Consultation and Revision Week

Last Monday morning, we had our consultation with Mr. Gamboa for our major paper. He said that the user interface are good but he wants to see also the ERD. So by Tuesday, we revised our paper with the help of Anthony Rigor to help us in the user interface.

Wednesday was our next consultation day for our major paper. Mr. Gamboa would only entertain consultation if the group members are present in his eyes when they consult their papers. So we make sure that all members of our group will see Mr. Gamboa so that he will entertain us. He said that our user interface was nice but our ERD is incomplete. He also commented on the fields of our user interface if all the informations in our UI are the informations needed by the company. We were not sure if those are the informations needed. That's why he said to us that our papers must be countersigned first by the company before returning to him. He also wants to see the complete ERD and the Database for our major paper. He also said that our major paper is 75% finished.

Our next move is to consult our papers to our adopted company and have it countersigned. Hope we can do that by Monday.

Human Resource Management

Our assignment is to interview a personnel/ human resource manager on his/her concept on the nature, scope and role of human resource management, explain if we agree or disagree to him/her and is his/her concept similar to that of the management of his/ organization and if not, ask him/her how the differences are settled.

For this assignment, we asked Mam Gerlie P. Sayon of DcTech about it. She said that the Human Resource functions includes a variety of activities, and the key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing with performance issues, and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform to various regulations. Activities also include managing your approach to employee benefits and compensation, employee records and personnel policies. However, they should always ensure that employees have, and are aware of, personnel policies which conform to current regulations. These policies are often in the form of employee manuals, which all employees have.

I agree with what she said about human resource management because that is HRM almost about. HRM is about employees in an organization being hired and trained to become a better employee for their company. It is also about dealing the employees' performance issues, managing their compensation and benefits, and making sure that the employee is having a good relationship with other employees.

Her concept about HR function are similar with what is in the organization right now. She as an HR personnel must perform all the function that is expected to her.

Making the Major Paper

Yesterday morning, me and my groupmates started making the model database and the technical paper of our HRIS Proposal for our adopted company. We were in school yesterday morning then we went to our house at 3'o clock in the afternoon.

It was really very hard for us to make the model database but we tried our best to make and finish it so that we can have our consultation on Monday. We made the database overnight then we finished it earlier this morning. Wow! It really took us that long. Even though we had not really finished the major paper because it still lacks some information, we have something to consult with to Sir Gamboa.

I hope that Sir Gamboa is in school tomorrow so that we can consult to him what we have done so far in our HRIS Proposal.

Making the Database

Earlier this afternoon, me and my groupmates made the database for our HRIS Proposal for our adopted company. We made the database in school because one of my groupmates brought a laptop. We went inside a classroom and started making it.

It was really hard making the database. Even though we don't have to make the actual database or the software itself, it was really hard for us to start because we only have a little knowledge in creating a database in a software. It's because we are still in DBAD I(Database Analysis and Design I) and we have not yet tackled how to create a software. We really had a hard time.

Fortunately, one of our friends who had finished DBAD II, found us in a classroom and helped us in creating the database for our adopted company. Thanks to him.

We are not finished yet in our database. We will still continue it tomorrow. Hope that we can finish it so that we can have our consultation with Mr. Gamboa .

Making Our Introduction

Last Monday, me and my groupmates started making the introduction for our proposal. We also made the background of the study, objectives of the proposal and the scope and limitations.

We first made the drafts at the library. We borrowed some thesis there to see the patterns on making the drafts. Then after that, we went to a study area in the College of Technology to finalize the draft and to decide who will type it.

After the introduction, our next move will be creating the model database.

Hope we can finish the papers by this week so that we can have our consultation by next week.

Our Interview To Our Adopted Company

Earlier, we went to Concentrix to interview Mr. Mahedy Brizuela, one of the people from their HR Department. We ask him about their structure in HR Department. We also asked him about their system in HR Dept., on how the system flows, etc. The interview was good and sir Mahedy was an approachable person. We almost got what we need from the interview.

Now, that we have the system, maybe by next day, we can start making the database.

Questions For Our Inteview

Earlier at the house of one of my groupmates, we made our questions for our interview tomorrow for the HR management of our adopted company. It was very hard to decide where to start the interview and what questions are to be asked.

Hopefully we can start interviewing them tomorrow.

IC Festival 2008

The Institute of Computing had their festival yesterday and earlier this day. The title of the said event is ICEAN Games 2008. The IC students also participated. There are three teams. The Blue Oracle which comprises 2nd-4th year CS students, the Black Firebird which comprises 2nd-4th year IT students, and the Green Postgre, which comprises of 1st year CS and IT students.There were many games like basketball, volleyball, badminton and many more.

The Song Competition was held yesterday at the Social Hall. The program was entertaining. The Literary and Dance Competition was held earlier at the center stage. It was also fun. The Awarding Ceremony was also held earlier this evening at the center stage and the Black Firebird was announced as the over-all champion.

I had fun with the festival. It was good. Hope that the festival next year would be more fun.

Our Gantt Chart

Yesterday, we have passed our gantt chart to Mr. Gamboa and posted it outside his office. We were happy about the outcome. Our next target is to pass our major paper to him. Hope that we can start our major paper so that we can pass it to him.

No Class Today

We have no class for today. Sir Cagape met us in the morning and said to us that he will not meet us today but we will have our exam on Monday. Sir Reyes already announced that we will have no class for this week.

So, because we have time, we decided to make a gannt chart. We made it in the house of one of my groupmates.

Hope that we can pass our gannt chart this week. I hope also that we will pass our midterm exams next week.

A Visit To Our Adapted Company:Giving A Letter For The Proposal

Earlier, we went to our adapted company, Concentrix(Formerly Link2Support) to give them a letter stating that we want to make a HRIS Proposal for their company. We will wait for their reply for the interview but earlier, sir Mahedy had explained to us how their system works. It was a help for us on where and how will we start the interview.

Hope that we can interview them as soon as possible so that we can start the paperworks in our major paper.
