Reflection on SECP1513 Technology and Information System

My goal/dream concerning my course/program:

Compared to having an outstanding good CGPA, I will be more concerned about the hard skills or soft skills earned throughout 4-year university life. In our program, some technical skills like database management, data analyzing, data mining and etc, are important to help us in our career future as these skills are tools that help us to do our data works or projects in the workplace. And hence, what makes more significant to our works is the technical skills learned and mastered in the university which is an essential tool for me to pursue my goals and dream to contribute my efforts on data works.

The action/improvement/plan necessary for me to improve my potential in the industry:

Despite there are lots of technical skills that can be learned from the courses provided which improve our potential in the industry, I think it will be great if we are proactive to learn more new things. And thus, I plan to use any long-term study break to self-learn new skills like Machine Learning or practice how to use the related programming language to solve data-related problems. Besides, it is essential to gain actual experience so it will be better if I try to intern in companies outside as a good way to earn new experiences. Overall, there are basically two things, learn extra new skills and earn work experience to improve my potential in the industry.

My opinion on whether this subject contributes to my knowledge on specific areas:

From this subject, Technology and Information System actually contributes a lot to my knowledge in some specific areas like 4IR, IoT, cloud computing, and also data analytics. We learn to know the outline and framework of how computer systems work and how cloud computing contributes fundamentally to technology and information system. From this subject, I am more understanding about cloud computing and database which are the parts I am interested in the most in this subject. Not only that, we did having AWS course about cloud computing and its architecture which is a very new thing and interesting for me. 

Acknowledgment for lecturer:

I appreciate having a dedicated lecturer, Dr Izyan Izzati binti Kamsani who gives lectures and lessons interactively in online classes which makes the class have interacted actively while absorbing new knowledge. Thanks for the guidance and clear instructions, pieces of advice given while in doubt.
