AFIF BIN GENARI @ AZHARI

     I'd want to express my gratitude and admiration to Mr Hairudin Abdul Majid, my TIS lecturer, for his extensive talks and discussions during our weekly class meetings. Sir will briefly describe the assignment as a brief guide for us to have a deep understanding of how we will complete the task during each assignment and project release time. It is tough for me to complete all assignments and projects on time without sir's guidance. 

     The Technology and Information Systems subject has introduced me to the world of evolving technology, which I was previously unaware of because I did not pay much attention to technology development prior to enrolling in the network and security programme. This actually relevant to both industry talks and project-based learning. Industry talks provide me with a wealth of information on how to work in the industry through the sharing of speakers from various sectors, and project-based learning, such as the low-fidelity prototype project, allows me to understand low-fidelity prototyping knowledge in addition to project report writing skills.

     As a computer science student, it is necessary for me to be knowledgeable in a variety of programming languages, including C++, Python, Java, and others. So, I'm going to work on polishing my C++ coding skills by participating in programming communities like Stack Overflow and Telegram Coding group, where I can learn the latest programming techniques and fresh ideas from other programmers. Because every coding issue has various answers, learning, in my perspective, is not just about self-directed learning but also about learning from others. In addition, I intend to compete in competitions or attend seminars to strengthen my soft skills, such as communication and leadership, which will assist me in obtaining a position in the company later.

     Lastly, I want to obtain all of the core abilities that a computer science student should have, such as coding skills and others, in my Network and Security course. My dream job would be to work for a huge technological business like Apple, Microsoft, or Amazon because of the excellent employee facilities, conducive working balance, and pleasant working environment, not to mention the high pay.

          In this course which is Graduate Success Attributes UHMT1012, I have learned many skills needed to increase my profile as well as the quality of myself. These skills are communication skills, thinking skills, scholarship skills, leadership and teamworking skills, adaptability, global citizen and enterprising skills. I have got a lot of output while learning about this course and also while listening to talks held especially for this subject. All these skills are very important to master in order to get a good job when I graduate. When I first started learning about this subject, my goal was to become fluent in conversation because I was previously shy to talk in public. In class, Dr Usman explained each attribute in great detail. So, from there I learned how to speak better. I also really enjoyed listening to Dr Usman taught, because his speech was very clear and easy to understand. I'll be more confident speaking in public once I've mastered soft skills. Furthermore, I may be confronted with a number of situations in the future. So, in order to improve my proficiency in each skill, I must participate in all of the university's programmes. Many programmes and clubs exist to help people enhance their performance and self-skills. The ESC club, which is UTM's esports club, and the entrepreneurship programme, which is hosted virtually every month, are two of the clubs and programmes I've joined. Both of these things can help me develop my leadership and entrepreneurial abilities. I'm overjoyed since UTM offers a variety of opportunities for each student. Each student's quality and talents will grow as a result of these programs. I pledge myself that during my time at university, I would do all in my power to obtain as much experience as possible and improve my working abilities.
