Final Stretch

From Classroom to Career: Developing Skills and Leading Projects

As I approach the end of my college journey, I find myself in the last stretch of my academic career. In this final semester, I have enrolled in one of the last two classes I will have to take. This course has been a great experience for me, and I would like to share my thoughts on it.

The class I took was centered around creating a web app directory of the ICS department called Room Directory. This directory was meant to include information about the faculty, offices, and clubs within the department. The project was quite challenging, as it required us to use a range of skills, including UI development, front-end development, and project management.

One of the things I enjoyed about this course was the opportunity to enhance my UI development and front-end skills. Before taking this class, I had some knowledge of these skills, but I was not confident in applying them to real-world projects. However, working on this project with my team members allowed me to put these skills into practice and gain the confidence I needed to take on more challenging projects.

Another valuable skill I developed in this class was project management. I learned how to organize my work, set realistic deadlines, and coordinate effectively with my team members. This experience was particularly helpful as it gave me a better understanding of what it takes to manage a project successfully.

Working with my team of nine members was also a great learning experience. I learned how to communicate effectively with others, how to work collaboratively, and how to be a team player. These are all valuable skills that I believe will be essential in any future job or project that I undertake.

As I look back on this class, I feel proud of the work we accomplished. More importantly, I feel grateful for the opportunity to develop these valuable skills. I believe that the skills I have developed and practiced in this class will be of great benefit to me in the future. Whether it’s building a web app or working on a project with a team, I now have the confidence and experience to succeed.

In conclusion, I feel that this class has been a significant milestone in my college journey. It has allowed me to enhance my skills, develop new ones, and work effectively with others. With these skills development and practice, I hope to continue to develop my abilities and utilize them in my future work after college.
