Improvement of Skills and Attributes

Every course of study has its own way of learning. Some of them have common ways whereas some are complicated. None of them are easy to understand as we think they are. Each course has its own technique of learning. As we know the world is getting advanced day by day, IT is one of the highest paid job in the world currently. Software engineers are highly demanded for their talents which can bring a vast progression in the world. Now days, companies look for highly skilled graduates who can deal with all the technical problems and having problem solving capacity and also presenting it in a proper way.

Focusing on all the modules, I also need to improve both my oral and written English. Being fluent and having proper speaking skills can be useful to explain others. Especially when I’ll be facing the big crowd, I’ll have to be strong enough to solve problems and explain it in the best way I can. This has been one of my major area of improvement from beginning of the session which I have been equally focusing with all the modules.

For being successful in future, I’ll have to concentrate on lectures and class teaching, staying up to date with assignments of all the modules and also having a good attendance. It’s been almost 7 weeks I have been in Islington college and it has been guiding me to the right path. I have been taught about some programming languages such as Java, Blue J, Python etc. Currently we are working on a group, in which we have been giving presentations about PowerPoint, explaining how to use it with some tricky ideas too. I would like to improve my programming skills and crowd facing skills.

Skills and Employment development.

In this course of study, we have to study four modules. One of which is “Study skills for Computing” which deals with making Blogs, using Zoho, group presentations etc. Till now we have been taught the basics in using Blogs and working in a team. From this module, I expect my written and spoken English to improve and also build my confidence while giving presentations. I hope to improve my skills in further future while presenting projects and giving job interview.

The second module that we have to study is “Logic”. It consists of Mathematical based problems which we have been studying in both lower and higher level. In this module we are taught about truth tables, circuit diagrams, and different laws to solve logical problems, numbers based on computer programming. From this module, I expect to solve logical equations and problems and understand the programming codes in a better way.

The another module is “Problem solving for IT”. It is based on different problems which are tricky and can only be solved by thinking logically and not just random thoughts. In this module, we study about IPO charts, flowcharts, structure charts and Algorithms. These are important for computer programming and improves our thinking capability.  And hopefully it will help me improve my mind’s accuracy also help me to understand programming.

Last but not the least, the final module is “Introduction to Programming”. It is based on the usage of Java programming. First we used to do the programming in Notepad and later, when we understood the programming codes better, we started using the software “BlueJ”, which helps us to do the programming in a easier and better way. It will help me to become a good programmer and hopefully it will help me to work in better Companies related to IT.
