Thank you Mr Module Coordinators for CS1101C and CS1102X/Y! It is SO EXTREMELY EASY for someone like me who has spent 1 damn semester learning C programming to suddenly know everything about the JAVA LANGUAGE the next semester!
Thank you for assuming that I would have spent my holidays learning the Java language on my own for 0 modular credits! Only SMART people like you can possibly assume that we engineering students are so extremely enthusiastic about CS1102X/Y that we would spend time and effort to learn something that wouldn't directly help us to graduate! Only SMART people like you would know that we can learn in 2 weeks of self-study, something that students from other faculties took 1 semester! We engineering students are such geniuses that we might as well do our bachelors and masters and doctorates in 4 years! We're so smart that you should go eat your own shit and die! Wow!
There was this guy in the programming lab just now that was behaving so loserly. He kept kaopeh-ing about how unfair it is for us engineering students w/o any undertanding of java to be made to attempt such difficult lab questions, that he had no idea at all what to do and so on. C'mon lah, ALL of us are helplessly lost. Why are you being such a loser and whining and making a whole lot of noise. GROW UP man! But I'm only critisicing his behaviour. I too agree that it is unfair and a stupid mistake on the course coordinators' part. They should grade us in the end according to different standards, normal for those who are from SOC with CS1101J (J for Java) background and extremely leniently for those of us who are from Engineering with CS1101C background.
Sure they might argue 'Oh we'll just make the actual programming a very small percentage of the final grade, say 20%. What we really look out for is the ALGORITHM.' But look here buster. We have no inkling whatsoever about the java language! We can only think in lines of C! Naturally you would be testing us on ALGORITHMS that only make sense and are possible in JAVA language! Something that the C language algorithm is seldom capable of doing! We can't even give you a sound algorithm that would solve the problem!
calm down pangy....
Spent a bomb today $79.30 on 2 books. $40.30 for
Advanced Engineering Mathematics by
Keryszig and $39.00 on
Data Abstraction and problem solving in Java : Walls and Mirrors by
Frank Carrano and Janet Prichard. Since I didn't spend any money at all for 2 weekends, I'll spend my money on expensive and heavy textbooks. Need to survive these modules and get damned As...
