^ hhmmmm...hope not!

The only reason I did so much better on this exam was his study guide...that thing really was pretty accurate. Yes, it included TOO MUCH information (like lots of it wasn't on the test), but at least he didn't really "not include" anything on it that we saw on the test. Plus I already knew everything about the internet, so that helped. Phew, good to know I got at least 1 A on one of his exams.

10/18/2005 12:02:58 PM

did anyone go to class today??? what did we do

10/18/2005 12:44:04 PM

haha yea I skipped too, thanks to vista.

10/18/2005 1:17:43 PM

did he say anything about a curve today???

10/20/2005 10:52:08 AM

No mention of the test all, no mention of a curve.

He went strictly over Chapter 13 today, nothing extra. Just reading slides. Most. Boring. Class. Ever.

10/20/2005 12:06:06 PM

i knowwwww i skip WAYYY to much

10/20/2005 12:35:18 PM

So has he actually handed the test back yet?

10/20/2005 1:14:28 PM

has he handed out a review sheet for the next test yet??

i havent been to class since the last test

10/26/2005 12:47:47 PM

No new review sheet yet, he hasn't mentioned it.

10/26/2005 2:46:25 PM

i hope he makes one this time, it really helped me having something to go by while studying

10/26/2005 6:18:06 PM

Oh no doubt...I'm gonna holla at him tomorrow mornin' and make sure he's giving us a study guide for Test 3. I'll post back what he says...of course, you slackers should just come to class

10/26/2005 6:20:44 PM

i think i'm going to try to come tomorrow, but we will see what happens

10/26/2005 6:22:25 PM

i've committed to not going to that class besides on test days

also don't forget our projects are due 1 week from tues (nov 8)

get that shit done early and turn it in at the next test so you can skip class more often

10/26/2005 9:03:37 PM

Man, I went today and I'm tired as balls. Slept through most of it so I wasted my time.

Anyway, test review sheets to be distributed on Tuesday Nov. 1st.

10/27/2005 9:53:08 AM

slept through it...yet again.

10/27/2005 10:47:06 AM

did he hand the previous test back yet?? any mention of a curve?

10/27/2005 2:51:01 PM

I dunno if he handed 'em back...I think he just put our scores on Vista and kept our tests. No mention at all of a curve.

10/27/2005 9:34:32 PM

During today's class he handed out the study guide for our test Thursday...he said he'd post it on Vista.

He also covered some slides only on the I drive, well, 'til now.

Here they are for those who can't understand this man's obsession with the ever elusive "i drive" (me included)

11/1/2005 5:52:42 PM

^you're the man...very much appreciated

11/1/2005 5:57:39 PM

THANKS

11/1/2005 6:11:47 PM

have yall decided on you term project topics yet???

I don't think the assignment itself will be difficult, just deciding what to do it on

11/1/2005 8:13:52 PM

This may be a stupid question, but does anyone know exactly what he means by a 1 page "management summary"?

11/1/2005 8:27:20 PM

i think its basically just a summary of your power point, but i could be wrong

11/1/2005 8:36:26 PM

how the fuck do i log into vista?

its not allowing me to, what are we supposed to be using for our log in and pw? what we use for unity or something else?

11/1/2005 9:30:11 PM

since i apparently still havent figured out how to study for this class, gimme some pointers on what to do. should i go through the study guide and ppt slides to outline the chapters or something else??

11/1/2005 9:52:56 PM

^^ yes, use your unity login and pw. sometimes they do maintenance work on the site and shut it down for a little, otherwise i dont know. i was able to log on earlier and get the study guide.

11/1/2005 10:02:23 PM

^^NO the online quizzes are not relevant at all

just go over the review sheet and know everything on there, you will do fine

11/1/2005 10:20:31 PM

thanks..

11/1/2005 10:30:06 PM

thanks-- vista works now, i guess it was down before

someone mentioned that he said some of the stuff on the review sheet wasn't on the test and there would be some stuff on the test that isn't on the review sheet....

any tips for studying beyond the study guide? sticking to the guide last time got me a B on the test and considering i never went to class--- i'll take it!!

11/1/2005 10:42:43 PM

I'm starting to wonder if everyone gets B's in there I got a B both times ... first time I studied my ass off, second time I didn't study at all.

11/1/2005 11:14:59 PM

Ill be at the Cary Barnes and Noble all evening if anyone wants to join me for a study sesh!

11/2/2005 2:05:32 PM

I just got from the library and feel like i didnt learn anything, if anyone wants to give a short review of the last 4 things on the study sheet feel free to do so

11/2/2005 10:55:59 PM

^same here! i am just going over the powerpoint slides. think that is enough??

11/2/2005 11:01:09 PM

i just went through the book and read the stuff since its the same stuff he does in class

11/2/2005 11:09:43 PM

i tried to go by the review sheet, but its pretty vague

11/2/2005 11:13:04 PM

officially the worst class i have ever taken @ NCSU.

11/2/2005 11:17:39 PM

^i'll have to agree

ahh how i miss nelson hall

here is a review of part of the first short essay question from the study guide. all the info is straight from the book, so it should be right, but dont hold me to it.


Advantage of commercially available application software packages: can save time and money by using the prewritten, predesigned, pretested software programs from the package. package vendors supply much of the ongoing maintenance and support for the system, including enhancements in line w/ technical and business developments. (only use if package can fulfill most of the organization's requirements which are usually universal functions with standard processes that do not change a great deal over time)

Disadvantage: some software packages come with customization options, but the more customization you need, the more expensive it gets to implement. as newer versions of the software are released more customization may be needed. if software package is used, organization no longer has total control over system design process. software packages may cause constraints for business processes that result in a loss of flexibility, especially for organizations that have been in existence in some time and change is not as easy as a newly formed company.

Was it me or was there a disproportionate # of questions that had the answer "E) all of the above"???

11/3/2005 9:08:12 AM

^ Definitely. Nearly every question that could be "E. All of the Above", was.

I didn't have *too* much trouble w/ the A-E questions, but I found the True/False kinda tricky and not really related to what he told us to study. He would include the terminolgy in random examples (like w/ the school and bank and such) and I wasn't prepared to relate the terms w/ situations. Probably my own fault but still...


I think I did decent, not great though.

11/3/2005 9:15:59 AM

^ you in downstairs of nelson??

11/3/2005 9:20:58 AM

too many e's made me uncomfortable.

im in nelson right now.

11/3/2005 9:28:16 AM

^ yea man, I had four E's in a row and it was driving me crazy. But all the answer choices were right!

11/3/2005 9:30:46 AM

lol yeah I'm in the Nelson computer labs...got a grey sweater on, earbuds w/ black cables, listening to an iPod 'til I go get some eats here in a min

11/3/2005 9:34:51 AM

the last 10-15 questions were all either D or E for me and a lot of all of the above toward the beginning as well

glad i stuck to my guns with my questions, sounds like everyone thought the same thing

i turned in my project on thursday with the test-- holler at sleeping in on tues

11/5/2005 2:23:33 PM

haha yea.....we'll see, I just hope he doesn't get up there and say that while "E was right, B was the BEST answer"...i hate shit like that.

11/5/2005 2:26:24 PM

how many slides has everyone put in their projection, and how much work is going into the pp?

11/6/2005 11:56:37 PM

havent started

gonna do that tomorrow
someone give me some ideas
