Summer Class Mode!
Good day bloggers!
Summer class is on its 2nd week this time. I handled Computer Programming 2 for Computer Science First Year. These set of students are quite resourceful, shalll we say "responsible" in their studies compared to some of my IT 1st year last sem, but infairness for those good IT 1st year studes as well.
The topics to be discussed are just the same with the topics discussed for IT but differ on the duration of lessons to be delivered. What I mean is that, for IT, this subject is offered during the semester or it should be learned and delivered for 5 months and for the CS, the 5 months lessons are being compressed into 6th weeks! Imagine that…lol…
Well, that’s the design of their curriculum, that was why, we came up a new curriculum just last week and ready for the approval wherein IT, CS and IS students (new name for IM) will take this subject during the regular semester. I know these CS students of mine right now have determination and discipline when it comes to the subject. You can see to their output and partial performance as of this time, good for them. Speaking more about the curriculum, there are big changes happened in the curriculum especially in the areas of concentration like: Networking, Software Development, Multimedia, Databases, more mathematics subjects and others. OJT or Practicum has been strenghtened and revised when it come to its policies and guidelines. Summer Classes are optional. Overall, these changes in the curriculum will bring impact to the incoming freshmen of the ITE program.
