WELCOME INTRODUCTION VIDEO

Hello, my name is Temi, and I will be your instructor for this course. I have certifications from the three levels of BCS Higher Education Qualification and have been teaching Information Systems for more than 2 years.

Please note, I may not always be able to answer your questions immediately they are posted on the class group, but I’ll do the best I can to answer your questions during class time, or if I don’t have an immediate answer, I would research and get back to you as soon as I can.

What to expect from me: 

We would have classes via Zoom and Telegram each week. At the end of each class, the Zoom class recordings and class resources will be sent across to you, and I would notify you on where to download them. Most of the class notes will be from textbooks and other relevant sources. 

 

What I expect from Students: 

1. Attend and participate in class, and if you’re unable to attend, please make out time to read through what was done for that day so we can all be on the same page.

2. You are expected to read notes and resources given. 

3.Attempt assignments given \ and submit them if need be. 

The nature of this course and BCS exams in general are quite broad. It requires a lot of dedication and discipline. To help with studying, I would advise skimming through past questions before you start in-depth studying. That would help to focus on areas of concentration as we go along. 

Most of the assignments will be from past questions, so you can have the chance to research on your own, and whilst doing that, you’re also preparing yourself for the kind of questions you’ll meet in the exam.

Welcome to Information Systems, and I look forward to seeing you in class!
