Week 18

This week we had our final examination for the Software Design and Engineering course. The moment is so fulfilling as a computer engineering student because at last, this is the final exam from a long journey.

Before that day, Sir Carl told us to wear any headband with a different design from our choice for a plus points so I came up with the design just right. It was like manifesting the good energy of having a good grade.

Week 17

This was the presentation of 70 percent of the website with the front end and back end. The thing is it did not go the way the group wanted because when we presented our output, there was an error on the backend connected to where it should be and it consumed so much time so Sir Carl told us to present the output on the other day to configure the error and make the presentation smooth. On the said day of the presentation, we went to Sir Carl on the LRC building of the university and we presented it to him and Sir Carl gave a grade.

Week 16

This week was another topic that Sir Carl discussed. It was all about Data Visualization and this topic allowed us to know how to visualize data using graphs like line graphs, bar graphs, pie graphs, and other visualization patterns. This would help us on how can we present our data on our website development the way it should be to make it more understandable for us to know what action should we take for the development of the project.

Week 15

For this week, we presented our front end to Sir Carl and at the same time a consultation for our manuscript. He gave us a hint on what we need to work on for the script and he added some advice on how can we make sure that our front end will not look funny at the same time user friendly. Such a great time and a good experience from the moment that we stepped in, it was to show our hard work on the front end and Sir Carl amazingly liked it not like the Figma UI/UX.

Week 14

This week we had our part 2 of the quiz but Sir Carl made it short since we have topics still to discuss. A lot of pressure again but at the same time filled with joy and love because there are people around sharing the same feeling and you know that you are not alone.

Week 13

For this week, Sir Carl gave us an online quiz before the holidays and we focused more on developing the front end since it is crucial for our website since this will test the customers to catch their eyes just by seeing visuals from our landing page… Aside from that, we worked also on the About page, this is where you can see the developer’s names and contacts. It was tiring but also coated with satisfying moments.

Week 12 This week, we completed the first part of our assessment by taking an online quiz consisting of 28 questions, with a time limit of 45 minutes to complete it.

Week 11

This week truly marked the start of the final phase in our SDE course. Our instructor provided us with helpful learning materials and video discussions that gave us a clear direction moving forward. We were given both individual and group assignments, with the unique requirement of submitting them in both digital and handwritten formats. I found the individual tasks quite doable, especially with the insights I gained from the provided resources. The group work also went well so our team communicated effectively and worked together, which made the experience smooth and even enjoyable.

Week 10

Hello everyone!!

Finally!! We presented our interactive Figma design, showcasing the system's flow and interface, to three panelists, including our instructor, Sir Carl. It was both nerve-wracking and exciting to finally share what we had been working on. Each panelist provided valuable feedback, suggesting improvements such as enhancing the visuals, adjusting font sizes for better readability, and choosing more complementary color combinations. We also received recommendations regarding the functionality of some buttons.

Week 9

Hello everyoneee!!

We had our midterm exam this week. I made sure to review all the modules and topics thoroughly, feeling confident and prepared. I concentrated on mastering the diagram processes and aimed to pass the exam. Although I encountered a few difficulties, I was relieved to see that most of the questions were familiar, and I believe I was able to answer the majority of them but unsure of those.

Week 8

Good day everyone!!

We attended a Figma workshop where we learned the fundamentals of UI/UX design. We were introduced to key concepts such as frames, components, and prototyping. Although I’m already somewhat familiar with Figma, I realized that I still need to deepen my understanding to make the most of its features. As part of the workshop, the instructor gave us an activity where we had to create a landing page for a system that could address a real-world problem, allowing us to put into practice everything we learned during the session. I wasn't able to stay any longer because I have class on another subject and excused myself. Still the knowledge I learned here regarding figma is crucial on our system implementation.

Week 7

Hello everyone!!

At this day, we had quiz 2 covering the topics 3 and 4. Part 1 is multiple choice like in quiz 1 and I don't know if I did even decently but part 2 was not that bad since the questions were all about the diagrams that we tackled and I provided the requirement for each of the problems with the diagram but I'm still not adept on these so I'm not particularly confident on my answers.

Week 6

Good day everyone!!

Today, we started with an icebreaker game called "Rebus Puzzle," where we had to guess the meaning of pictures, some of which included clues and underscores to help us figure them out. After the game, we discussed different types of diagrams, including Activity Diagrams, Use Case Diagrams, ERD Diagrams, Data Flow Diagrams, and more. We also did an activity that challenged our creativity by designing and fixing images to make them look as they should. This really spark up our mind on how we should portray our UI in a user friendly manner.

Week 5

During week 5, we presented our activity on Canva which was assigned to us by our instructor in our new groups. There was no significant progress on our JunkHub project, but we did have a discussion about it. On Wednesday of the same week, we conducted a reporting activity related to our previous task, where we created a Canva presentation. Our topic focused on E-learning, and we discussed its features as well as the initial design we had prepared.

Week 4

Hello everyone!!

Here once again! So we had a quiz on this day and I don't know what to feel like I had a roller coaster of emotions. We did it on ustep and there are two parts. Part 1 is composed of multiple choice while part 2 is identification. I had a hard time on both of the parts but somehow I still pulled some points and probably I did well slightly I guess? Anyways that's all on our activities this week and just continued to update our systems.

Week 3

Good dayyy everyonersss!!

We were supposed to have a class on February 5, but Sir Carl had an urgent matter to attend to, so he assigned us activities instead. These tasks were due on February 7, along with Chapter 1 of our study manuscript, which was due on February 8. One of the tasks was creating an empathy map, which required us to pair up and interview each other. For the manuscript, we had to team up with our group members again to ensure we produced quality work and completed it on time. Despite facing some challenges, especially with balancing tasks from other subjects, we still enjoyed the process and managed to submit everything by the deadline.

It was an insightful activity that offered us many viewpoints.

Week 2

Hellooooo everyone!! so here after I got moved on section 2A in SDE, I got affiliated with Joebert, Reggie, Chidrick and Jeffrey which I'm already been acquainted with. They reached out on taking me in their group and I was grateful for it but I got so~so worried because the group is already full because we were instructed to form a group of 4 at most but fortunately our dear instructor considered it because it was the majority of numbers on also other groups. That took a whole detour so anyways, we presented our system idea to our instructor, which involved conducting interviews with junk shop owners. The concept focuses on creating a platform where junk shop owners can post their products and purchase items from customers who can also list their second-hand or recyclable materials such as plastic bottles, cans, and more. This system aims to streamline and simplify transactions between owners and customers. Fortunately, our proposal was approved, along with some suggested additional features to further improve the system, and we are now fully prepared to move forward!
