Year 1: Semester 1

I have realised that I have no structure to my post for this assignment yet, I am just writing randomly, about what ever comes to mind and I find important at the time. I have therefore decided to for a structure for each of my blogs so that I know everything is being covered and I am not repeating myself or missing anything out.

My structure will be, for the first few posts; going over my previous classes and providing a description of them, how I felt about them, and what my goals were for that class and what I achieved in that class.

I will be going in order of when I did the classes. Year 1 Semester 1 classes first, Year 1 Semester 2 classes second, Year 2 semester 1. I will then be up to date and will be able to change the structure of my posts to meet my new needs.

For this post I will try to cover my first semester of uni.

In my first semester at RMIT I completed the classes;

• Marketing
• Introduction to Organisational Behaviour
• Business Computing
• Information Knowledge Environments

I think that these subjects were a brilliant way to introduce me to the world of uni and the concepts of my degree. Organisational Behaviour was very good as it got me involved with students outside of my degree, it forced me to step out of my comfort zone and participate in public speaking and slowly develop my writing skills in many different forms.

Business Computing enforced this by giving me a format for writing my reports and expanding my computer skills.

Information and Knowledge Environments was also a good starting point as it introduced me to the correct way to reference my work and search the many databases of information provided to students at RMIT.

Marketing was the least useful as I found it to be dull and very simple. The one good point about marketing was that it made me more aware of how to use the DLS and meet important deadlines for assignments and tests.

My only goal for my first semester at uni was to pass all of my classes. I was so overwhelmed by it and how different it was to everything had ever done before that all I wanted to do was get through my first semester with no problems or hiccups. I achieved my goal and got better marks than I had first thought, overall I was very happy with my first semester at RMIT.
