Economics Exam

Friday, 17 August 2007

Last exam wohoo!

This exam was very unsure for me, I don't think I will be staying at the same university next year :( The good thing about staying at the university I am in now, is that I don't have to pay for accomodation since I am staying at home... but what if I fail this year ... D: Wah!

This exam was based on MicroEconomics and MacroEconomics, each part worth 33marks. So there were 66marks all together. The exam was all multiple choice questions.

I don't know how I feel about this exam :( All I know is that I guessed some of the questions.

After the exam of 3hours, when we were all just waiting for our exam sheets to be collected, I looked at the front person's multiple choice sheet and I could see that some of the answers are similar to mine at the beginning so perhaps I can at least get 5marks correct wohoo! Lol! I am no cheat, as the exam had finished and so I can't write on my sheet no more :P

Programming Exam

Thursday, 16 August 2007

Second exam of the three exams.

This exam was too hard and not enough time to do it all D: But I think I did much better this time, in the coding than my first attempt. However, I'm unsure about the written part of the exam, as it was too wordy and took too much time than I expected.

The exam had 2 questions: 50marks Written and 50marks Coding. The exam was 4hours (it didn't feel like 4hours, more like 1 hour); however my belly was grumbling for food in during the last hour T3T.

The written part had about 14questions, questions getting harder by each part like all exams are.

The coding part was based on Carpet sales, there was 3 files that we had to do: Carpets, Dimensions and CarpetSales. All the coding was done in Drjava.

2 down, 1 to go.

Database Exam

Wednesday, 15 August 2007

Ah, my first exam went quite crap. Didn't know aught about certain things.

These were the basic information about the database exam:
The exam was for only 2hours :( I wish it was longer.
The sql was based on Ordering Pet Products.

There were 6 tables as I remember:

  • Customers
  • Orders
  • Products
  • Invoice_totals
  • Supplied_by
  • Suppliers
Q1. Drawing a ER-Diagram of the Pet Database, saying what type of relationship are each of them.

Q2. What does the 5 different types of Keys mean and give an example of each using the SQL Database:
Surrogate Key
Primary Key
Atomic Key
Composite Key
Foreign Key

Q3. About the database being consistent
Why should the database be consistent and give example why this database isn't.
What does database being correct mean and give example why this database could be not correct
How can it be consistent but not correct?

Q4. 5/6 Questions about why certain queries should not work (2 marks each)

Q5. Creating certain queries of certain condition asked

Q6. Create a certain table of certain criteria(2 marks), why might this break integrity(3 marks), and how could you use a sql of this and why is this better than creating a table.



For Q2 about the different keys, can someone tell me what is an ATOMIC KEY? As I don't even know what that is, and tried searching through a search engine but nothing. The closest thing I saw was Atomic Value, but the exam paper said Atomic KEY?!? grr

1 down, 2 to go.

Ah, what should I do about database!!!

I know abit more about integrity, man so hard to explain if there is an integrity broken in a SQL Database. Anyone got any examples, of how a certain integrity is broken in a SQL Database? I searched all over the internet, and nothing about it, except on wikipedia (woot woot! Go wiki!).

ER-Diagrams - anyone got an example of an ER-digram which is drawn from a case study? I tried doing it, but failed badly D: Anyone got any tips on how to draw it D: Tell me!!!

Total failure, help!

Missing you loads!!!!

Man, all I got another 13days before they come back. I am so missing them, my mum made me some of my favourite bun, "Mantou Bao" before she went on her holiday. I almost finished it too D: just got one left of my favourite buns...

Tomorrow I got my first exam of the three, help!!! I am doing my revision now but don't think it would be enough D: The worst thing is that "I can't be arsed to do any revision!!! ARGH!!!".

1 day before my exams start, eep!

Missing you loads!!!

Man, I'm missing my parents already :'( They just left England now on the plane to China for 2weeks, I wonder how I am going to survive for the next 2weeks without them :(

But it's a good experience that they have gone on holiday since this would help me know how much I do actually do care about them. Right now... missing them to bits :'(
So feel like crying, but at least they are coming back soon ;)

Missing you guys loads!!!

It's Gone Bad Already

Oh, you flipping won't believe it! But I had like the worst day even though my parents just left the county we are living in, a couple of hours ago.Like I had to go to my parents shop to check something, so I went with that aunt/uncle(who's going to make us food on friday).

When we arrived there, oh ****ing 'ell! What the **** did the evil boys do! They split all the dirty oil in the tub onto the floor! Since my parents own a takeaway, there are usually dirty oil after the day; which is always taken away certain day by the collector of oil company. But this smelt like vomit, so sour smell to it and me, aunt&uncle had to clear away the smell by using a 'ell of alot of hot water, with bleach, soda crystals and washing-up liquid. I hardly did anything, but just carried water to them after filling up the bucket, whilst they did the hard part of cleaning it up.

Why are the evil kids always doing this, they have nothing better to do but stir up trouble! I hope the kids have the same problems and worst when they grow up! They look like my age too! 20 and still doing this, GROW UP!!!

(I wouldn't usually use the word "evil" but I would always use it in cantonese "suei"). So flipping annoying me to 'ell! My parents hasn't even left this country yet and trouble already starting at my parents shop! Hope they die in pain!!! (Not literally... but hope they suffer in living their lives, the whole bunch of them who push the dirty oil down!

I wish I could just stick their heads into that tub of dirty oil and so they can smell and taste that crap! That way they would learn their lesson! Too bad, I didn't see who did it, otherwise I would have called the police and thrown the gunk onto them before the police come... (As self defence, the lazy s***s).

Why don't the evil kids get a job!?? If they are that bored, or go to your community center and play on the pool table or something (I know there is a community center, I've seen it).

Oh, I wish my parents were back already and sort out the idiot s***bags!

2nd Honeymoon

Wah, my parents had gone to China for 2weeks starting from today. Therefore that leaves us kids at home alone (not really kids as I am almost 20 and my sister is almost 21 ^_^). I thought this 2weeks would be a chance to grow up and try making our own food. However, my bubble has been popped; as my aunt and aunt&uncle is going to be making us food D: Damn it people, I know my parents has gone to China for a holiday by themselves since non of the other family members are able or not wanting to go, but we have literally been living on our own for over 10years now! (in a way). Why won't they let us try on our own?

2 days left before exam.

Zippo Tricks

Okay, this is not recommended for kids to try at home, as it can turn into a tragic event instead.

I found this video in the early days where I visited college humor as my daily visit. But hardly go on, as I think some of the sites I went on there gave my computer a virus ... so I am just tad unsure about those sites they recommend to go on for fun. But it's funny, funny sites. But I do sometimes still go on there. Anyway, I found this video and boi, everytime I watch this, it makes me laugh my head off espeically when he does slow motion: "It burnnnnnsssssss!!!!!!!!" HAHAHA!!!
