Action plan

Current Situation

At current I am inexperienced in the world of Bachelor life. I have never used bluej or zoho (online project management tool) & never studied Programming language Java which is frightening, but my general computer skills are good so I am hoping to be able to pick things up quickly. My knowledge on the subjects at this point is OK but there’s a lot of improvement to be made, my weakest area at this point in my life is confidence, I have not much experience of meeting new people and giving presentation in front of them. This is something which I hope my time in Islington will improve.

Ideal Situation

To be in control of my life,

To achieve the best grades that I can,

To be confident in myself & everything that I do,

To be one step ahead when it comes to projects, researching and general tasks,

To have close friends and enjoy file.

Steps to success

·         Spend time at College getting to know the software I am unfamiliar with.

·         Keep a realistic timetable to allow me to put the needed amount of work into all of my projects

·         Complete tasks when they are set and not leave everything until the last minute

·         Believe in myself, gain confidence in talking to people I don’t know

·         Find a manageable balance between my study and my social life to enjoy myself as well as work hard

Skills Attributes & Employment Development

This is my third blog and I am discussing about the modules that I am currently studying in the first semester, what I am learning from these modules and how it is going to help in my career. Islington College gives an educational attributes on Computing, Networking & Multimedia. I have choose Computing and here I am studying four modules,

                         1.    Study Skills for Computing,

                         2.    Problem Solving for IT,

                        3.    Logic,

                       4.    Introduction to programming.

Study Skills for Computing: In this module, I am learning about how to develop my writing skills, giving presentations & handling group works.

Problem Solving for IT: In this module, I am learning how to solve logical questions, writing algorithms, drawing flowcharts, spreadsheets and databases.

Logic: In this module, I am studying computing mathematics like truth tables, Boolean algebra, logical gates, sets, binary number system etc.

Introduction to Programming: In this module, I am learning about Programming in Java.

                From these modules it will develop reflective learning and action planning through the Personal Development Planning process. It will provide an understanding of how problems can be solved systematically. I will be able to critically assess the quality of a software system and to implement a software system in Java.

To increase my basic fundamental skills, personals skills, thinking skills, through which I could develop appropriate attributes for employment and be able to take responsibility for my employ-ability through personal development planning. The modules have I chosen will help me to gain these abilities for my career.
