I personally ain't studying the online Q's, as you said, they haven't helped thus far.

I'm betting the same as you: that we'll see LOTS of questions from tests 1-3 word-for-word on the final. Considering we dno't have those, that'll be tough to study for. I didn't attend any classes but one after the last test, so I'm just studying the slides as best I can

12/6/2005 9:39:41 PM

seriously

don't sweat this fucking test

12/7/2005 2:13:38 AM

^why do you say that?

12/7/2005 3:33:26 PM

yeah for real, I'm sweatin' it

you never know what ole' man will pull out and ask

12/7/2005 3:53:31 PM

it seems kinda gay that he would give us a cumulitive exam from the whole semester but not let us keep our old tests

12/7/2005 3:53:48 PM

^ it is gay, but it's because he's gonna paste q's word-for-word from the prior tests on the final I bet

12/7/2005 3:54:36 PM

what are the chapters that were covered after test 3? was it 11,12,15?

-im dreading this more than my Acc310 final

12/7/2005 4:08:17 PM

What's Masemore's website?

12/7/2005 4:34:27 PM

^ He doesn't have one.

A motherfxcking information technology teacher doesn't have a website. Nor will he post his gay lecture slides on Vista like a normal person would. Noooooooooo, he hasta post them on some gay ass "I-DRIVE" that's only accessible in the Nelson computer labs and cannot be accessed from home or anywhere else. Yeah, that's pretty tech-savvy of you Masemore

12/7/2005 5:45:44 PM

what are the chapters that were covered after test 3? was it 11,12,15?

12/7/2005 5:52:09 PM

yeah I believe so

and those "Project Management" slides that are only...surprise, surprise, on the I_DRIVE

12/7/2005 5:54:46 PM

Well, that sucks. I didn't realize those slides were only on the "i drive". Guess there will be some questions I'm guaranteed to miss.

12/7/2005 7:15:25 PM

Thank you!

12/7/2005 8:19:59 PM

^^holy shit. you are the man JCash!!!

12/7/2005 8:36:45 PM

on the study guide, what is he talking about when he says "heavy emphasis on how to successfully implement info-systems"? is that Ch13? what are some terms i should look for??

12/7/2005 10:25:24 PM

So does anyone know anything about the case studies?

UPS
Subaru
Wells Fargo

12/7/2005 11:17:39 PM

test was so-so

It wasn't insanely difficult, but some of the questions had the usual "wtf mate?" flare to them that Masemore adds.

I lol'd at this Q:

"Internet applications use encryption on:..."
2 of the answer choices were "processing" and "communications"

I'm no CSC major but I can bet data can be encrytped in both of those scenarios...let's just hope he meant processing 'cause that is what I picked.

12/8/2005 9:23:43 AM

i thought it was easy

done in 45 min -- studied less than an hour

12/8/2005 10:14:29 AM

Were any of the case studies on there?

12/8/2005 10:25:03 AM

he mentioned Cigna (had no idea) and Wells Fargo (easy, it was "E" all of the above)

12/8/2005 10:29:30 AM

not really, and deff not enough to have read all that crap for them

12/8/2005 10:29:34 AM

on the true false i had a string of 2-4 trues in every row


usually when all the the above was a choice, it was right (i think)

i'm not saying i made an A, i'm saying i passed

my goal was the pass the class, not make a stellar grade

12/8/2005 11:42:05 AM

cigna q was false

12/8/2005 1:56:48 PM

i think thats what i put

good

12/8/2005 2:29:11 PM

yeah i think i put false too

12/8/2005 4:32:42 PM

did you guys like his bitchy little comment about not emailing him because he wouldnt give grades like that, so DONT EVEN TRY IT

and if HE fucks up your grade, you can't discuss it with him until office hours next semester

12/9/2005 1:17:04 AM

yeah dude what in the world was that all about? When he said that I overheard someone near me say like "wow, he's in a bad mood today..."

I can bet you one thing, if he screws a kid's grade up, he better make himself available to fix it before next semester. Old fart. That dumb nigga still thinks GPS on the Wolfline is a "great idea that should be implemented".

12/9/2005 8:12:46 AM

FINAL EXAM GRADES ARE UP

They're posted in Vista, however there's like a glitch and that other "Final" is still in there and mine says a 57, lol

But under your 3 tests there's one that says "Final Exam" w/ the correct score. I got an 85 on the final, total average was exactly a 90.

an A- will do

12/9/2005 1:29:26 PM

83 final
86 overall


-what is a B+? is it 87 or 88?

12/9/2005 4:07:09 PM

87 per his syllabus

[Edited on December 9, 2005 at 4:15 PM. Reason : .]

12/9/2005 4:14:12 PM

84 on the final


too lazy to figure out my overall

12/9/2005 6:31:05 PM

80 on the final...ouch

12/9/2005 7:53:44 PM

81 on the final
86 for the course

12/9/2005 8:26:35 PM

2/27/2006 12:56:00 PM

2/27/2006 5:25:21 PM

2/27/2006 7:00:58 PM

anybody know what client/server architecture is? cus i have no clue

2/27/2006 9:10:44 PM

^alright kid, just a quick look in the book.... see page 201, chapter 6... also known as "computer networks and client/server computing.
and you'll stay golden if you just follow the review sheet, as the terms mainly follow the layout of the book... with a few exceptions here and there... which most likely came about during his rambling...

2/27/2006 9:16:09 PM

thanks appreciate it, must have passed over it.

2/27/2006 9:19:29 PM

^no problem... i was actually just looking over that... and for the software v. hardware differences... software would be operating systems/programs/etc. where hardware is CD-ROM, CD-RW, hard drive... etc...

2/27/2006 9:23:16 PM

what is meant by "proprietary" operating system?

2/27/2006 11:16:10 PM

^pg 1 or 2

2/27/2006 11:33:32 PM

^don't have a book

2/27/2006 11:44:45 PM

its in this thread he means. pages one or two of this thread

2/27/2006 11:45:21 PM

good luck, kids. good luck.

2/28/2006 10:13:07 AM

i retract my previous statement...the T/F was hard...i don't think i did as well as the first test

2/28/2006 2:08:07 PM

i thought that was hard also. seemed like alot of things were on test that were not on reveiw sheet or at least the way i studied it.
