Hi, I would like to ask about the workload(or "homework load") in MMU for compsci. How many assignments, tutorials, lab works every month?

QUOTE(kailoonthedog @ Mar 17 2012, 01:15 PM) I'm studying bachelor in IT major security tech , assignments differ from subject , like my Computer Programming 1 subject has 2 assignments , whereas Database System has only One assignments . Lab Works is every week once of course , and some might required you to do the work in the class , for e.g Digital System and when you completed the task the lecturer will give you marks , after that go back finish the report and pass up . As for my programming after going through the tutorial it will call you to go back and do the question provided . For my databse lecturer only go through the tutorial with us LOL , and the marks all push to assignment as presentation marks...... So, you have FIVE subjects? For quiz in subject like math or discrete structure , it will be conducted this week and next next week , the pattern always the same. For programming and digital system , there'll be a lab test . Digital system labtest is i need to do the question provided , design a circuit , after that pass it up , then next task is build the circuit out then viola you're done . For programming my lecturer provides 3 question to us , from easy to hard , so you do it all you get full 10 marks Added on March 17, 2012, 1:23 pmBTw i thought you oredi study COmp Science or IT in MMU oredi? 1. Computer Programming 1 - 2 Assignments(since there's 14 weeks so its like 3 - 4 weeks to do the assignment right? and is it to make a "big" program?) - Weekly lab work - Tutorial(Got marks or not?) - 2 weeks per test 2. Database System - 1 Assignment(so, 8 - 10 week for the assignment? and what's the mark for it?) - Tutorial(but no marks since the lecturer .........) 3. Maths - What kind of maths? calculus, discrete maths? 4. Digital System - 2 weeks per test - weekly lab work(have to finish within the period(and mark on the spot) or can bring back home? and when pass up the report? the following week or within the same week?) - Build the circuit? as in physically? 5. Discrete Structure - What's this about? btw, your programming subject is in what subject? C++, java? Easy or hard? can show show(maybe we can exchange questions what's the credit hours for the subjects? (if possible, list down all) I'm studying Computer Science elsewhere since MMU cyberjaya doesn't have the course that I wanted(which is the one that you're studying which is only available at Malacca), so, I have opted for another choice, not that into security field that I wanted but still security related. Added on March 17, 2012, 4:53 pmbtw, wth? when did MMU have intake for feb? I thought is may/june? == This post has been edited by wcypierre: Mar 17 2012, 04:53 PM |

QUOTE(kailoonthedog @ Mar 17 2012, 05:11 PM) 1.)Computer Programming oh okay, at my uni, tutorial is tutorial, lab work is lab work, hence, the confusion - Lab = tutorial - You get 10 marks full from tutorial(lab) if you pass up every take back homework and pass up next week (i get low because always lazy to do LOL) - And the end of month you will have a Lab Test , where lecturer give you 3 easy to hard question , solve it inside lab and you can go back earlier like a boss LOL ( experience it = =) - For Computer Programming you'll only have one midterm test . - BTW during the entire lab the lecturer will also give you one side mission(small task) , that's beside doing every homework given in lab in order to get 10 marks , you also need to do one thing call See And Code , where a sample program is given and program out to do the same function as it is (mine nominated as best - Computer Programming 1 teaches C++ , but only cover basic C stuff that C++ inherit plus maybe your lecturer kind enough he will teaches object oriented stuff like class , and also STL(standard template .....) - This subject rather special , coursework mark 60 instead of 50 just like others. - There are two assignments you need to do where both are creating console program using C++ , the only thing is 1st assignment easier + lecturer won't be strict in this but 2nd one ...... , if you want i can give you see my 2nd assignment program but no source code can be given.Don't worry for assignment i also did it last minute , my 2nd assignment only took me 2 days to complete , then the headache stuff comes , that is writing report for it. - BTW i forgot one thing , that is QUIZ!!!! it will be conducted in lecture class instead of lab , as when you have to wait for the lecturer to tell when . Some lecturer won't tell because he/she wants you to attend every class(not like me skipping till 6x% attendance , always cannot wake up at 8 am). - Be good to the lecturer LOL , but i always find trouble with him because he always laugh at people assignment that's not good = = , btw he laugh like sin chan. Over all Marks Distribution : Quizzes = 5 % Assignment = 5% + 15%: 20% Test (Mid Term Test + Lab Test) = 10% + 10%: 20% Tutorial = 15%(the homework = =) Final Exam = 40% The lab test must be solved within the lab session? So, as long as you do all and pass up, you will get full marks? I mean, even if you didn't do that well in the "see and code", you will still get like 8 out of 10 or something? Is there any requirements to do data validation and stuff? You just reminded me of a good question, how's the timetable?(My uni's timetable kinda sucks) Erm, if possible apart from the program(without source code), I want the question as well What kind of report? Input/output sample? Added on March 17, 2012, 5:24 pm QUOTE -Total assignment marks is 30% because labtest/quiz marks has been put into the assignment as presentation , you gotta have to complete the database + interface and make presentation , if you wanna play trick do as mine , upload a corrupted one during the deadline to lecturer then she will email you next or next 2 days mention it's corrupted so you need email her new one , that time you have spare time 1-2 days to complete the unfinished. LOL. What's the time period to complete the assignment? and what's the dbms used? msaccess, mysql, or mssql or oracle?This post has been edited by wcypierre: Mar 17 2012, 05:24 PM |

