IS101 Introduction

Hello my name is Kimberly and I am looking forward to IS101! Initially, I was nervous due to not being well versed in technology, especially in a professional setting but after meeting the professor I feel a lot more confident due to him explaining that he will help us every step of the way and he wants to see us succeed! It was also very helpful that he reached out to all us before class started to set up a web meeting. This is the first time I've had a professor reach out like that which was very reassuring and definitely made my nerves go away. I'm looking forward to this class!

  1. Very glad to hear you feel more confident in using technology, especially in a professional setting, after our WebEx meeting, Kimberly ^_^

    May you translate that confidence into accomplishments in IS101 Introduction to Information Systems both inside and outside the classroom!

    Welcome to IS101-3004, Fall 2024 :-)

  2. I was very nervous also taking IS 101 for the second time. But I do feel more confident now that I have had WebEx meetings, when I feel completely stuck on something. With Mr. Wu reassuring me to just keep moving forward and helping me out along the way. I have gotten further than I ever have in this class. This has boosted my confidence even more, that I am improving everyday. I just need to not give up on myself!

    It is very nice and helpful that Mr. Wu has been so accommodating and helpful to every last one of us. He seems like a professor who actually cares about getting his students to pass. I wish you well in this class and hope that we all continue to strive to pass our certification exams. Good Luck!

  5. Hi Kimberly! "The hardest part is getting started." I love that quote, and I believe it's very true. The way IS101's curriculum is mapped out is awesome. The labs require you to apply what you learned in each section. I appreciate that about this class. I hope you're getting more comfortable and I wish you the best this semester.

  6. Hi Kimberly! I agree with you, it has been very nice that Professor Wu has taken time out of his day to be attentive to his students. It's not something I've experienced with other professors before but I'm very grateful for it now.

  7. Hi Kimberly!
    I can as well say that I was super nervous about having this class and I want to say that you are not alone about feeling nervous and not the only one that is not really well versed in computers and technology.

  8. Hey Kimberly, I for sure share the early jitters, but would say 'Yes!', Professor Wu's support does make all the difference. It was reassuring that he got in touch even before the class started — just to get us going. We look forward to this class with equal fervor and are much more confident because we have his support.

    Very glad to hear I alleviated your anxiety, Kimberly :-)

    Keep up the positive attitude & hard work and you will succeed not only IS101-3004, Fall 2024 but anything else you put your time and energy to ^_^

  10. Hello Kimberly, I totally agree with everything you said almost took the words right out of my, mouth as I had the same thoughts and experience not only with the IS101, but with Professor Wu as well.

  12. Hello Kimberly, You seem like a really nice person. I'm glad you are not nervous anymore; it was indeed surprising to have a teacher reach out like this; it's very rare.

  14. Hi Kimberly, I believe it is totally understandable to be nervous when experiencing something new. Technology in particular can be overwhelming when being introduced to it. With Professor Wu's guidance, you will be well versed by the end of the semester.

  21. Hi Kimberly, I also agree I was a bit nervous about starting this course. In high school I took a computer class and it was mostly about coding. I did not enjoy that class and part of me thought IS-101 would be similar. Professor Wu has been very helpful!
