My this reflection is about the TECHNOLOGY AND INFORMATION which is designed to provide students with a working knowledge of computer concepts and essential skills necessary for work and communication in today's society.
I am studying in SCSP1513 of "Technology and Information System" (TIS) Section 07 which are guided by Dr. Haswadi Bin Hassan. As a student of computer science(software engineering) in UTM, this course is a compulsory subject to be taken in first semester.
After studying with Dr. Haswadi Bin Hassan, I gained a lot of new knowledge regarding information technology and information systems that are mostly considered interchangeable. In fact, IT is a subset of information systems. The belief that these words may be used synonymously can create uncertainty for individuals interested in pursuing a technology-related profession. While these two fields relate with computers, they have different characteristics and unique career paths that entail different training and education.
I have also learned that information technology plays a key role in accelerating the transfer of information in order to make things easier. This is how people are cultivated by a need for more, faster and more urgent approaches. The fast acceleration of modern technological innovation and creativity is a huge shift in the way people live, work and play over the years, which has contributed to a great effect on people's lifestyles. As a result, I have come to realize that, in this new day and era, information technology has become an important enabler for people.
This semester was a beautiful journey, and I truly loved every minute of it. Any week, I'd be ready to wait for the TIS class because it's one of my favorite classes. All activities were online due to the pandemic situation and all assessments were made using online resources. All sorts of assignments were submitted via UTM E Learning and all the tests and quizzes were also done using online method. The most exciting and enjoyable moment was when we got the Design Thinking Project, which was a perfect chance for us to demonstrate our inner strengths and thinking skills.
All lectures, assignments, tasks, projects and tests were straight forward. And this whole learning process assignments comes out very beneficial. About improvement of the course I don't have any special suggestion because the whole course was very detailed and organized but if the course would be F2F it would be better. I actually really enjoyed this course. I totally admire and respect the efforts and hard works of lecturer towards this course.
My dream/goal for this course is to learn new things as much as possible and to develop my skills, because in today's world skills are really important to our career. I would love to develop leadership skills in order to serve in adverse circumstances and learn to communicate with others, because all these things are really important to our jobs. So, the strategy that is appropriate for me to improve my industry ability is to take care of certain crucial things. I need to know about my skills and my vulnerabilities. The skills that I already have I need to develop even more, and the skills that I don't have, I would try hard to develop those skills. I will keep an eye on the market and know the criteria of the present times so that I can focus on that and get myself prepared. I will need to learn about innovation so that I can do better if I were to have my own startup. Basically, these are the things I need to do if I want to have a decent future. If I can do these things, I think I can do better in the industry. At the end I would like to thank to my dear lecturer, I feel so truly lucky to have a teacher who shows all of the care, understanding, and patience. Thank you for everything. We really appreciate and pray for your good health.
