The student must first pay the local fees before he proceed to the adviser for the evaluation of grades. The adviser evaluates the grades and releases the PRF (Pre-enrollment Form). Then the student can now proceed to the encoder for the encoding of subjects. The encoder issues the COR (Certificate of Registration). The student may now pay his tuition fees to the cashier. The cashier will issue the student’s receipt. The student proceeds to the registrar for the validation or requirements and for the registrar to confim the student’s enrollment.Finally, the student proceeds to the library for the validation of library card.

Among the data gathering techniques used in systems analysis are interviewing, document review, observation, and use of questionnaires. If I were to choose among them, I would be more comfortable on the document review, and observation since these techniques does not really require formal conversation and/or face to face encounter with the persons involved. I am not really that good in oral communication so it would be better if I choose these types of techniques. The use of questionnaires will also be fine with me since I already experienced this on the previous years with the other subject.

But based on my past experiences with gathering data, the techniques I chose earlier was not enough to gather data I needed for the study so, I really needed to challenge myself and have an interview. As much as I really don’t want to have an interview, since I find it the most effective way of gathering data,I was forced to do so. Basing on my personality, I would go for any technique as long as it would give me satisfaction since I am the type of person who can easily adapt to changes so it would just be fine with me to have this technique if this is badly needed. This technique will also be a great help for our project because if there will be some clarifications with our past interviews with the person involved, I can still clarify it personally. I can also impart to the interviewee my opinions on the topic we are discussing. This can also increase my involvement in the said project. I know that interviewing will be a hard task for me since I also have to consider the availability of my interviewee but this can also give me the assurance of having the data I needed. Well, I think the key to this technique is really patience.

I would also choose this technique so that I will get used to talking to other people. This will also serve as a practice or challenge for us to be more competitive in the real world.

To have a successful life, one must set his objectives. He must also have to take some steps that will help him achieve the said objectives. Just like any other student, I also have my own set of objectives in life. Most of my objectives are much more related to my family because they are the first reason why I am setting these objectives.

After discussing the topic Systems Development Life Cycle in our Systems Analysis and Design I subject, I observed that developing a system is also similar with achieving my objectives. Some of the phases gave me ideas on how I can get closer with my objectives and how I can eventually achieve them.
There are only two phases in my own version of SDLC. These are the Planning Phase and the Implementation Phase.

Planning

This phase is important since this is the starting point of everything. First thing to do is to have a list of the possible objectives. I listed everything that came into my mind. I reviewed what I listed and found out that some of them are not necessary so I just left the important ones. After having the list, I had a talk with my family. Even though not formal, I still had the chance to ask for some advice and suggestions. When I already had my final list, I put some estimated time for each of my objectives for me to have a guide. Also in this phase, I have to decide on what steps should I take and how I can achieve those things. I should weigh things carefully so I can have what I really intend to have.

Implementation

In this phase, I should start what I had planned. This time, I put my words into action. Although I know that I can commit mistakes, this won’t be a reason for me to stop trying but this should be a reason for me to keep trying.

I put my own SDLC this way because I think that the design on how I can achieve my objectives in life is already included in the planning phase. The output of the planning phase is a final list of my objectives and the steps I have to take and this will be the input for the next phase which is the Implementation. This Implementation phase starts from the day I started working with and living according to my planned objectives. This will end the time I can fulfill those things.

I think it would be better if I use the adaptive approach since I am living in a fast changing world. If I use this approach, it would be easier for me to adapt to the recent improvements in our environment thus, giving me more chances to achieve my objectives in life.
