Journal: January 4,5,6 Class Report

     January 4 at 2PM, we started the discussion about the investigating system requirements. In the first reporter,  its very useful for me because it enlighten my mind about the gathering of data. It is useful when we are making our final project. This report is very critical because it tells about the correct approach when gathering data and one material to build a system is you need to have an accurate data gathering in order to make a good system. They also discuss about how to interview and what shall we do to be an effective interviewer when we want to know something about the information of a company. The things that stock inside my head about what the reporter told us is you need to have an eye to eye contact which i failed to do. Starting this time, i will assure that every interview that i will be make, i will try to look the eyes of the person who i am interviewing and try to show some interest. Be early in the meeting and don't let them wait and also, you need to shake his/her hands which i am shy to this.

   

           January 5, the next reporters topic are modeling systems requirements and the traditional approach to requirements. The reporter about modeling system, i really don't absorb the information that much. The traditional approach which i and Brian reported, is an approach in developing a system where you can only see the process and procedure but you cant see how the system does it. Some implementation of traditional approach is the dfd or data flow diagram. In DFD you can see the flow and structure of the system. Basically, by just looking in the diagram, you will know the limitation and the flow of the system. For me, its a simple way in showing the system structure to those people who are not deeply a technical person because its easy to understand.

          The last report is all about the object- Oriented Approach to Requirements and Evaluating alternative approach to requirements. Object oriented approach is a good approach when developing a system. It is more accurate method for me because the user will know every process and execution of the system. I also learn that we need to find alternative approach when developing a system and don't rely on one approach. It is more effective if you will combine those approach for a better output. We are currently developing a system right now and we are planning to use the traditional and small part of an object oriented approach.
