During the pathways program, I consider all the courses regardless to the major or the pathways courses are important since I found that all courses have each different critical point that prepares my development as a graduate student.
According to the pathway’s courses, especially the EAP 506 and 508, the important points that I have learned through such courses are the way of finding the important articles which supports our research in the future. Other than that, I have learned how to find the important information in each article I have found in order to attain the useful techniques that will support the research I wanted to do. Besides that, the INYO 501 and INYO 502 helps me in different way to learn some important things. For instance, I obtained some information about the association which are exist on campus that can help me to success my master study. Furthermore, these courses help me to matriculate on the upcoming semester. It guides me how to create a good resume which is useful for my future career. Also, it helps me to create a good personal statement in order to express our eagerness to study master’s degree in data analytics.
All the major courses I have taken so far are also important for my development as a graduate student. Some of those courses help me to understand the fundamentals of statistic which are useful for me prior to taking the advance courses at the upcoming semester. It also prepares me with technical knowledge such as language programing and tools that will be useful not only for the courses in the next semester; but also, can support my job in the future to do the advance analysis in Big Data.
