This course SECP1513-03 Technology and Information System has been a constant joy to study. From the very first class our lecturer Dr. Johanna Binti Ahmad has been very responsive and interactive and has tried to make the lessons interactive and interesting. She has made us take part in class activities in teams to improve our team working skills and also to enable us to get a deeper understanding of the lesson.
This course is a first-year course and its main intention is giving students general ideas on may important topics and subjects in computer science. Such as Information Systems, System Analysis and Design, Databases etc. Having Ideas on these topics is vital for computer science students. I myself am a second-year student and I have already taken the courses Database, System Analysis and Design and so on. When taking those courses, having some basic information about them from before would have served me very well and helped me dive into those courses instantly. This is what the course Technology and Information System aims to do. The course I feel has been designed to provide a strong foundation for computer science and specifically software engineering students. The course has had a lot of group assignments which has helped to improve teamworking skills and has helped to get a better grasp on some of the topics. The assignment on PC assembly really made open up my CPU chassis and look at all the components. The course has also had a lot of Industrial Talks which were hosted by our honorable lecturers. These talks I believe have coved some very valuable topics and have provided useful information.
So, the course TIS has given me some very useful insight which will help me throughout my academic life and my profession life. It has also given me some fond memories which I will cherish.
