WAIT!!! I was not absent then...
Visio, access and Project development
The subject is all about designing an Information System for an organization. As in that is what you are going to be doing the whole sem, and rightfully so because designing IT systems is no joke. There are a lot of deliverables and its hard to make them consistent with each other since we usually assign different deliverables to different members. Add to that the fact that my group was lucky enough to be assigned to the hardest topic- Licensing and Car Registration.
For the different processes, Visio was really helpful because the flowcharts are very complex. I can't imagine having to deal with that in MS Word. We use Access in creating the user interface. My professor was a bit disappointed that majority of my classmates were not familiar with these two softwares since they were supposed to be taught in 180.1. So it was kind of a good thing that I'm taking the supposed prerequisite for 186 now. Although I admit I am still not very good with either so thankfully, some of my members are pretty techie (is this the right spelling)?
