I had a love-hate (mostly love) relationship with IS101.Doing this class was kicking my butt. because when the class started I did not know it was fast-paced course. And also i did not know how to study for it either. Unlike most of my previous classes where had text book read through and call it a day. But IS 101 is different especially when I took the first exam that made me realize the technique i was suing to study for the classit was not working. So I have to quickly regroup and come up with different plan if I want to succeed in class. Even if you I owned a computer and work on it everyday still doesn't mean you automatically know all features and comprehend how to use it unless your ready to go through this class and get better understanding of things. One last advise no matter how hard this course gets never give up. Huge Thank you to my Professor Albert
This class was definitely fast paced and packed full of information. I didn't believe the syllabus originally when I saw it said to expect to give at least 10 study hours per week. I stand corrected. It was great sharing this semester with you!
ReplyDeleteMost welcome Mary, I'm glad you didn't run away from IS101-3003, Fall 2023 as mentioned in your inaugural blog post :-)
ReplyDeleteFeeling overwhelmed, especially with English being your third or fourth language and first time in a hands-on computer-based course, is not surprising. Your self-reflection and adapting your own learning techniques, along with your indomitable spirit, are the ingredients of your success!
Good advice about never give up. May it continue to serve you as you succeed academically and professionally ^_^
This class was definitely kicking my butt at one point of time too. It was all worth it in my opinion! I definitely gained more than I lost. Great job Mary!
ReplyDeleteI never say much in class, but I see everything. You're one of the hardest worker, Mary! You have grown and accomplished so much. You never give up which is what made me admire you so much! I'm so glad to see you succeed in this course.
