PERSONAL STATEMENT

I was able to choose this course finally after a long dilemma on what to study as transition from my +2 level to my college level was not flawless. When I started my first semester at the college, I didn't know what to do as everything was overwhelming and I was afraid if I couldn't do well competing with others. But gradually, I found the college quite interesting and exciting as I became familiar with the environment at the college with time.

I found the modules we studied at the college more interesting as we could learn more on different fields related to computing and it's applications .I found the beginning of the semester a bit difficult for me as computing was a new topic for me, since my knowledge to the computers was limited only up to the school level. The modules at the college provided the relevant knowledge on the fields related to computing.

During my study at the college, among the modules I found "Logic" more interesting as it aims to develops a range of mathematical techniques which included set theory, logic relations and functions.Throughout the semester I've stressed myself for good grades and this was possible for this module Logic ,which was one of the achievements for the semester.

"Study skills" was one of the topic which I found quite easy as we didn't have to give any written exams for the modules. This module boosted me with the confidence working in groups for the presentation. I got chance to learn more about the blogs and we created blogs and posted our academic achievement week by week. This module developed reflective learning and writing skills with the help of the Personal Development Planning (PDP).

Learning about the systematic solution of the problems in computers with algorithm and flowchart, use of the spreadsheets and databases in the module "Problem solving for IT" quite interesting as it provided me with the proper understanding about the use of these packages properly. I got the opportunity to elaborate my knowledge on the algorithm and flowchart which are the efficient problem solving tool for computing.

I was a bit afraid when I dealt with the module "Introduction to Programming" as I had limited knowledge in the programming. I thought it would be difficult for me to work through the module but unlike my thought I studied programming easily with the gradual flaw of time. I learnt programming with java which developed interest and confidence in using the Programming languages. We worked with BlueJ which was also one of the efficient tool we used to elaborate our knowledge and skills on the programming sector. Gradually, with time I found the topic to be more interesting as I experienced the way to be a good programmer solving simple Programming problems.

With the achievements and knowledge on the relevant fields of the modules. I got opportunity to flourish myself with the relevant knowledge to programming, broad knowledge for the spreadsheets and database packages.

Working with the coursework ,we were granted which carried our final grades was totally new and exciting experience to me Since, when I began my schooling I have only dealt with the final exams for the better results. Unlike the days at the school I found working on the coursework was a new experience which I  accomplished  successfully with the knowledge and skills I gained from the course which helped me a lot to understand many things and tackle the problems on the way in my daily experiences.

The course work granted to was based on the knowledge and applications we learnt throughout the semester. I was happy and satisfied working on the coursework with the use of the Spreadsheets and Database packages, use of BlueJ for the programming for the completion of the coursework.

Looking through the semester, I felt I grabbed golden opportunity studying the course as I was able to achieve the knowledge based on my experiences tackling the problems on the way to find the better solution to the problems. Working for the presentations in groups sharing the variety of ideas, knowledge among the group members made me delighted, as I was able to gather such experience working together in group.

Computing and it's applications in the world today have always fascinated me and for this reason I found the course more interesting .Since ,the beginning of my academic endeavors I wanted myself to be flourished as the good programmer with the proper implementation and use of the programming skills and experiences, I achieved throughout the whole semester. Utilizing the experiences and knowledge with the exploration of various paths for the successful future I would try to achieve my goal with my proper understating and knowledge.
