The group project is due this week, am glad we have completed our research. The final exam will be due next week we are getting close to the end of the class gradually. This week mini project about Wikipedia is kind of strange to me, i really did not know that anyone can edit the page as needed, its a good thing, but how do we determined the authenticity and genuity of the content posted since this is all open to the public. The class discussion for this week is an open one, everyone have the opportunity to post anything related to IT or of intersted. I have posted a question about password attack and what methods are used to design strong password. I have also responded to a question posted by classmate about wireless technology how it will affect the world if the transmission radio waves suddely vanished. This week learning experience are based on different area of IT cover in class and in the real world. I am looking forward to the end of this semester by mid August.

ITEC 610 Week 9 Reflective Learning

This week is a little bit challenging because we have the final exam coming up and also working on the group project that is due early part of next week. The topic about security improvenment and security threat and ethic was very interesting because i was able to understand how important is security in any organization. Considering the company i work for, after the end of this week i took a closely look at the security threats in my company by speaking to one of my friend in security team, and he explained the vulnerability and security threats experiencing and what steps are taking to resolves them. The class discussion is one of my favorite aspect for this class, i found it very imperative, most of the ideas are very helpful in understanding different areas of security. I am looking toward the final exam next week and we have less than three week to end the class.

The SDLC serve as a tool for maintenance that the developer can use at anytime to examine progress. I raised a point on the documentation in software development and how helpful that could be during system implementation. Another intersting topic of discussion for the week is the value and important of planning. A good plan is the basic for success. The reason why some organization failed is because they did not have a solid plans in place. A lot of comment and good points was discuss in this topic.

This week about the fedscope the goverment site is an interesting one, the trend that i focus on was federal Trade Commission. The topic about the globalization challenges and off shore outsoucing is a good one. After reading through many comments posted from the discussion class room, i see some reasons why company decided to outsources job oversee, but if that is the best solution for them i am not quiet sure, but from my understanding i think outsourcing take job away from the people that really here in US and pay taxes to government. The global chanllenging discussion i see and understand from different perspective how a political and cultral systems affect globalization.

ITEC 610 Week 6 Reflective Learning

Am glad the mid term is all over now, we are about halve way through the class. The mid term is a little challenging as I also have a midterm exam in my other class, because i did not get started on time and i have five questions to answer, all exams are essay question with minumum of 1pages. The mid term went well but i know for the final i will put more effort and start my exams on time. The midterm is not too difficult some of the questions are just time consuming, what i realized is that you need to put all your ideas form class discussion and the text together as quickly as possibble and start working on it, since we cannot use any external resources to answer the questions and also, you need to really think well to understand the key concept and what the instructor is actually looking for in the exam. I like the weekly blog idea because it is more like a summary of the whole week. So far the class is going good and am really enjoying what am learning from day to day activities, assignment and conferences.
