Am I the
same person as I was a year ago? I often ask to myself and realize that time
has brought a lot of changes in my life. Believing that time has power to
change everything I rely upon it and wait until time compels me to make
something good happen. Now, as I look back to my life it reflects me the image
of a person that I have left far behind. Nevertheless, with deep thoughts I
overcame with all my mistakes in past and look forward to nourish my future
with hard study, labour and dedication in this semester.
Having a mixed feeling on first day,
I tried to act normal hiding my emotions and excitement under my face. In the
very first day of my 3rd semester, I was introduced to my core
module for this semester. Each and every module was very new to us but rather
much more inspiring. Every coursework that we were assigned changed my academic
skills from each and every aspect. From the first coursework we were very
serious in regarding our performance, so we tried very hard to give all our
effort in this coursework. However, some of the coursework assigned to us were very
difficult to work them out. Due to high difficulty level, we all students along
with our teacher too felt a little tough to understand and complete the
coursework.Nonetheless, our hard labour and dedication towards the study and a
helpful hand from our teacher, we finally were able to complete all of the
allocated coursework within deadline.
The four modules have helped to
uplift my skills from basic to intermediate level. The first module, Study
Skills for Computing, was a complete source of understanding the writing skills
and presentation skills. Also, it helped us to prepare future plan to uplift
our career in better way. It showed us the way to achieve our goal in our life
by helping us in preparing action plans. Moreover, it gave us an idea of using
blogs for sharing our ideas and thoughts to this world. The second module,
Introduction to Programming, has helped to gain basic programming skills
through Java. In this module, we learnt various aspects of programming,
developing logic and writing codes for a program. We also studied about BlueJ
application for simplifying the coding, compiling and running process of Java.
Moving onto next module, Logic, helped to gain and improve my mathematical
skills. This module also aided me to develop logic skills that eventually
benefited to create logics for programming. Moreover, it made me understand the
basic theorem of mathematics for application in programming sector. Furthermore
the last module, Problem Solving for IT, has assisted me to understand and
develop a nature of solving various types of problems in a better and
comprehensible way. Also, this module has made me to gain basic ideas for using
MS-EXCEL and MS-ACCESS. So, this all four modules combined has been a sea of
knowledge where my skills, ideas and thoughts all are lifted up in a better and
lucid way.
During my
semester I came up with many difficulties in dealing with subject matter. I
often got confused when new task was assigned to us. However, I frequently asked
my module leaders and tutors to deal with problems that I came up with. Their
feedbacks have really helped me in clarifying my confusion towards each and
every task. Moreover, those feedbacks have built up my confidence level and
understand the different ways to tackle a problem. I also understood the
importance of team work and contribution of individual team member in the team
work for better outcome. So this was a life lesson that I have learnt in this
semester.
Summing up, this semester at Islington
has helped me to develop my academic skills in studying, presenting as
well as sharing my ideas and thoughts clearly. Now, I see myself in a position
where my academic skills have been lift up. Now I feel more comfortable in
sharing my ideas and expressing feelings. An upgrade in my academic skills has
helped my confidence to rise up and this makes academic life at Islington
different than in others.
