Attention! I have brand new unopened books for CS 202,
Cobol Programming. I registered for the course, but dropped in order to focus
on the Systems Programming Track. Contact me at J-Walker1@neiu.edu to buy them.

Attention!: I highly recommend to all Computer
Science students to pursue a Computer Science internship as soon as they
become or even realize that they wish to become Computer Science students.
Students should do so even in the event that the internship would be one of
the variety that alternates semesters of school work with semesters out of
school being employed full-time in the internship. Even if the internship
doesn’t pay a salary, it could be the difference between working in the
Information Technology (IT) industry and not working in IT upon graduation.
Employers in today’s IT workplace want experience. It is extremely
difficult to find an IT job without experience. An IT internship would greatly
improve a student’s employability upon graduation if that student doesn’t
already have IT work experience. |
I started studying at NEIU in January of 2002. I declared
the Computer Science Major. Within the Computer Science Major, I declared the
Systems Programming Track. I believe it was referred to in the NEIU catalog as
“Emphasis II” and/or “Track II”. This track is no longer offered to new
Computer Science students at NEIU. I believe that the school offers a program
that resembles it in a current form known as the “Technical Programming”
degree.
My interests lie in the varied disciplines of Metrology,
foreign language study and instruction, and TESL, which is basically the teaching
of English as a foreign language. My intention is to apply my Computer Science
degree to one of more of these disciplines in a professional capacity someday.

Parenthesized text above consists of comments giving a
brief description of course content, purview, etc.
Current Target: Master
of Management Information Systems (MMIS) at Georgia
College & State University beginning Summer or Fall 2005
I have a mentor in the IT industry who has been helping
me increase my knowledge of Computer Science and Information Technology.
My Mentor: Bill
Slater
Thanks Bill!
