Interacting online
Hello, everyone, my name is Adwan Alshammari, a Saudi national, but I am currently living in the USA to further my studies as I seek opportunities to expand myself and my career. My major is information technology. This is my first history class and since every subject has its history I believe that this course will be useful when integrated with my IT major. I have had other few online classes before this and at first, they were challenging. My IT background helps me to navigate through the pages with less or no struggle most of the times. The coronavirus pandemic has shown that many things including classes can be done online effectively and thus we all have to adapt.
My goals and objective in this course are to learn the importance of history especially in the IT sector and use that information to advance my career. I also want to identify secondary and primary sources and know-how information technology can be used in the evaluation and preservation of primary sources. These objectives will be achieved by following the course work keenly and going a step further to read other outside sources. I will also seek help from my instructor and my colleagues for anything that may challenge me. I do not expect my instructor to spoon feed me but I expect that the instructor will be available to assist me in case of challenges or questions. In short instructor’s, availability is what I need to succeed in this course. The pandemic has given us an opportunity to interact online and thus i would urge everyone to interact and assist each other where necessary.
