Course Review - A Look Back

Well it has been a fun ride and I can honestly say that in semester 1 New Communication Technologies has been my favrioute course.

Coming into the course I was not 100% sure what to expect, as I am a first year student at Uni, but the welcoming way that Steve and Jules acted and the approachability of them both helped immensly.

As for the course itself, it was great. The knowledge that we were imparted upon about New Communication Technologies that were out there were of great interest to me and I really enjoyed learning about them. The final lecture in week 12 actually now has me using programs such as Open Office and Linuex, and that would not have happened if not for this course as I would never have learned about them.

The tutorials in terms of teaching me new things were great. I had a basic understanding of Photoshop before hand but now I know much more about how the program works and how to get more out of it. I found some cool sites on the internet during our "Internet Field Trip" and I learnt the basics of MS Excel.

I have to thank Jules for his friendly nature and his help, your a top bloke mate!

As for Steve, he has put in alot of effort into this course and the material he displayed in the lectures were very interesting and educational. Him including different tutorial exercises not only taught us about computer theory but helped us in learning many computer programs like word, excel, powerpoint etc.. getting guest lecturers in the class from different interests, fields and their experiences taught us alot about computer theory.

I know the above may kind of sound like I am repearting myself but it needs to be said, the whole course was very accessable. The only thing I didnt like about it was Cybertherapy *snore* but other than that 100% guys!

Well, I am signing off now, its was good to meet you guys, Jules I will see you around the Uni, as for Steve, he is the convernor for one of my courses next semester, so see you there!
