My First Two Weeks

These first two weeks in my IS101 class have been a positive experience and a lot more different than what I was expecting initially. A couple of days before class started, I was a bit nervous about IS101 when I started to see all the LabSim assignments coming in through Canvas. I thought the workload was going to be stressful, and that added to my nerves about the class since I'm not very well-versed in technology. Still, after successfully making it through the first week of the semester and completing the initial LabSim assignments, I was pleasantly surprised. There were a lot of tasks for the homework assignments, but they were very straightforward, and you were allowed to re-do the same task until you did it perfectly, which helped me grasp the concept a lot better. Professor Wu has also been very helpful in making sure my work is nothing short of perfect, so I feel very comfortable reaching out to him if I have any issues with my assignments.

I have chosen LabSim task 2.5.12 Skill Lab: Configure Networking and User Accounts. I use these skills all the time, whether connecting to CSN's wifi, connecting to my home wifi with a new device, or whenever I go to a new location where I have to connect to the wifi. I have a lot of experience with connecting devices to different wireless networks so at this point, it's something that I'm very familiar with. It's a skill that a lot of people know how to do since our world is very technology-oriented.

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!
