Life at the University of Glamorgan

Life at the Glamorgan University

After I finished my high school I was thinking to complete my study in the UK but before I decided to came here I was shearing ideas with my family and friends and the  support me to complete my education in the UK. Moreover, the side to me this is your future and you have to build a good life for yourself and you can get a good job. However, the fires day for me in university of Glamorgan was 26-09-2012 it was the most excited day for me and I was happy because I will start me ne life in the University. Moreover, I' m studying International Foundation Course and this Couse is really helpful for the international students.

My Subject

My subject

 

The subject which I chose is computer security. This subject is  a very good subject to learn, and it will be easy to get job because this subject is very important for a lot of places, for example, companies, factories, police and any part of government. However, before I chose this subject I had read about it and I share ideas with my parents. Therefore, when I went to the university I asked friends of me about the subject and they stated it is very interesting and perfect subject you have chosen. However, my degree course aims to teach students how to deal with hacking, networks, program and website.   According to gocsi.com (2011) “It contains details about respondents’ security programs, including budgeting, policies implemented, tools used, satisfaction with security tools and budgets, degree of outsourcing, use of metrics and effects of compliance requirements.”

The presentation

My feedback

I have done the presentation with Gaby and the class mate. However, I think it was not bad and not very good. Moreover, the class Meta noticed that I’m moving to the opposite place and they side you have to look every were the students set in the class. Mitchell .O (2009) “Eye connection means spending time with each person so that person feels like you’re just talking to them”.  Therefore, I had stopped in one of the points because I want to remember but if it will happen again I have to write notes in small paper or cart. However, I will try to fix these problems as much as I can.

 

Gaby’s feedback

Gaby noticed that I had but introduction and the man body I introduce myself for the students who are in the class. LabSpace (2013) stated that the main body is to tell the audience what will happen in this presentation. However, Gaby noticed some prowler and singular mistakes and I had pot capital litters in the place wold not needs. Also, I had bot the references were I had the pictures and the information and I had concluded of the presentation.

Academic culture in the UK

(Portfolio 2013)



Academic culture in the UK

When I arrived the first day at the University of Glamorgan, it was mid-September and it was enjoyable to start the first day in the academic culture. Moreover, I was excited to be part of the academic culture and it was challenging for me to pass the course and start the New Year. However, it was difficult in the beginning but then I felt more comfortable as time went by. The sock was to me to write long essays, but with practice I found it interesting to work on it. Also, the language was difficult for the international students because their language extremely different and their writing litters are different. University of East Anglia (2012) "As a student from a country with many similarities to England, including having English as the first language, you may think that the academic systems are also very similar”. Moreover, the presentations were difficult for me because before I started in this academic culture I had never done it.

The culture in the UK

         

My first day in the UK was in June 2012 and the weather was sunny and pleasant. However, when the winter started, I found it very cold. Also, the food was extremely different than UAE's, food. In the UK, their traditional food is fish and chips and potatoes. Moreover, the British have special day for cooking and eating pancakes and they call it Pancake Day. It was interesting for me because it was the first time I ate pancakes. Lemm (2013) "The earliest records of pancakes and pancake tossing appeared in the fifteenth century when the pancakes were a little thicker than the modern pancake; they would also often have added spices for a little decadence". Another aspect I like was that I now walk everywhere instead of driving. I see enjoyable views and many people are going to their jobs and the students are walking.

The newspapers

	The Guardian	The Sun
Language	In the guardian the vocabularies are more formal. Assert, construct, freedom, revolutionaries.	In the Sun the vocabularies are informal. Unannounced, potential, deliver, Describing.
Reporter’s viewpoint	The guardian is more objective and very clear to understand but there are words are difficult to understand it.	The Sun is objective but there are a lot of word is not formal and I think it is easy to understand.
Content details	In the guardian there are more details.	In the Sun there are not enough details.
Reference used in article	The Guardian Is subjective newspaper because of the information’s is more than the Sun. Cameron was greeted by jostling crowds and Libyans taking photos of him as he discussed the fate of the revolution just 100 yards from Gaddafi's old palace.	The Sun is not accurate newspaper and they have not enough information.
Visual images	In guardian there are 3 pictures, and the pictures are very clear. In the first picture Cameron with the people and in the second picture Cameron with Libya's interior minister and in the third picture Cameron also speck to the police army.	In the Sun there are 4 pictures ,in the first picture Cameron speak to the people in the street , and the second picture Cameron meets with Libya's Interior Minister Ashour Shuail in Tripoli, in the third picture Western officials fear North Africa is becoming increasingly unstable, in the last one Cameron speak to the police and army.
