Assignment 2_Personal Goals & Positions

When it comes to my personal goals of this class, I think I want to learn most about project management. I love to organize activities and events, thus I participated in many organizations in college, for instance, international kite festival, University News, Voice of NCCU, even a baseball tournament. In this class, I want to polish my ability of integration from theory and systematic study. Then I want to learn the basic sense of webpage design. Since the Internet is becoming the most central platform of communication, I want to have the ability of design a complete website, off course, have the ability to analyze the already exist ones.

The third, I would like to learn the programming language (such as XML, HTML, XHTML…) after taking this course. Kathy had mentioned that we have to learn the language by ourselves, thus I think I can kind several useful tool book and online tutorials to practice those abilities. By the way, I also want to use the software of flash and database. It looks that I have to spend lots time in front of my computer.

As to the 2 most wanted positions and 2 less wanted positions, I think I can do well in editor and graphic designer, or maybe marketing executive. I was a director of a newspaper, teaching young journalists how to compose an article and modify their words, thus I think I might do well as an editor. Besides print media, I also learned film making and TV program producing in work. I learned how to use the graphic editing software like Photoshop and video editing software like Premiere. Thus I have essential sense to graphic designing. As to marketing executive, I have experience of participating in PR (Public Relation) team and financial management, thus I can also do well as that job.

What my weaknesses could be working in the position of HTML coder and system administrator/ junior programmer. As I mentioned above, I am not really familiar with the programming language and want to learn some more before I really execute.
