Pre Weekend

Friday 23/03/2007
Easiest day yet! We had 3... yes 3 tests today and yes i don't retract my earlier statement. Why?
We had 3 tests (one for each of the modules we covered this week) for our 4 day week. These modules included 'User Interface' (UI), 'Software Development Methodologies '(SDM)', and 'Client/Server Concepts' (CSC). Boy those acronyms are catchy. Each test was 10 questions and if i haven't stated before we need a 65 or above to pass.. 80 to get an 'A'.. great grading system were if you don't get a B (65-80) or above.. you fail.
1st test (CSC) I aced.. 100%
2nd test (SDM) which was covered for 2 day kinda worried me because there was a lot to memorize, but to attest to my own skill (I swear I'm not conceited) i got a 100% on that as well.
3rd test (UI) and what seemed to be the easiest... i got a 90% :( One wrong on a trick question broke my 100% streak for the day.

So anyway.. these test complete all that there is to learn for our generic stream. Funny that we've already had 5 tests and the Non-Tech classes has only had 1 this past Tuesday. Since the modules for this stream are done, we take the generic comprehensive exam on Monday and Tuesday.
Monday is the "hands-on" objective test on writing code and sql statements that lasts 3.5 hours but looking at the practice test, i can be done with it in 1 and a half.
Tuesday is the subjective test which is similar to the module test in multiple choice format but this time there is an extra choice "Not Answered" because now each wrong answer will deduct 1/4 of a point. There are 50 questions so i don't think a 1/4 of a point will be bad if i guessed. So this weekend i will review once more what we're learned and look forward to another A.

So back to why it was the easiest day. After the test we did a whole bunch of nothing. We were done at 9:30 and had the rest of the day to ourselves... unfortunately we are not allowed out of the gates until 4:30 M-F which reminds me that it is 4:18 and time for me to run!

P.S. Check out this info.
Infosys's definition of J2EE:
In this day and age of IT, J2EE is one of the most ardently sought after technology. The J2EE training focuses on the platform independent Java technology and other related tools. The trainees acquire hands on practice on HTML, XML and Java language. They are exposed to the minutiae of design of static and dynamic web pages. Debugging, one of the protracted processes is made easy through usage of tools such as Eclipse. All in all, the J2EE training strives to churn out skilled J2EE professionals who can fathom the best possible technological solution to a given business problem.

And here is what my stream learns in terms of modules:
J2EE Stream
UNIX Operating System
HTML, JavaScript and XML
Java Programming
Oracle
Advanced Java Programming
J2EE - Part 1
J2EE - Part 2
