Technology & Information System

In this subject, I have gained a lot of knowledge about the basics of computer and internet and how it works. I also learnt about the management of information systems which is beneficial for my future career as the knowledge and skills I required from it can play a huge role in my future career.  Throughout this semester learning and attending classes for this subject, my teamworking skills and communication skills have really improved as I need to communicate a lot in this class since all of our assignments are group assignments which requires teamwork and communication skills. Not only that, sometimes I need to present during class which helped a lot in improving my soft skills. Since I need to attend various talks for this subject, I also gained a lot of new knowledge that cannot be gained anywhere else. I have learnt the importance of having good soft skills and I will try my best to always become a better and improved person in the future by applying for clubs and trying to volunteer myself more during presentation.
