresh install. If you want to make it stay that way: – don’t use it!!” (use Linux instead!!!)
- Know how to justify a doc in M.Office. haha
DMnH:
- How to come home in the shortest way after getting lost…
- Don’t put your loves into a stack!
- Oh, I haven’t learned so much in my dear subj 🙁
Entrepreneurship:
- “Life is not fair, get used to it!” (though I believe life itself is absolutely fair!)
- If I copy information from one source (without credits), it’s called “Plagiarism“. But if I copy from multiple sources, it’s called “Research“!?
- “Talk is cheap!!” (yah, almost all ppl can talk the talk)
SE:
- How time is wasted and how long it is!!
- “There is always one more imbecile (as well as genius) than you counted on”.
- How stupid I was and I am!
3. What did you do?
- Evaluated some kind of input.
- Read, Copied and pasted; Read, copied and … 😀
- Wrote my most professional journal and many “useful” articles 🙂
- “Tricked n Cheated” !?
4. What have you achieved?
Fortunately, a lot!:D But most of them are intangible. So hard to tell!
5. What do you regret?
- Absent all deadlock lessons
- Absent only few days
- Spent too much time out-of-interest!!
- Didn’t do any/many useful things (in different areas)
6. Was it worth it?
My heart says YES, but my head says NO. lol
