Just created 3 categories for posts in this blog;
1. Programming
2. Hardwares
3. Instrumentation & Automation

Thus for next posts i’ll categorize it into these words so it’ll be easier to understand.

Sorry for the longtime idle as i have reports, homeworks, projects n other stuffs assigned by the school.
Still, please feel free to leave comments and advices!

INTRODUCING: Ritsumeikan University’s Information Science

•November 4, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Ritsumeikan University, being one of the most leading private universities in Japan, provides many bachelor degrees for you to study in. As of 1980s, Ritsumeikan University built its own Information Science department, however there was not more than 1 department back then. Presently, There are 4 departments here. Computer Science (or Information System in Japanese), Communication, Artificial Intelligence, and Media Department.

Currently, i belong to the first one, Department of Computer Science. As a 2nd year student who does not speak Japanese well enough, getting into a lost-in-translation problem is not unfamiliar here. 90% of the lectures are held in Japanese, only 10% of them are fortunately English classes. Some English classes i have taken so far are:

  • Information Science: A study of the outest surface of this field. For instance, basic computer architecture, basic data structures, fundamental algorithms, foundation of software engineering, etc.
  • Software Engineering: Software designing process, software publishing process, software’s cycle of life, those kind of things are provided here. This lecture’s professor was a very amazing person, and he’s Russian by the way. He assisted us how to yield a good software. ‘A good software does not depend on the people who made it, It is good because the making process was neat, clear, and organized. It’s as simple as that’, He said.
  • Computer Network: As obvious as it says. IPv4, IPv6, ARP, RARP, TCP/IP, UDP, OSI, etc.

And of course the rest are Japanese classes which may require your perseverance if you want to pass. Ofcourse, if you speak Japanese it will not be too rough on you.

Here are the lists of Japanese classes i have taken (or current taking) so far:

  • 確立統計 — Statistics and Probabilty
  • プログラミング言語 — Programming Language
  • 計算機科学入門 — Introduction of Computer Science
  • 計算機構成入門 — Introduction of Computer Architecture
  • 情報システム学実験 — Experiments for Computer Science
  • コンパイラ — Compiler
  • 数学4 — Mathematics: Vector’s Space
  • 論理回路 — Logic Circuit
  • データ構造とアルゴリズム — Data Structure and Algorithms
  • 情報理論 — Theoritical Studies of Information Science

Based on my personal experience and opinion, all of the Japanese classes is not too hard if you can comprehend what the teacher says. Ironically speaking, I can understand better than all of the Japanese students in the class even with this not-too-well-enough of my Japanese level. hmm, strange, right? Well, i guess ‘laziness’ is the main big problem which plays role here.

Okay, It was a brief explanation about my studies here. As of the next post, I will start to post my ideas, projects, or even reviews or facts about something related to the field. Again, I will make it as simpler as possible, and feel free to leave comments and advices!

Hi! The name’s Yuri Ardila, 100% INDONESIAN blood flowing in the vein. has been living in Japan 2.5 years more or less, for nourishing this little thing packed with neurons on top of my head with knowledge a.k.a studying–in Ritsumeikan University. haven’t heard of that before? It’s one of the private univ here in Japan, placed not far from Japan’s largest lake, Biwako.

Let’s talk a little bit ’bout my study, for it’s what im gonna write throughout this blog mainly. Im majoring in College of Information Science, Department of Computer Science.

  • What is that?
  • What am i studying there?
  • What am i gonna do after graduated from there?

Well, stay tune on yuriardila.wordpress.com :p

Oh, and 1 more thing, this is not a blog about my personal life (perhaps 1 or 2 posts, not more–maybe, or 3…4..5?? anyway, this is NOT a personal life blog) fyi. there’s a pretty much high possibility of you not comprehending the things im gonna post, but i’ll try to explain it til the very tiny bit of details you have to know. For those of you who specializing in those stuffs, comments and advices would be very amazing since i am a mere ‘noob’ in this field and need your help pretty much.

That’s all for introduction!
hoping to see your comments on the next post.
