Summary of Semester I

All went smoothly until the ELEVATOR PITCH… It was really a ride to prepare for. Overall, the semester was very well structured, informative and integrated. The company projects were the most highlighting and outstanding areas for me.
 
Some tips:
  • Be punctual
  • Don’t miss too many classes even though the lectures are on black board
  • Start all module task during week one
  • Presentations come in daily doses. Prepare well for it and speak confidently!
  • Literature reviews can be a plague, plagiarism is terminal
  • Build a proper module foundation before entering companies
  • Make the most at companies – network, apply taught modules, think out of the box, LEARN new things, make quality and real recommendations. Remember first impression is always the last impression.
  • Exploit a hobby; sometimes you will need a stress reliever
