Since the beginning of my student career I am
serious on the matter of learning. So, I try to clutch this type of
opportunities which comes in front of me. Among many I have been attracted
towards the computing field now which is being an interesting part of my
learning. Since, I started studying BSc Computing course in Islington College I
have been benefited to approach my goal.
The first five
weeks has supported me to understand more about my study on the coming days. The
result of this has been started displaying from the end of fifth week. Till
this 8th week we have studied some more about our modules. In this
post, I am going to express about my academic development after week 5.
In Logic, we studied
new topics like: Set Theory, Number bases, Predicate logic, quantifiers and its
negation, relations, etc. Although I have already been introduced some of the
above topics like Set Theory and Number bases in school as well as higher
school level classes. But also some topics were new to me for whom I had to spend
more times on solving and practicing them. Overall, the topics of this week
were not so easier than that of before.
Problem Solving
for IT, we studied to write algorithms, create various charts, etc. As these
topics were totally new to men and it was being difficult to understand the
contents, so I spend more time on them. During this week we had a test of
carrying 30% of our whole module where I failed to do well and I was upset. But
there was a practical part from Excel and Access carrying all 70% of marks. So
I thought of concentrating on this practical coursework to coup up with the
better marks. Aiming to excellent on this I have already started to focus more
on this.
Introduction to Programming,
in this module we studied about modularization, abstraction, accessing private
fields, etc. These topics were bit complicated to understand. Although these
topics are very fresh for me practicing on lab and interacting with tutor has
made applicable to some extent. Moreover, we were introduced with BlueJ
demonstration. With this tool we can overcome easily from the problems seen
while writing codes and running program which seems to be so interesting.
At last Study
Skills, Personally, this module is most interesting module among all. This
module is assists to boost personal development. In this module we were taught
about Harvard Referencing, we were told to write reflective writings, Groups
were formed for the final presentation and the topics were selected. As our
presentation carries 50% marks on how we perform and create the presentation
our group along with me planned to do best so we started on this, from the
beginning of announcement. From this module, I am being familiar with the ideas
of reflective writings as well.
As the weeks
passing by the more challenging topics are being faced but anyway it’s proud to
be a student of computing. However, there is more to travel in this course,
till now I have become to write a simple program and developed some confidence
on me.
