Now I can start the year without wisdom teeth 😁.

Alhumdulillah for my wellness, I have no appointments related to wisdom teeth after now 🥳.

#Daily

Hello everyone 👋 I officially finished the fifth semester (according to the plan). The semester was so long, and I kind of can't believe that we finished it. However, I enrolled in 6 courses (that's so many I guess, but I felt okay after the two-semester decision) [16 hours total]:

CPIT210 • Computer Organization & Architecture
■ What did I learn?
》Let's divide the course content into 2 parts.
● Part1: Digital logic
• Numbering system & some operations.
• The representations and designs of the digital logics (Digital circuits, truth tables, Boolean Algebra, K-Maps).
• Half adders and full adders and their concepts.
• Encoder and Decoder, and how to use them in many ways.
• Multiplexer and Demultiplexer.
• Types of flip-flops and their implementations.
• The counter.
● Part 2: Architecture
• Computer organization.
• Bus architecture, how the computer components works.
• The function of the cache memory, and types of mapping (Direct, Associative, and Set associative).
• Instruction cycle and sets, including interrupts.
• Instruction types and processes according to the number of addresses.
• Addressing modes and formats.
■ What did I take in the lab?
• Using circuit simulator and implementing operations.
• Using assembly language to do functions.

CPIT250 • System Analysis & Design
■ What did I learn?
• The context of system development in an organisation.
• System analysis concepts and the system analyst role, and what he should do.
• System development life cycle in details and methodologies.
• Determining system requirements according to the client, or whoever owns the system.
• Analysing system process requirements & drawing diagrams.
• Data flow diagram and its levels.
• Use case diagram, components, levels, and drawing according to scenarios.
• Activity diagram with its components.
• Class diagram for the implementation by coding, including relationships.
• Sequence diagram, each sequence represents a scenario.
• State diagram to study states and events that could be happen to the system.
• User interface, forms, and reports to extract information and results from the system.
• System modelling and the purpose of using a specific diagram.
■ What did I take in the lab?
• My group and I did the same with the CPIT250 Project, but in the lab, the problems were already identified. We use an app to make diagrams and UI.
Here are my suggestions for applications:
For diagrams: Lucidchart
For diagrams (for the lab because it is free): draw.io (online)
For user interface: Figma

CPIT370 • Computer Networks
■ What did I learn?
• The physical structures, types, and topologies of networks.
• Network standards and the Internet.
• The 7 layers according to the OSI model, with details of the functions of each layer.
• Network protocols and their functions.
• Application layer with its services, which include Web, HTTP, FTP, Electronic mail, and DNS.
• Transport layer with its services, which include UDP, TCP, reliable data transfer, multiplexing and demultiplexing, and congestion control.
• Network layer in detail and comparing its services to transport layer.
• Virtual circuit and datagram networks.
• IPv4 and IPv6 datagram formats and their addressings.
• Other protocols in the network layer, such as NAT, DHCP, and ICMP.
• Data link layer, error detection, and correction.
• More details about LAN, Ethernet.
• Architecture of wireless networks.
• Physical layer.
■ What did I take in the lab?
• All lab exercises require us to use "Packet Tracer", this software is used to implement and configure network infrastructure and determine how packets are sent and received.

CPIS334 • Software Project Management
■ What did I learn?
• Principles of project management and how to deal with technical projects.
• Project constraints that we should consider.
• Project successes and failures.
• Who and how to identify stakeholders.
• Managing project scope, cost, time, quality, risk, and HR (constraints) with their processes.
• Management of communication, procurement, and integration, with their processes.
■ What did I take in the lab?
• The software that should be used in this course is "MS Project", this can be used to manage the time, scope, resources, and cost of the project, identify critical path, and manage the project according to the web breakdown structure (WBS).

AVP113 • Speaking & Presenting Skills [College Free]
■ FAQ about this course
• What is the course about?
》The course content provides a more detailed explanation of what happens when speaking in front of an audience, cases that you should do or avoid for a successful presentation, and how to make the audience excited.
• Is it theoretical or applied?
》Theoretical, and it has a book.
• Does it have testbanks?
》 Yes, it has many. You can ask @KHiA6 for them.
• What is the marking policy?
》It depends on the instructor, the marks go for two assignments and one exam (it is a special case for this semester).
• What type of exam is it?
》Multiple choice questions.
• Do you advise enrolment in this course?
》It depends on the instructors, if you don't know about them, you can find another course.

ISLS201 • Islamic Culture 2
■ What did I learn?
• تفاصيل أكثر عن الكتاب والسنة النبوية
• إعجاز القرآن الكريم
• تدبر القرآن الكريم وواجبنا نحوه.
• حفظ السنة النبوية وتدوينها
• نماذج عن السنة النبوية وواجبنا نحوه.

#Courses

This is my schedule, I hope this semester will be great.

And I need mental health care for Wednesday 🥴.

Last night, I got a chance to "travel" to Little Asia. The place brings together all East Asian countries such as China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. There is an open area in the middle, and every country has a different experience, events, shops, and restaurants. For me, I advice all of you to visit, especially if you want to pay for extra events, or you would like to buy or try Asian stuff. Overall rating is 8/10 👍.
