As per of this post made, the Academic Orientation is still ongoing. So I’ll just say about it so far.

So… Let us begin.

The Academic Orientation, or AO for short, is the second part of the Orientation at BINUS University. The first part being the General Orientation (GO for short), which I’ve posted earlier, and the third part being the Campus Life Orientation (CLO). The purpose of AO is to introduce freshmans, such as myself, to the curriculum used in BINUS University. Since my major was in Game Application & Technology (GAT), which is a part of the School of Computer Science (SoCS), I got the basics of coding (Algorithm) & such. The GAT students were divided into two classes, LA & LB. We get to use 3 labs, 2 for LA & 1 for LB. But because of the screwed up schedule in Binusmaya (the online platform for BINUS students & teachers), we ran into problems. A lot of students missed the first day, and it made a lot of them missed the introduction to Algorithm. At least they managed to fix the schedule for the next week (though it’s quite a pain for us, students, since we got screwed for the rest of the week).

Based from what I was told about the AO, it supposedly spans for the 1st semester (maybe the 2nd too? I don’t know). But the actual AO that tells us the basics of GAT are only 2 weeks long, even that there are off days. The real schedule, by that I mean when we students begin to learn about GAT (not the basics), starts at September 22nd, 2015, one week after the basic AO ended. So, yeah… This is what I got about AO.
