Glimpse of the module

With ending of the orientation week for the 2nd year the classes started in the following week. And our lecturer for Applies Research Methods and Professional Development was Mr.Syed Rehan.

Sir kicked of the first class with giving some glimpse of the module ahead. Thus we were noted with following facts as introduction:



  • Learning objectives
  • Module aims
  • Module learning outcomes
  • Topics covered during the semester
  • Recommended reading 


Further we were made aware of skills and careers in the IT field. 
Hence we grasped the following 4 main skill types in IT;



  • Ability to understand the problem - Problem Analysis
  • Ability to apply the suitable solution - Academic Research
  • Ability to design the solution - Convert problem to software
  • Ability to implement the solution - Artifact


 Accordingly sir explained about the deliverables at the end of the semester, thus we were supposed to submit the following,

 Final year project project proposal covering the following:
    •  Professional l format
    • Correct referencing
    •  Justification of feasibility and viability as anacademic project
    •  Clarity of project aims
    • Appropriate method
    •  Logical planning of tasks, level of detail
    •  Consideration of risks

Learning log under the following criteria:
    • Completeness                                                                         
    • Research & Follow-up                                                            
    • Task Completion, Cooperation & Involvement                      
    • Reflection & Critical Thinking          
Professional Curricular Vitae up to standard which we can present at a job interview.

At the end of this session personally I realized how importance is professional presentation is important at an job interview. Also understood important skills and talents that are essential when involved with the IT industry and how to enhance the particular skills to obtain productive results in the short run. Mainly I figured out the fact that working on deadlines is very essential in the college life and industry as well.
