A Glimpse of MET-RES

A few weeks back, I assisted my ID 106 Santugon friend, fellow course mate, Teejae Amorado with his MET-RES (Methods for Research - I think that's what it stands for).

Their system is somewhat of a warehousing system. He gave me the specific topics to research: Warehouse Management, Evolution of Warehousing, and the A*(A-star) Algorithm.

I was able to do the task successfully and was able to email him minutes before his deadline

I even learned from him that you can borrow thesis books of past students from the Faculty office. He told me to also look for a thesis with a system similar to theirs.

After that, I let him sign my certificate as proof of assisting him with his research. After that, he had to leave early to Muntinlupa so I gave the certificate to the prof instead.

I somehow got a small glimpse of what I will be expecting when I reach MET-RES

Recalling DASTRAP

As part of the kindness in helping out students with the same course as mine (and to gain Social Points :P), I decided to help a friend of mine last Friday, JV Garduce, who happens to be two batches higher than me.

He seems to be having a hard time in DASTRAP, this is his third take by the way. I only took DASTRAP on one round and did not have a very hard time programming in Java, since I took this language back in Highschool. I decided to re-open the tutorial Java Files about Sorting Arrays which I made for my blockmates back in Frosh year. This file contained simple codes as well comments that explain almost every detail of the codes in conceptual or layman's terms for the reader to understand more about it.

I lent it to him as well as demonstrate him examples by programming fresh codes and explaining it to him. I also let him do some coding of his own so he can learn as well. I also taught him how to program getters and setters for his MP.

I missed Java, too bad I did not take ADVANPRG this term.
