Student Life - A Terrifying Exam
This past Wednesday turned out to be extremely interesting. We took a simply monstrous exam, compared to which all our previous torments pale. In my memory, there have been only two truly terrifying subjects like this one: artificial intelligence(2 exams) and databases(2 or 3 exams). In databases, I managed to get an automatic pass in all cases with great strain, and with artificial intelligence I managed to cope, but at a minimal level. I passed the last exam in AI in my master's degree with a record low mark for myself - a 41 .
But I am not ashamed of this, because even so, barely scraping by, I made it into the top 1/7 of students and received a scholarship.
The subject I'm talking about now is called Prasību inženierija, that is, Requirements Engineering. It's about collecting and analyzing information from the customer of a software project in order to develop fairly strict criteria for each element of the final product, known as software requirements.
Dug up something interesting on Wikipedia
Got an exam on the 5th on the method of mathematical construction of database structures, and here I am sitting at two in the morning reading random crap.
"Slovio iz a noo internashunal langwij wich fore hundrid millyun peepul on da hole erth unnerstan. Lurn Slovio nau!"
Sounds like a padonkaff phrase. But in reality it's one of the many artificially created languages - called Slovio.
