Intro to college Life



 College life means a new journey in our life where we get the opportunity to meet new people from different backgrounds. But obviously first few weeks at college is absolute blur as am an international student and not have English language as my mother tongue. It was hard for me to communicate properly with other students and my professors. In addition to this one of the main problem that I faced was to adapt to the new education culture where most of the work needs to be done online rather then using pen and paper which includes assignments, quizzes, in class activities, group discussions etc. Moreover it was not an easy task to cope up with the program of computer system technician as It was not related to my previous studies However with time I found this course very interesting as my professors are very cooperative and helpful. In Durham college we are provided with lots resources such as DC connect which provide lots of information regarding our courses and videos that helps us to understand the subjects more effectively. Even if I missed any lecture I can get that content on DC connect.

In addition to this one of the facility that I liked the most is SALS. It gives us the opportunity to learn from our seniors and experienced teachers that are specialist in their respective fields as we can sign up for meetings with them through which we can get extra help to score better grades in our program. Along with that we also get an opportunity to share our knowledge with our juniors at the end of our first semester if we score more then 75%.Although during first few days of my college I was nervous and confused but later on I got used to this new culture and now I have more precise idea of completing my program.

Study skills

Study skills are an essential part of the learning process, as we acquire different ways of understanding topics or a subject during our course. I am going to share some of the study methods that I use as my study habits.           Firstly, I prefer to study at night as I believe it is the best time to memorize things easily as during night there is less noise in the surroundings which is essential to focus at a particular topic more effectively not only it increases the focus ability but also improves the long term memory of a person which helps me to memorize things for a long period of time. Along with that I also prefer to have a cup of coffee as it prevents me from falling to sleep and gives me some extra time to study more.          Secondly, I try to divide things into parts so that I could grab every detail of the material effectively without any burden. One study proves this point. Researchers from the University of Illino...

Teamwork

A teamwork is collective work done by more than one person to complete a task in a given time. To perform well in teams, one must have good communication skills to share ideas with others. It is easy to work with teams when everyone has similar mindsets, however in the business world when it comes to working with the people that belong to some other part of the world, it becomes difficult to maintain proper understanding among them. Another aspect of teamwork is to understand the weakness and strong points of every member that can make a team more stronger and effective. In my program that is a computer system technician, teamwork is considered to be an imperative part of our work. I feel that I have the ability to work in a group to perform well. however, I face difficulty to share my opinions with other team members. For the final project, I need to work with the other three members that can be challenging to me as they belong to different communities and have there own point of v...
