Academic Development after 5th Week

The new experience that I had achieved reading in Islington College is diverse to my +2 level. I am so happy for being a part of Computing student in this college, which is the first and only one college in Nepal directly affiliated to London University. The arrangement of teaching and learning level of this college runs simultaneously as of London Metropolitan University.

Now, talking about my Academic Development during the period after 5th week is a progressive one and had gained lots of new experience. The studying schedule from 1^st - 5th week was running on a smooth manner which was of pretty easy and entertaining too. When we moved to 6th week, we had to give a test for a module named Problem Solving for IT, which was of important for us to demonstrate our observation of knowledge through a writing test covering around 30% marks of overall total marks in this first semester. Everyone was too scared for the test, thinking about how tough a question’s going to be prepared, our skills will be able to solve it or not. Finally, a test was of good one. On the 7^th week, we again had a test for a module named Logic covering around 25% marks of overall total marks for this first semester. Finally, a test was of so easy one comparing to Problem Solving for IT, most of us was able to score a grade A among which I was able too. We had a test for a module named Introduction to Programming also but it was not taken from London Metropolitan University, it was from our college to examine a student’s understanding in a programming concept. At last for a module named Study Skills for Computing, we were given a task to prepare a group presentation slides and we presented just as a dummy one only, a final one is to be submitted on the 13th week covering 50% marks of overall total marks for this module in first semester.

All the above description was my academic progress from a time period of 5^th - 8^th week. During those periods we had to give a test on each week for a three modules. We had a dummy presentation too which was of a group work and got a feedback too from our tutor how to develop a skills on doing a final presentation.

Computing

Computing is the course which helps in developing knowledge and skills in the field of software, hardware and information technologies as well. In the present world, the demand of computer is in a very high range. So now in every part of life, an information technology has been one of the most essential survivals assists for human beings. Without it’s availability a human can’t solve some kind of tough and critical problem which is impossible to solve by human power which may take so long time to solve it but with the help of computer it can be solved it so easily at a faster rate.

Programming concept is fully based on a coding part. It is developed in such a way that a programming language is converted into a machine level language and representing in a graphical environment as well through the help of a generated coding part in the program.

Logic can be compared with the mathematical issues and techniques related to computing mathematical needs. Some logic parts are like set theory, relation, functioned. Which is somewhat similar to as in +2 levels but not so tough one?

Study skills is related to developing a skills and knowledge among a students for being more creative in reflective reading, writing, developing a presentation skills, speaking in a massed. which is important needs in a life of students to step ahead.

Problem Solving is a part to develop an understanding a problem in a depth and finding out its solution in different ways, which acts as developing a mind skills in a students for solving any kind of problem going through depth.

The overall description of some modules is a part of computing to develop knowledge and skills in the field of modern information technology.

Academic Development

Islington College was formally known as Informatics College. This is the first and only one college in Nepal which is directly affiliated with UK University (London Metropolitan University. In the field of IT, three different courses (Computing, Networking and Multimedia) which we're being provided through this college is totally same as we'll be studying if gone to London met University. So, it’s too cost effective for Bachelor Degree staying in a town native land and being a part (student) of London met.

Comparing Islington with other IT colleges in Nepal there's a vast difference. Some examples like, In Islington most of the teachers had got their educational degrees from different corners of this world. All the teaching method is done through a vision and other different modern technologies which make students able to observe knowledge in an easy way.

I have chosen a computing course in Islington College. A teaching method which I have got in this college is really too good and so different than while I was studying in a school and +2 level. For each module, there's a three different classes like Lecture, Tutorial and Lab Classes. Because of different classes for each module we all have got a new experience of reading as per in a University level. All the teachers are so co-operative with a student’s i.e. they all are like a friends. The environment as well is so peace that we all love to stay in college and study mainly a Brit House.

So, over all description is my academic development.