QUOTE(kailoonthedog @ Mar 17 2012, 05:26 PM) As long as you fulfill the task requirement , you can't get full marks nobody ever get full marks in assignment before , just like essay how well you write should minus 1-2 marks . You need fulfill requirement , then marks oni evaluated , else 0 marks. you should say error checking or input validation instead of data validation(web programming term) , yes assignment need if it got mention in the rule . Timetable differ from sem to sem LOL . Question cannot give leh lecturer will say i violate then kill me . Report , input/output , pseudocode algorithm / flowchart and etc(forgot ) Yeah, of course not full marks, but at least like if you do all then can get like 7-8 out of 10? Sry, I AM a webdeveloper and just shifted back to c++ for not a long while so its something that is kinda hard to get rid of Of course I know la, but I mean got from like many 8am classes or not? got classes till 6-7pm or not? or all within like 10 - 4? haha okay, I'll understand. pseudocode? omg. then I assume that the program that is to be made is about 200 - 500 lines or sth? (otherwise writing the pseudocode would be totally This post has been edited by wcypierre: Mar 17 2012, 05:34 PM |

QUOTE(kailoonthedog @ Mar 17 2012, 05:33 PM) 4.) Digital System If cannot finish the circuit how? btw, how many lines eh did u used for ur 2nd assignment(not a very good measurement for the size of the code but still, since I don't have access to the source code so I think that's my only choice - Every week lab there will be few pages of report , there's task for you to complete a circuit every week , yes physically by using wire and IC on a breadboard . You have to do the circuit part first (solve the logic , draw the logic diagram , write out the truth table) , after that do the circuit , finish and it works according to what it wants show the lecturer she say passed then will cop your report and tick ur name , after that you can leave (do finish faster early go back home sleep , that's what i do because the class at 8am for me - Midterm test , nth to say , sleep well , eat well , chase skirt (for ur info MMU gt quite many pretty girl ) , after that exam time go for it. - Lab Test will be conducted once , lecturer will announce few date (1 or 2 ) then you have to register to her about which you want , should choose and register the one you want earlier to prevent full . Lab test same as u do lab report the thing is you have to do everything at once , from report to circuit all do on the spot , then you can go back earlier ( :sleep0) - Final Exam = good luck to you. Overall Mark Distribution : Mid-Term Tests (01) = 20% Mid-Term Tests (01) = 20% Final Exam (03) = 60% Added on March 17, 2012, 5:35 pm If replacement class sometime will be put at night (for e.g programming 8pm - 10pm so sometime i go there blow aircond LOL) , for assignment to get 7-8 marks , i don't know how lecturer evaluate but just fulfill all task requirement as priority , later on do your program as best as you could to amaze the lecturer , lab question don't need error checking |

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Mar 17 2012, 11:23 PM) that explains why you have 24 credit hours, total 48 in one year. not sure, for the computer science in cyberjaya, the credit hours is less than mine. (how I wished to go for less classes per week, lol) http://fit.mmu.edu.my/undergrad/files/NEW%...eb%20Intake.xls it is 18+18+9 i believe for FIST, depending on the year. |
