My flaws and action plan for improvement

Action plan

Improvement comes after realization and regular practice. For a developer, it is a necessity to acquire certain skills that guides him to a decent position in the programming world.

Java being the core part of the module, it illustrated an entirely different picture of programming. Being a new face in java, the structure of the program confuses me. Taking me a step back are the proper coding with functions of methods and parameters. To say in few words, it’s been hard to cope of with.

 I initially should develop a positive magnetism by self-search and initiation.To improve my flaws I have planned to learn java tutorials from YouTube. Javalessons.com and java world.com are the sites which can help me know the concepts of programming. I have also collected e-books like “The java language specification” and “Thinking in java”.  Furthermore, learning C++, PHP and web designing will give me various option in platform selection.

For the module problem solving in IT, I can’t give a proper logic to my points. Time management is not what it had to be with an effective solver. So, I have made up few plans for improvement. I would implement using lumosity.com. I will also go through brainstorming.com, mimdmeister.com and bubbl.us which will certainly increase my IQ and problem tackling skills.

Preparing for study skills in computing, where I lack a Standard English both verbal and written, I made a mind map to have a decent language. I will continue listening to BBC. I have planned to give 15 minutes of my day verbally practicing English through newspapers. YouTube has made access to many English tutorials for a good accent, which will be used by me the most. Going through e-book on powerful English speaking will certainly make me a good speaker.

 Perfection comes from hard work and the will to work. The ability to dedicate our time and resource for study is what I will be implementing on the days to come.

Skills, attributes and employment development

Learning IT in major computing gives us a handful of opportunities. Computing, as many people think is not only related to its programming portion. Going to the core of the semester, we have many interesting topics to deal with.

Problem solving in IT basically deals with the problem tackling skills which has to be applied in our day to day life. A good problem solver is what the global market requires. A person is judged by the skills and the techniques he applies and the attitudes with which he deals with the problem faced. I except to gain skills and a positive attitude to lead the world with better options.

 Study skills for computing is all related to the skills of preparing and presenting our work. Reports, presentation and group works will definitely will help me to build up my confidence. A good speaker and a presenter have a good opportunity in future as our work is just not only how good we made it but also how we choose to present it in front of the audience.

Introduction to programming is the key module of computing. Learning java as a programming language I expect to gain a core concept about it through which I would be able to make a good path of my own in the programming world. As java is  worldwide popular thus learning programming through it will give me an opportunity to stand  in any part of the world with my ideas.

Logic basically though maths is found to be widely related to programming. It would help me to deal with programming portion in an efficient and logical way .Though logic is simple in module, but the skill it provides will definitely make us better.

Previous experience and expectations for computing

“Any piece of knowledge I acquire today has a value at this moment exactly proportional to my skill to deal with it. Tomorrow, when I know more, I recall that piece of knowledge and use it better.” –Mark Van Doren

As says the quote,what we have learned helps us developing the skill to tackle it further in future.Choosing computing for my degree was like a surprise to myself, I hardly could prepare for it. But, knowledge never goes wasted whether you learn it or you perform it. The Qbasic, database, computer networking, hardware and software courses though learned little in schooling days has created a mental map as I see the subjects widely related to my 2^nd and 3^rd year. Being a sincere math performer, I realize the topics match to my 1^st year logic module. As every action gives an experience and a lesson, my habit of participating in almost every stage related programs and giving many mass presentation has developed my self confidence and presenting skills which will widely help me in this course.

“You got to visualize what you want to get before you get it”- Shiv Kher.

 Visualizing myself 3 yrs ahead, makes me imagine myself as a different character. I expect the course to develop me as a good programmer and a good presenter. I expect to gain not only the theoretical knowledge based on the modules but also the attitude toward problem solving, practical skills, technical information, methods of tackling problems in programming which will help me not only to follow the path of programmers but make a new path my way. Having learned modules like Programming, Operating System, Software engineering, Communication networks, I am quite confident that the course will help me emerge as a good programmer and performer in the field of information technology.

                     ABOUT ME AND THE REASON I CHOOSE COMPUTING 

"You dont need a reason to be happy. You need a reason to celebrate each part your day." 
 This line explains me the most. I am a satisfied person, expecting good things to happen in life carrying hardship, dedication and passion as the weapon throughout my way ahead.
Titled as Anushka Baral, simple living ,high thinking is what I have been taught all my life.That's the reason I am very interested in developing the character "me". Novels, magazines, and travelling interests me.Being called the "book worm" in the schooling days describes me as a vigorous reader .Loving basketball, volleyball and badminton, I have contributed in many intra and inter school tournaments(basketball).
"Circumstances never seems favorable to success. We got to make them favorable".As says the line, I like to keep things simple and easy going.

                                                                                                                                           

  Choosing computing as my course in the vast field of information technology guides me with many reasons.Previously being from a different field, I admit, I didn't had a previous background on what we are supposed to study in computing.So, I had to trust my guidance, those were my relatives, the Islington counseling team and  internet information.

   Computing became my final choice as its subject matter interested me.Web designing and software designing \developing is fun to learn. In this technological world, programming occupies a huge role in global organization.It has a vast field in the national and international scenario. A programmer is a necessity in every organization which states its big market and high demand. Positioning me as a developer, I feel I can contribute my skills in programming, which encouraged me to take a step in this new field, work hard, hope for the best and excel it.
