Session One

Session one has always been an icebreaker for me. I use session one to get an idea of how much work is going to be required of me during the week. I use this to adjust my schedule to me the required deadlines. I also find out in session one how well I read the syllabus. In this class I mixed up the required dates for the group projects and the term paper.

This was the first time I had to complete a group assignment in the first week. I see many of us are still trying to adjust our schedules to meet deadlines. Some have little to adjust, which makes it easier for the group in the beginning. The groups I worked with have all helped and understood challenges people may face during the term. I have been in groups where one or two people may do the work for a couple of weeks, while others handle personal problems. It worked out well as long as we were all there at the end.

I like the pace and work load of the class. The book introduces IT from the basics. I am almost sure it will get more technical at the end. The articles in the UMUC library are outdated when it comes to IT. I am second guessing if I should subscribe to some of the IT magazines at the beginning of the class.
