Skill Attributes and employment development

I am a tertiary level student, pursuing my bachelors’ degree in Computing, and currently I am in my first semester of my first year studying four modules.

One of the modules of the first semester is study skills for computing which has been designed for developing soft skills required for studying computing. This course includes Writing blogs and personal development statements, also conducting group works, preparing project reports, creating power point slides and performing presentations which eventually help us to improve our presentation and documentation skills. I believe studying this course will help me develop my confidence and act as a crucial phase in preparing myself to face tough job interviews and work in the real world.

Problem Solving for IT is the module in which we learn techniques and gain knowledge about solving IT related problems. It helps us builds our thinking capabilities to solve problems and issues, by understanding, brainstorming, creating and applying logics.  Employers in the real world, hire skilled people having problem solving capabilities. I expect to develop my ability to be creative and solve problems with my intelligence and logic, by studying this course.

As a computing student, having a sound knowledge of programming and coding is very essential, thus Introduction to programming is a very important module. This module majorly includes basic JAVA programming, programming principles, understanding of object-orientation and get idea of simple java coding. I aspire to become an IT professional and because of having keen interest in programming, studying this course will act as the base and will help me learn further programming and eventually work as a programmer in the future.

Logic is a module, which provides us with mathematical knowledge to solve IT problems technically. Logic is very important for programming while building softwares. It is very essential for every programmer to have mathematical knowledge for programming. Studying this module will enhance my calculations and mathematical logics. In the future it will help me apply these logics, during software building.
