Stories from the Alumni: Joan Miranda

I was asked to write about our batch in high school and talk about what made us unique, but I won’t.

To be honest, aside from our names and faces, we are just the same as you are. We are made up of different kind of students, the nerds, the athletes, the popular ones, the shy ones, and even one who seemed like God had showered him with everything.

What we went through was basically just the same things you thought you could never survive, such as exams, extra-curricular, and many more — we did and so will you.

MSC 18: Base Multiplication – Numbers Below the Base

When multiplying numbers below a power of 10, we subtract one number’s deficiency from the base from the other number and then add the product of the deficiencies.

Example 18.1: Find 98 x 97
= (100 – 2)(100 – 3)
= (100 – 2 – 3)(100) + (-2 x -3)
= (98 – 3) x 100 + 2 * 3
= 95 | 06
= 9,506

MSC 17 – Base Multiplication: Multiplying “Teen” Numbers and Others

Most of us have learned by heart the multiplication table up to 10 x 10. A simple technique will enable us to extend our multiplication power up to 20 x 20.

For example: Compute 14 x 12

Cover one of the ten’s digit and add what remains to the other number: 14 + 2 or 4 + 12 will both give 16. This will be the first or left hand part of the product.

What Our Graduates Say

MSC gives quality and affordable computer  education to its students so that they will become highly competitive in their search for jobs after graduation.

     “MSC provided me the knowledge that served as a tool to keep me moving forward in my      career. I learned  techniques on how to face  challenging situations. MSC prepared me for this. No matter how much you know today, you’ll have to know more  tomorrow.”

EDGAR CAUYAN
President
CARD MRI Information Technology Inc
(Computer Technology Course, 1994)

      “…What I learned from MSC is my shining  armor when I applied for a job in Makati. My Internet Technology course  introduced me not only to the latest technology but also to a       problem-based and team-centered study          approach. I have also experienced how to handle problems in the field of Desktop Publishing and Web Designing that gave me confidence in my current work.”

ALBERT M. BRAVO
Jr Multimedia Engineer
Rendition Digital Inc., Makati
(MSC High School 2004/ Internet Technology 2006)

“I chose MSC Computer Learning Centre for its uniquely relevant approach to business education, highly qualified faculty members, and conducive to learning classroom environment, and of course, the advanced teaching methods particularly in terms of computer learning…

     I worked with PAGCOR and EPSON Precision Philippines. Then I tried my luck abroad as hotel receptionist. Due to my   determination plus my MSC credentials, I was promoted almost every year…  Currently, I am working as Administrative Officer reporting   directly to the Chairman of the Executive Board of Abu Dhabi University, one of the most       prestigious university and education provider in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

      For those who are yet choosing which school to enroll in, I highly recommend MSC Institute of Technology Inc., your future will be definitely be  in good hands.”

MSC Origins Part VII: Ghosts at M. Paulino

Almost everyone have ghost stories to tell, especially those about old buildings and houses. There is something about old houses that makes them perfect for terrifying stories, imaginary or otherwise. Maybe it is because an old building would have been the site of many events and happenings in the past. An old building would have stood as a “silent witness” to many stories about the people who lived there or visited the place.

Bands from MSC

When MSC occupied the old Agrix Supermarket along A. Fule St. it was called the MSC Annex. The MSC Annex was not only used for classes of the 2-year course and high school students. It also housed a sound-proofed music studio, complete with instruments, amplifiers, speakers, and band accessories. Instruments of the MSC High school for its drum and lyre band were also kept in the annex.

MSC 12 – Dividing by 4 and 8

We can easily divide a number by 4 by halving the number twice and by 8, by halving thrice. We shall, however try dividing by 4 and 8 using the one line solution introduced in MSC 6 – Division by Two.

When dividing a whole number by 4, there are only 4 possible remainders: 0, which means that the number is evenly divisible by 4; and 1, 2 and 3 which are equivalent to 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 respectively. In this example, the dividend is an even number so the remainder can only be 0 or 2.
