CSC (Computer Science)105 - Business Application

 If you want to transfer any University as business major, you should take CSC105 class. CSC105 is really important class to be required when you try to transfer. This class teaches general computer skills for business. 

 Actually, I was afraid of taking this class because this class looked very sticky and boring. But, after taking class at last spring semester, I learned a lots of things related to the computers and can get a confidence about basic computer skills. 

 At first, this class generally is divided 4 parts: Excel, Access, (VB)Visual Basic, (VBA)Visual Basic for application. Many students are familiar to Excel and Access as I was. In Excel class, I learned how to make charts and use function efficiently. In Access class, I learned how to organize the criteria and manage customs. For example, lets assume you have a video store.  If you manage many customers, you can easily access customers by name, address, favorite video, and their history, which would make you easily manage your customers.  I think that those parts don't hard for you to follow. 

 Some students might know VB(Visual basic). It enables the rapid application development of graphical user interface applications. VB makes you access to database by using access objects. In other words, through this class, you can learn how to design interface and access data by putting objects. It was interesting to me. 

 In my experience, the most difficult part was VBA(Visual Basic for Application.)  VBA is similar to VB, but performs differently. VBA class could give you how to manage for business. For instance, I learned how to calculate retirement grants automatically. If I put the any age in excel, this program automatically show the estimated retirement grants. But, you should write on code completely for performing. A little mistakes like misspelling doesn't allow the computer to execute well, which often made me irritated. Honestly, I was very irritated while studying the VBA. However, after understanding the VBA, I recognized how the awesome program the VBA is. 

Finally, I got A in this class. "No pains, No gains."

I'd likely to recommend this class if you are planning to transfer as business or become business men. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

I think many Parkland students are interested in getting a part time job in School as I was. 

Getting a job gives us many benefits.

So, Are you ready to follow me? 

First, you should go to “Career center” which is next to International office.

             

Second, you can get a “Student Employee Application” there.

Third, you write on application below this picture.

(You can choose what kinds of job you want like tutor, service, delivery, etc.)

Fourth, there are catalogs on the table at the career center,and you can find which department is available to get a job. 

Lastly, you directly submit the application to a department you want to work at. 

I’d likely to give you some tips.

You should submit application early. For example, if you want to work for fall semester, you’d better apply summer semester.

 

Actually, through this process, I could become a blogger.

To Be a Parkland Student !!

Here are some TIPs which are how to apply!!!

(Especially these tips are only for international student.)

First, you will go to international student services center. 

The room number is A184-6. You have to apply in here. 

There are really nice counselors. They can help you every things.

Second, you have to go to assessment center.

It is on the second floor. This place is to take a placement test. 

Placement test has three sections which are reading, listening and grammar. 

If you pass the test, there is a writing sample test. And if you want to take math classes, you need to take a math test, too.

In my experience, the grammar section is really tough. 

There is one special tip, if you have a TOEFL score above 60 or U of I PBT above 500, then you don't need to take a placement test. This is really great deal. 

Last, you have to go to advising center for register your classes. 

This is located on A251. It is near by the assessment center. 

There are really great advisors. KIND AWESOME WONDERFUL

When I went there first time, the advisor said many things about study, Parkland college, even Champaign life. It was really helpful for me.
