Im starting school tomorrow, High School! Woopiee! Well, I hear I'm gonna have a lot of homework and since up starting up drum lessons again, I probably won't have much free time, oh yeah and I got a g/f thanks to the help of Anti-Trend! Thanks for the advice! :good: The only interesting classes I took were Web design, which is the next semester, and Intro to drafting/autocad! I'll try my best to stop by every day for atleast a few minutes! See you later guys! Oh yeah, YOU GUYS ROCK! :waycool: \m/
i'm starting on thursday. nothing special its my gcses. theres not enough stuff to do with IT in my school. compulsory subjects french, core subjects.
last year for me at secondary school. and yeah not enough ICT courses, only a vocational course which teaches in how to use Word and make spreadsheets...hm..like I didn't know that already. French compulsory? harsh ...I dropped French about three years ago. I still had to do it, but I didn't learn to much..eh heh.
I started 2 weeks ago. I have Data Structures in Java, Relational Databases, Web-Client programming (XHTML 1.0 Strict and Javascript), Document managing (it really is about Photoshop) and Media managing (We use, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Sound Forge and Adobe Premiere. The only boring class I have is Relational DB. All we do is models and models and models, for now.....Kinda like algorithms when you start learning programming
I'm taking a major break from school. I should've been able to pass everything fine, but there's the whole motivation thing...I stopped throwing money away on school when I failed a class twice that in a subject I pretty much aced in high school. Entry level general science should've been a breeze. Doing the work would've helped though.
My Uni has already started. Unfortunately, I can't take any CIS subjects until I finish some idotic business courses. Currently doing subjects like Speech, english, literaturec, economics blah blah blah!!!!!. Probably next semester my major would start. I Think I should have taken CS or CE rather than CIS because it is not that much in depth.
High school in the U.S sounds a lot better than in UK. The only thing we'll do in IT classes is ... .... Boring. Theres hardly any web design classes and i' gonna end up in a class of IT illiterates who are gonna be learning to use spreadsheets and databases. God help me.
Yeh I don’t think there are any web design courses you can do a school/college or uni! I think if you do GNVQ at college, you get to do a bit of web design! I would have loved it if they had web design! I did ICT, which I got an 'A' in! That’s what I am doing at uni.
Isn't IT the same as CIS. I mean that both of them are business orientation with little emphasis on hardware and indepth knowledge about programming and graphics. I think all this would come under CS or CE.
This is what comes under ICT... Year One Software Development Techniques I System Analysis & Design Introduction to Communication Introduction to Computer Hardware Year Two Information Systems Development Computer Systems Design Database Systems Software Development Techniques II Communications Systems & Networks Final Year Any four from; Visual Programming Computer Networks Advanced Computer Architecture Software Development Techniques Management of Technology
These must be the courses without the elective crap,... There are some similarities. Following are the my CIS courses. Mandatory Major Courses: CIS 2200: Introduction to computers. CIS 3100: Object-Oriented Programming I (bascially C++) CIS 3400: Database Management Systems I CIS 4100: Object-Oriented Programming II (C++ part 2) CIS 4450: Networks and Telecommunications I CIS 4800: Systems Analysis and Design CIS 5800: Information Systems Development Project Any Two Courses from the following: CIS 3200: Business Applications Programming I CIS 4150: Internet Applications Development CIS 4200: Business Applicatons Programming II CIS 4201: Assemebler language Concepts and Functions CIS 4400: Database Management Systems II CIS 4500: Networks and Telecommunications II CIS 4610: Expert (knowledge based) Systems and Related Technologies CIS 4630: Multimedia: Theory and Applications CIS 4650: Operating System Concepts CIS 4670: Special Topics in Computer Information Systems OPR 3450: Quantitive Decision Making for Business I Minor: MTH 3300: Alogrithm and computer programming I MTH 3400: Alogrithm and computer programming II
Just finished first day, I really like it. The school has two levels and is over 1/4 of a mile wide, but they got maps around the school so you can find your way! I think I'm gonna like it, and the babes! hehe! Well, good luck all of you guys!
My speech class is going to be the toughest of all this semester. I hate giving lectures in front of the class.
