wtf lol i didnt finish i spent too much time writing heaps for the 2 and 3 mark qu'sStarcraftmazter said:Dudes....
This was the FIRST time I ever finished the sdd paper before 3h were up, so...yeh EASY.
petro, agree 100% on the gate question. I was like, wtf for 10 mins trying to figure out WTF.
So did I. You need to write faster, and spend less time thinking and more time writingFromDeeEast said:wtf lol i didnt finish i spent too much time writing heaps for the 2 and 3 mark qu's
Agreed, I didn't like the last question on SDVH. I was also upset there was no 2c subtraction or division.FromDeeEast said:i found my elective was decentish expect for last qu
I thought evolution of programming languages was really really easy: they let you choose which historical reason for developing functional, and one of those historical reasons is like a massive dot point! --> progrtammer productivity so you could speak so much about that and then you had 2 questions on object oriented ---> MAN that was straightforward too yeah? + that stuff on show working and creating rules and facts was pretty easy tooToMmmm said:P.S I did Evolution of Programming Languages . It was good, quite alot of BS questions, and the code questions were actually fairly straight forward.
The question states "Modify the following circuit diagram by adding another logic gate so that the output at X is 1 if all inputs are 0". It refers to just one particular case. If infact we were supposed to modify the circuit so that ONLY A,B,C = 0 make X = 0, then it's unfair that wasn't stated so. It shouldn't be so ambiguous as to what the question is asking.Martyno1 said:First point yes. You can't just put a not gate at the end because that would change everything else...
I also would have liked harder algorithms and stuff. Algorithms are do-able, easier to get marks in and it's okay if you fuck up because almost everyone else in the state would fuck up too. Damn BOS not giving us enogh algorithms.
1. That's your opinion, I think SDD is a wonderful course.stewmazza said:You guys are absolute spastics. not only is software design and development quite possibly the worst subject the hsc has to offer, it also scales terribly poorly and to get a band six in it you will need to get a raw mark of well above 95%. Why the hell would you bother doing it? if you found it hard, congratulations, your mark will scale down into the negatives and your uai will be worse than an asterix. how good is that! at least you have free beers at each pub you go to that night, then you can commit suicide striaght after
Yeh, it took me like 10 mins to decide how to best do it lol.live.fast said:but yea... WTF was with that DFD!!
i mean
WTF!!!
I agree. I wrote something to the effect of:cooldods said:I dont know, but i think for that hardware question, you're meant to add a logic gate that doesnt change any of the results EXCEPT when A B C are all 0. By putting a not gate at the very end, you change every single answer.
I believe you could've done it with a nor gate, I hooked the and gate and the xor gate to a nand gate, and then used the and gate and the nand gate for my inputs into the or gate, if you get what Im saying....
I didnt find it hard, but to tell the truth I would've rathered harder algorithms instead of just all theory
We had loads of time to do that exam. While I hate ambiguous questions, it would be a lie to say we didn't have the time to do them twice.The question states "Modify the following circuit diagram by adding another logic gate so that the output at X is 1 if all inputs are 0".

I struggled to finish the exam, so no, we didn't have loads of time to do the exam.shredinator said:I agree. I wrote something to the effect of:
If you don't care about the other truth table combinations then its simple:
<puts not gate just before X>
If you do care, then I couldn't just do it with one extra logic gate:
<Does boolean algebra and pumps out wierd (but functioning) circuit>

lol you DUMB shit. unless you're being sarcastic (which i did not recognise) sofwtare design and development may not scale so highly in regards to the UAI but scaling has NOTHING to do with what mark you need to get a band 6. for subjects like SDD it's about 85% raw for a band 6. get a clue. and just because some of us may not get band 6s in the damn subject it doesn't mean we're going to get a UAI of below 30, some people do more than 10 units, lo and behold.stewmazza said:You guys are absolute spastics. not only is software design and development quite possibly the worst subject the hsc has to offer, it also scales terribly poorly and to get a band six in it you will need to get a raw mark of well above 95%.

Hahaha, second time I've seen you post something retarded about the scaling system. I'm glad you took notice of the three or four people telling you you were wrong in the other thread.stewmazza said:You guys are absolute spastics. not only is software design and development quite possibly the worst subject the hsc has to offer, it also scales terribly poorly and to get a band six in it you will need to get a raw mark of well above 95%.
