My First 1st Semester

My First Semester! Its my second semester in La Salle. I was tasked to handle Network Principles and Programming, and Network Management. I was handling back then 4th year or graduating students. 2 Sections coming from Computer Science and 1 Section with Information Technology.

The Network Principles and Programming deals in using different kinds of Network Protocols such as TCP and UDP to pass information from one client to another.

During the 1st week in my Computer Science class, I discussed about the different concepts of Networking. As I'm discussing, I'm also checking out the students if they are listening. But during those discussions, I think they were bored, maybe because of the topic in which they could not really apply, but they didn't know that the concepts would really greatly help them in their programming in the subject.

After I proceed with the programming, I was expecting a lot from them to know the basics of Java Programming. And I realized that they had already forgotten how to program using Java. But as time goes by, they managed to surpass their difficulty in programming (I think?).

The subject is not really that difficult. It just takes some understanding and programming to master the subject.

And about my Network Management class, it was all about concepts and little on the practical side. They had some difficulties on the concepts because it really takes some understanding, and also some memory to remember the different concepts in Networking.
