PROBLEMS WITH STUDYING PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUE ??

I think quite many of undergradute students whose taking software engineering course would face a same problem..
The PROBLEM is.... we think we have no problem in studying PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUE subject
This subject seems easy to understand but actually it is hard to score a good result whe doing quiz or test
ARE YOU FACING THE SAME PROBLEM??!

WHY this situation happen?

1ST & the MAIN reason due to this problem,

SKIP THE LECTURE



Students think that PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUE is easily to learn
We even think that we can study by our own as the teories are ease of understanding,
so we absent to the class

THEY ARE WRONG !!!!!

PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUE subject consisted of several parts:

`theory
`problem-solving skills
`practical


We only can learn the theory part if we study by our own AS.....
Problem-solving skills are taught by lecturer in class by doing practice
These skills cannot learn from book !

RESULT...
We only score the theory part in test while the rest failed.
This is because we lack of critical thinking in problem-solving.


ANOTHER reason that also causes problem in studying PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUE,

DO NOT FOLLOW THE STEP

What meant by do not follow the step?

As a example, when writing a C++ code,
What we need to do is, follow the sequences: PSEUDO CODE --> FLOW CHART --> C++ CODE
Many of us think that doing the pseudo code and flow chart are wasting time and we mostly straight proceed to writing C++ code

WHAT happened?

THE CODE CANNOT BE COMPILE OR RUN AS DESRIED.....!



Sometime we miss up some important declaration or code causing syntax error..
Sometime we forget set the sentinel value to terminate the loop function..
Sometime we didn't put a semicolon (;)....
Sometime we get the output that we not expected...

WHY this happened?

WE DO NOT FOLLOW THE STEP !!

When doing C++ code, it's very important to have pseudo code and flow chart to refer tht sequences of writing the codes
It's hard to us to miss or mistyping the codes if we follow the pseudo code & flow chart we made

ADVICE: Please do the pseudo code and flow chart before writing C++ code even do them draftly.
It's really help a lot in save more time and reduce the error.

  1. thank you for sharing. i think your opinions are true. they think they have no problem to study programming, so they just skip the class. they also think that they can study programming by their own. actually they are wrong , the more they skip the class , the more they loss.
