His study tip
Time management and organization are the keys to staying up to date with your tasks and diminishing the likelihood of feeling overwhelmed. Mark your calendar and keep it updated with all deadlines, exam dates, presentation dates, or any other pertinent dates as soon as possible and consult it regularly. Get into the habit of estimating workloads and regularly planning what tasks to complete on which days using your calendar to aid you in your task prioritization.
His best experience at Concordia
My best experience so far involves a course project I did within a team of students for the COMP 345 course. The project goal was to design and build our own d20 game in C++. As someone who has always enjoyed video games, I was highly motivated to invest my energy into this project to maximize its quality. We also had an exceptional team dynamic, communicating and collaborating effectively to accomplish our goals. Working on this project has not only strengthened my love of video game creation and C++, but it has also been a demonstration of the power of a strong team synergy.
His favorite part of the program
As someone who thrives in concrete logical thinking and deductive reasoning, I quickly knew I was in the right program. My favorite part about computer science is its potential for task automation and resource optimization. Computers can perform high-speed task execution and there are infinite computational problems on a global scale that can leverage its power. It brings me fulfillment to invest my time into analyzing computational problems and conceptualizing solutions to them, contributing to the overall effectiveness and efficiency of our daily activities.
His next big goal
Although I have reached the end of my studies, I recognize that I have barely scratched the surface when it comes to my learning path and that the learning process has only just begun. Since I am very open in my interests in computer science as a whole, my next big goal is to continuously seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skillset. Through this process, I will not only learn and gain valuable experience, but I trust that I will also discover my own specialized interests and ambitions when the time is right.
