SCL Questions

Question 1

Target group: Students.

We choose a Laptop

Intel Pentium (Dual-Core) processor (1.86 GHz)
2 MB L2 Cache
4GB DDR3 , SDRAM
2.5" SATA
Super Multi DVD +/-R/RW
Integrated Intel HD-Graphics 3000

We choose laptop because it is easier to carry around unlike desktop. Besides, students nowadays only use laptops for their studies for example in doing assignments, obtaining information via Internet and connecting with lecturers online, so, this type is better and user-friendly. Though it was difficult to be upgraded, for example to upgrade its RAM, we might consider to use a portable external hard-disk instead.
For student , we also preferred to use Intel Pentium with Dual-Core Processors as it less expensive compare to i7/i5/i3. With Dual-Core means it got two processing units to decrease heat in cpu by increasing more its efficiency during working. The different between i7 core and pentium is only based on speed and cache (5%). Our thoughts , students did not work on video encoding , unless watching youtube. So to do a research and assignments , it is preferably to choose Intel Pentium with Dual Core.
Many operating systems can be used on Intel Pentium. So , we choose to use Windows 7 as Windows 8 just new in operating system.

about 2.5" SATA hard disk

Question 2

h3group4.blogspot.com

We've decided to compare our choice with Group 4 from Hayat 3.
They choose a laptop with Intel Core I7.

As we all know it, a laptop with a processor of Intel Core I7 costs much more than a laptop with a processor of Intel Pentium. Since our target group are students, a cheap laptop will do. Most of time, students will use their laptop to do assignments and researchers. Intel Pentium can do those little stuffs as well. It maximize the usage of the processors. On the other hand, if a student only uses a laptop for assignments and researches with the processor of Intel I7, then the usage of the processor will be a waste since it is not being use thoroughly.

Question 3

Raspberry Pi is a new hardware of this modern technology era.
We kind of intrested into this Raspberry Pi because it might be carried anywhere in pockets and also can connect to the internet connection as this things was plugged in (on). Raspberry Pi is built for learning programming.

THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN RASPBERRY PI AND COMPUTER

COME COMPATIBLE WITH WEB-CAM
CAN CONNECT TO THE INTERNET CONNECTION
ALSO NEED RAM FOR STORAGE MEMORY
CAN PLAY DVD+/-R/RW
USB PORT

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RASPBERRY PI AND COMPUTER
RASPBERRY PI

LOW COST
SMALL SIZE AND CAN BE CARRIED ANYWHERE
DOESN'T USE BATTERY SOURCES
NEED SCREEN TO PLUGGED IN ( e.g. TV)
OPERATING SYSTEM - ARM V6 ONLY

COMPUTER

HIGH COST
BIGGER IN SIZE ( BUT NOTEBOOKS CAN BE CARRIED ANYWHERE)
CAN USE BATTERY AS A SECOND SOURCE TO SWITCH ON
COMPACT WITH SCREEN ALREADY
CAN USE ANY OS(OPERATING SYSTEM) AND PROCESSORS

ASUS X44H - OUR CHOSEN LAPTOP ;)

Hey Hi Hello!

Bryan is in the house uolsss!

So, everyone, how has UNIMAS been treating you guys so far? I bet a lot of us have our own perception and memories in UNIMAS. Its been a month already and I am sure you guys had known this place better than last month. However, our mid semester is going to start in 3 weeks time, and remember that this test does count in our assessment also known as final pointer.

Anyway, I have a lot of stories to tell, yet so lazy to type them down. I'm a bad storyteller but an expert in procrastinating. So Ive been blogging since 2008 and I find blogging is interesting and still does, its just that I dont have time to update everytime.

Listen listen listen~ :3

Wednesday, 26 June 2013

So yeah.. As you've read by the title, I'm sure you'll know what I mean. Of course it's about listen. Well; ,it's not about that 'listen listen listen' cases.. But something we all should know about.. The importance of listening. As we came into this world, the first thing that we actually is neither walking nor talking. But actually, the first thing we learnt was listening. Am i right??? Well, yeahhh... listening skill is very crucial and important in our daily life actually.. Where it involves you and the other party. It may sounds easy to you, BUT... if you didn't practice it, you may fail in another thing also...

Here's a bit of the importance of listening that i've read somewhere else through website. Enjoy reading it! :)

KEY POINTS

The listening process involves five stages: receiving, understanding, evaluating, remembering, and responding.
Active listening is a particular communication technique that requires the listener to provide feedback on what he or she hears to the speaker.
Three main degrees of active listening are repeating, paraphrasing, and reflecting.

TERMS

Listening
The active process by which we make sense of, assess, and respond to what we hear.
Active listening
A particular communication technique that requires the listener to provide feedback on what he or she hears to the speaker.

EXAMPLES

Fully engaged listening might involve listening to a lecture, taking notes, considering what's being said, and asking questions.

Degrees of Active Listening

There are several degrees of active listening.

Listening Is More than Just Hearing

Figure 1

Listening is a skill of critical significance in all aspects of our lives--from maintaining our personal relationships, to getting our jobs done, to taking notes in class, to figuring out which bus to take to the airport. Regardless of how we're engaged with listening, it's important to understand that listening involves more than just hearing the words that are directed at us. Listening is an active process by which we make sense of, assess, and respond to what we hear.

The listening process involves five stages: receiving, understanding, evaluating, remembering, and responding. These stages will be discussed in more detail in later sections. Basically, an effective listener must hear and identify the speech sounds directed toward them, understand the message of those sounds, critically evaluate or assess that message, remember what's been said, and respond (either verbally or nonverbally) to information they've received.

Effectively engaging with all five stages of the listening process lets us best gather the information we need from the world around us.

Active Listening

Active listening is a particular communication technique that requires the listener to provide feedback on what he or she hears to the speaker, by way of restating or paraphrasing what they have heard in their own words. The goal of this repetition is to confirm what the listener has heard and to confirm the understanding of both parties. The ability to actively listen demonstrates sincerity, and that nothing is being assumed or taken for granted. Active listening is most often used to improve personal relationships, reduce misunderstanding and conflicts, strengthen cooperation, and foster understanding.

When engaging with a particular speaker, a listener can use several degrees of active listening, each resulting in a different quality of communication with the speaker. This active listening chart (Figure 2) shows three main degrees of listening: repeating, paraphrasing, and reflecting.

Active listening can also involve paying attention to the speaker's behavior andbody language. Having the ability to interpret a person's body language lets the listener develop a more accurate understanding of the speaker's message.

Asasi Fizikal 3 -

Latest English lecture , my friend and I had been taught something special about L.O.V.E

lets begin with letter
L - listening .. dalam dunia percintaan , sayang , and else..listening not hear ! LISTENING is more to paying attention..kita kena beri perhatian dan dengar apa yang he/she nak katakan..mungkin apa yang dia cakap tu more to luahan or maybe , kita boleh dengar apa yang dia suka and dislike! haha..

O - observe ..kita kena observe , perhatikan diri he/she..bak kata orang la kan , TAK KENAL MAKA TAK CINTA .haha..siasat la latar belakang dia..mungkin ada apa yang dia apa-apa yang dia sembunyikan dari semua orang selama ini..like her background..her sick

V - verified ..ini mungkin bagi aku..kena pastikan siapa sebenar nya dia..manalah tahu kan kalau kalau ada yang jenis playboy mahupun playgirl..

E - empathy you may

If you failed for the Task "L" , until the end of solution you never got the answer and no Love neither empathy !

*by maths maybe , kalau korang x beri perhatian or listen..not HEARING , xkan dapat punya selesaikan letter O , V, E ..no empathy in the end of maths haha !
