SAD: Assignment 2

When we talk about Software Development i prefer the predictive approach, but when talking about my personal objectives in life i prefer the adaptive approach. Relating to the quote "practice makes perfect" experience is more necessary than just knowledge and thinking about what will happen in the future.

Based on the model's activities, i created my own version of the model relating it to my objectives in life.

1. Establishing path

Knowing what my needs and wants in the future will give me an idea of what to do and where to go. Planning a right perspective for my goals in life would set the path to achieve my goals.

2. Past learning

Talking about the experiences from others will also give an idea to what my goals would be and its consequences. Learning from their past experiences and listening to their advices is very useful.

3. Trial and error

This phase is to test my skills and knowledge of what i've learned from others and my own experiences. Every stage in life and events are unique so learning and experiencing it is mandatory to grow and finally qualify for achieving my goals in life.

5. Testing

Once the paths are already established and experience are already sufficient, its time to apply it in the real scenario of life and do my best. In this phase, i've already learned everything so there must be no reasons to doubt and quit.

6. Maintenance

After attaining the desired result of testing and achieving my objectives and goals in life, maintaining will take place. It is not necessarily difficult to maintain since it was already tested and proven.

SAD: Assignment 1

At first, i don't really have knowledge about computers and technology but as time goes by, i've learned that studying about technology is necessary. For the past 3 years i've learned about programming, designing, testing, and also maintaining. Creating systems are not new to me and doing these task needs a lot of effort and time, thus considering our limitations and skills is also important. Speaking of effort and time, these includes in-depth study and practice thus making the task more challenging. But in doing systems we considered a more simple system that suits our skills so that the risks are not that difficult.

The company that we considered for making a system is the ESLA Cooperative which is a multipurpose cooperative that is presently into micro-finance project extending capital assistance to the ambulant food vendors of Davao City by way of short-term loans. Since the cooperative is using a manual recording of datas like written reports and hard copy of profiles, they needed a much easier and much efficient way of doing their recording. And also since the task of the micro-finance project is very complex and risky because it involves money and record issues like the releasing of loans, collection of daily loan amortizations, daily disbursements, recording of loan receivables and interest income and most specially in the preparation of financial statements then the cooperative needed a system that will take care of this issues in a much efficient way.

Our group came to this idea of a Recording System that will address their problem of manually recording the daily transactions and also decrease this recording issues. The purpose of this Recording System is to record, update and compute data like identification of beneficiaries, payments of loan amortizations, daily disbursements, recording of loan receivables and interest income.

This Recording System would create and update a client's profile as well as the client's information. It also has a search engine that will cater the user to immediately view and update the client's profiles and current status.

Reflection ( SAD1 Session )

The discussions we had last thursday and friday went well. Although, honestly, i didn't liked the idea of having a class in a supposed to be "christmas vacation" and intramurals, it did gave me a few realizations. 1st - i am a computer science student and learning about my field must be prioritized. 2nd - i must pass the subject and learn.
The reporters did well and discussing it with their experiences is more interesting than just discussing the book. From the past subjects, i only thought of being a programmer in the future but now it turned out to be something more. Studying System Analysis and Design makes the course more interesting and exciting. I've learned alot about the need of a company or what is happening within the development team. The reporters delivered their reports well, although sometimes there are boring intervals but still we learned alot. It was a miracle that i didn't sleep at discussions, i guess the vitamins did great for me or the discussions just went well and was very interesting.
