by - 4:32 PM


Seventh semester is on! This is my last semester studying in the class. The next semester I will be, hm, internship in some company and start writing my final paper. So I have to do my best from now on J One of my efforts is post my notes from campus in this blog, like what I did in the last two semesters. I hope it will help my memory and also hope you will not get confused hehehehe

Because of the semester is just started, most of lectures just explained the syllabus and didn’t go into the material yet. Here they are J

In this course, I will study about how to conduct a research, sort of :p
