My comments are bellow.....theese are my CIP reflections

Do you think the syllabus covered is appropriate? Is this what you expect in the module? If not, can you suggest what other useful topics to be included in CIP, OR what topics should not have been included at all (if any)?
Are the workshops on MS Word, Powerpoint & Macromedia Dreamweaver, Flash interesting & useful? Are these appropriate in developing your IT hands-on skills?
Are the PBL problems authentic enough for you to learn better? Does it provide an opportunity for you to work effectively in teams as well as develop problem solving skills?
Are the lecturers and tutors helpful in your learning? Is the class size of 40 a good size for effective learning?
If there is 1 thing that you can change in CIP, what would it be?
If there is at least 1 useful thing that you appreciate in CIP, what would it be?

So now here are my comments on my CIP....

Okay, yes, CIP is indeed a mind broadening module as it strectches my mind...Indeed, this was what I expected from CIP, except that I feel that more emphasis could be place on more practical skills such as studying how business fail due to IT failures and so on. We as business students will then have some knowledge on how to deal with them in the future, if we face one.

Indeed, yes, flash, MS word and so on are very applicable to us and is very hands on. This is important as we as poly grads need to know how to use such stuff. The PBL 1 report was good in giving us something hands on to do. I feel that I learnt the most from doing the report.

The problems and authentic enough yes...But somehow, i feel that we as business students only gave "theoratical answers". I feel that maybe one lesson on practical troubleshooting can be held to boost our competency in this area. Neverthless, the problems provided an avenue for teamwork and group cordination..

The lecturer is good and the class size of 40 is an appropriate number to sick to. I mean, the lecturer has enough time to divide among the whole class and each person has enough attention given to him or her.

If there is one thing I can change in CIP, the first and foremost thing is to make it even more practical. Even though there are PBLs and so on, I feel that the exam has too much a weightage. Maybe a test 2 can be given and the student will be tested on certain practical skills, like say how to remove a virus or install a firewall..It may be a rather fresh idea, but I feel that students these days don't know how a firewall works in real life. So maybe students can be given a test on how to install firewalls and how to make use of them?

I appreciate learning MS word by leaps and bounds. Learning to use footnotes and so on are very important for me, yet i would not have known if not for CIP. So I feel that learning more advance ms word features is very very essential for me.

CIP is a good module and it should be continued for the next few semesters. But maybe more hands on activities can be done.
