My Improvement Plan



Skills and knowledge for me in this semester was all the formal knowledge given in every module from lecture classes and all the experiences that I gained by doing workshops and lab sessions which included different problem solving exercises. But since I still need to learn more and improve these skills, I have planned to use my different ways to improve in each module.
            In Logic module, I learned all about reasoning and its principle. Since I think I am not that good at finding validity of the arguments, I have planned to revise my lecture slides and seek help from internet in that topic to improve myself in this area. I would also like to improve in drawing logic gates faster and efficiently.
            In Introduction to Internet module, I know all the design techniques and skills that I learned from lecture classes but still I have to go back to revise some of the code and syntaxes. So I have planned to memorize basic codes, commands and syntaxes to design and execute interactive websites efficiently.
            In Further Programming module of Java, I learned different techniques of inheritance, polymorphism, etc. I have planned to improve myself in different GUI techniques and commands so that my projects can be interactive and I can solve different user required problems efficiently.
            Lastly, in Study Skills for Multimedia module, I learned how to write articles for blogs like this one, improved my reflective writing, learned different presentation skills and even learned how to work in a group effectively. My improvement in this module was mostly in my writing skills. I think I need to learn more presentation skills and gain experience from different presentations done by me or by others. So, I have planned to mainly focus in presentation skills and improve myself in this area.

Modules for this Semester


The four modules that I am studying in this semester are very helpful to my future as a multimedia student. I am really focused on each of these modules so that I can get more knowledge to enrich my skills and capabilities. The four modules that I am learning in this semester are Logic, Further Programming, Introduction to Internet and Study Skills for Multimedia.

            In Logic module, I am learning about principles of reasoning, logic gates and circuits and sets. I expect to all those needed principles required in digital reasoning and how different logical circuits, functions and expression works. This module will surely help me in different ways to summarize possibilities of the statements and to solve reasoning problems using different software.

            In Further Programming, I am learning more advanced level of java programming. With this module’s knowledge different requirements while coding can be easily fulfilled. I have learned different terms like inheritance, substitution, polymorphism, subtyping etc. This will surely help me to code different interactive programs and software to meet the requirement of the user.

            In Introduction to Internet, I am learning how to make an interactive website for different purposes using HTML, CSS, and Dreamweaver etc. With the knowledge from this module I am already making quite attractive website. I am expecting to learn more knowledge so that I can create website to accept input from user and process the data to get desired output using programming languages like JavaScript. This is very helpful for me in the future to design desired websites.

            In Study Skills in Multimedia, I am learning how to study in this university and gain more knowledge effectively from this college. This module is actually the main module which has helped how to effectively study, prepare coursework and follow rules for all the modules. This module has also increased my self confidence and I am expecting to learn more about how to create different presentations required in my future assessments in different modules.
