COURSE NARRATIVE:
I took this course fall 2018 and it fulfills MLO 6: Information technology Literacy.
This course was directed the class through the creation of this website and numerous other helpful technological tips. This was done through the very helpful tech staff at our Language Department. With them we worked for several weeks to create this website and add the necessary features that will allow us, in the following semesters, to easily create an online panorama of our academic formation and development at CSUMB. This course also helped us produce a resume that will be useful for the future, as I previously had never made one. Another very crucial and helpful process we worked through was getting to know our academic advisors a bit more, while they helped us create our ILP (Individual Learning Plan) that would serve as a helpful checklist of the courses we undertake in order to keep up with the requirements in time to graduate. The ILP that we created is available in the bottom of the Home page of this website.
This course ran through the semester by exposing us to numerous professors of the World Language and Culture Department (WLC) presenting numerous helpful topics, such as study abroad and graduate school. With these professors, we were were given insight into various other topics that we did not have much exposure to. Since we would be experiencing more contact with these topics, these basic and short lessons into these topics allowed us to have some starting knowledge. One of these topics was linguistics, in the lesson we learned about the various branches of linguistics and how closely it relates to a vast number of other aspects of society.
Towards the end. of the course we had presentations from people who had passed by our steps and graduated from WLC. These presentations we were also able to interact with past students and ask questions that pertained to relevant future endeavors in the WLC Major as they were now either in further schooling or in different careers around the world with the experience they gained here at CSUMB.
