Spring 09 Week 2

I know I missed week 1 but there is a-lot more going on in these Masters classes than I expected and it is taking me a little time to get situated. What I am going to do is just breakdown what I've done for each class over the past two weeks. It's actually not that bad but there is a-lot of reading, and writing. Don't get me wrong I can read (LOL) but as you can tell from my blogs I am not a strong writer but hopefully that will change the more I do it. Well let's begin.

Leadership and Team Building

Day 1 was pretty short, all we did was go over the syllabus so we would have a good idea of what to expect. I can actually say I am happy about that. I really wasn't prepared to stay till 10pm yet. Oh yes, it is a 7pm - 10pm class.

Day 2 was a full class period. We went over our reading assignments which were assigned in class 1. I will make sure to add the books later I don't recall them right now. We had a total of three chapters to read. Once we were done with the power points and lecture; we were divided into our groups. I have never been a big fan of group work in school because not everyone pulls their own weight. I am hoping this is different in my Master's program because I have a-lot more team building type classes to go.

Introduction to Information Systems Security

Will update in a few. brb

The Beginning

Today starts the first day of my master's program. My goal is to receive a dual masters; Master of Science (M.S.) in Technology Project Management - Information Systems Security (TPM-ISS) and Master of Business Administration. The program is still being established with a completion date of Fall 2009, but I do have the option to take the needed classes while it is in progress.

This blog was created at the request of one of my good friends. This will allow him to keep track of my progress, help me by commenting on my post. Writing is a weak point for me so this will help me become better along with any comments anyone has to make if that happens. This will also help him gain some knowledge as I learn new things.

Starting off my first two classes will be TEPM 6302: Leadership and Team Building and ITEC 5321: Introduction to Information Systems Security. My TEPM 6302 is out of order, but due to TEPM 6301 being full i got approval to take them out of order. Right now I will be focusing on the Master of Science portion of my dual degree until the program is fully established and then I will start the MBA portion.

So I guess this is it for now. I will take the time to add my profile information so you know a little about me.
