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.
wow…the new curriculum that was been a hot talked last year is to be implemented this coming school year?!…
I so much like it especially in the majoring which a student can choose whether he/she likes to concentrate on Networking or Software Development,or Multimedia, or Databases or etc… In this way,a student will be more productive in his/her skill…
ooohhh… I wish…

Wow.. Its really good for the incoming students that they have a field to practice with… But what if they dont like the majoring they took up? and want to transfer to another majoring?

@jopal…i think this is the purpose of catering the needs of the students in reply to industry standards..

Wow! It’s nice to hear that thing.It really gives a big advantage to those student who really want to focus on what they wanted to be.Maybe now the student can determine easily what are the difference of IT and COMSCI.
