I finished the first of the sequence diagrams for the first use case
in the OO analysis question on the City of Plaistow. It was pretty
straight forward I ended up adjusting my class diagram and my domain
diagram a bit. I had made a mistake in the domain model. The
mistake was in the ambulance class where I added some methods that
really should have been in the hospital class. I also made changes to
the class diagram to flesh out the victim. I added getters and
setters for all of the vital information needed about the victim and
fixed some consistency problems with the incident class that was to be
a part of the victim. It took me the entire morning to get the
sequence diagram done. These diagrams are essential in showing
interaction diagrams in OO analysis. Pretty big question if you ask
me. I have to figure out how to make this work on the exam in the
time I have alloted. Well anyway, I intend to finish them because it
is good practice in UML. I looked at what the other guys in the study
group have done and they have drawn diagrams that are simpler like my
answers on previous tests. I have thought about how I can approach
the idea of telling them that what they have is not enough on the test
but have failed in a strategy. It seems that this is a hard one to
learn. I am not even sure that I know the answer to it. Will wait to
see what they say today. Maybe I can get a better strategy after
talking with them this morning.
In a few days it will be March. I will have to get my application in
for the test. I have yet to cover all the topics. This is a bit
scary for me. I have covered in depth but will have to go back for a
refresher on most of them. I love the PhD and the Test.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth
and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of
everyday`s Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee
freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from
Praise. I love thee with a passion put to use In my old griefs, and
with my childhood`s faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears,
of all my life! --- and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better
after death. -- Elisabeth Barrett Browning
