Personal Statement

It’s no doubt that technology has gained the most popularity and made a big space in the context of development in the world and computer technology has develop a lot and swiftly reached the top rank then other fields .So, I thought of moving ahead with the computer technology as my field and making a good name and money out of it. Studying IT has been a great achievement and I feel very lucky to study here in the Islington College with the affiliation of LONDON METROPOLITIAN UNIVERSITY.

Reflecting the academic  development, The four modules that I had undertaken in the first semester were, “Problem Solving for IT”, “Introduction To Programming”, “Logics” and finally “Study Skills For Computing”.

The module LOGICS deals with the basic concepts of the mathematics laws and properties that are useful for developing the sound knowledge of mathematics used in IT fields. Moreover, it had been a familiar module for me as since my childhood I have been studying mathematics.

INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING covered the important topics in java which helped me a lot in developing the basic concept. And I gained the confidence to access the quality of software with the knowledge for using programming language.

STUDY SKILLS FOR COMPUTING polishes the skills important to support the study level. This topic was quite new for me. As it deals with reflective learning and action planning. I think this module has been very helpful for me to build up confidence as it developed my skills of doing the projects.

PROBLEM SOLVING FOR IT deals with the strategy of solving logical questions systematically. It develops our skills to understand the crucial problems and solve it in better manner with more applicable logic. Also it introduced to the packages for solving the problems to the applicability to range of fields. 

I gained the basic knowledge of different topics in this past 13 weeks. Although my knowledge over these modules are basic labeled and fundamental, I can at least build a small java programs, and solve the problems in systematic manner then before. Also I am capable of writing small reports and blogs and can solve basic mathematical problems. I fell that I have updated my knowledge and skills then before.

During this semester I got lots of feedback from my lectures, mostly in programming. The programming was harder for me. So, I was encouraged to practice more and try out new ideas in the programming. My lecturer always advised me to use simple programming language and skip the unwanted loops.

 Also, I got feedback on study skills for computing. My skills of writing were not so good so my lecturer advised me to use better words and lines to maintain the grammatical order. And also I should improve my vocabulary to maintain the flow of writing within the topic.

As I was good at mathematics so I didn’t got many feedbacks on the LOGICS. But also lecturer used to encourage practicing more and solving all the tutorial problems.

 PROBLEM SOLVING FOR IT was really new topic for me. Lecturer used to advise me to solve different logical questions and try to use different tricks while solving. Besides these I was encouraged to do more self-research and not to relay totally on lecturer.

Through the feedbacks, I came to realize that I was a bit poor in programming and make many mistakes while using programming language. And my writings were not so good to gain good grades so I thought of improving my vocabulary as well. I took the feedbacks for me as backbone to improve my grades. Hence, I found myself poor at studies and lacking practice to become a good IT student.

My action plan for further academic development- I will practice mathematical problems a lot so that I can implement them in programs. I will research about the topics myself from the second semester rather than relying more on lecturer. Also, I am looking forward to build small java programs so that it will be helpful for me to understand java more. I will leave the habit of doing the assignment at the last hour and complete everything on time so that I can review my work properly. I am planning of taking more ideas from lecturer besides the classes. Now I will make the routine of writing at least two blogs in a week so that I can improve my writing. My next step will be attending the classes regularly so that I can understand the topic properly. Last but not the least; I will be doing combine studies with my friends so that I can get some fresh ideas.

I know it’s hard to study IT but I will try my best to see myself as a good IT Professional.
