Task 1

Below are two of the ability I should aim to acquire during this course as a computing student.

1.    Use criteria and specifications appropriate to specific problems and plan solutions.

Being a computing student I will face the different problems in my career and for that I must acquire some skills to handle the problems which come ahead of me. I must learn to handle the problems during my computing course and gather experiences which will be useful for my career. Following are the steps that I should learn and experience when the problems comes in-front of me

·         Identify and understand the problem- when the problem comes, first I must be able to identify the problems and understand the complications of the problem.

·         Evaluation of the problem after solution- I must check whether the problem is solved with no side-effects otherwise look for other solution.

Above are the steps that I must experience during my computing course to face the problems In coming future.

2.    Work as a development team member, recognizing the different roles within a team and different ways of organizing teams

As a computing student and making career in software development, I must work in a group in my career so I must gain experience on group work and recognize and respect the roles of the members of the group. Working in a group with unknown peoples will be hard in coming future so I want to gain some group working experience and find the complications during group work and minimize these errors from my side. As we already have done our first group work project on our 1^st semester and being the leader of one group I personally encountered and experienced some complications that come during group work and I am trying to minimize errors of groups that comes from my side which will be a huge step for my career. I am also looking forward to learn different ways of organizing teams and team leadership.

So, above were the ability that I aim to acquire during this course.
