Week one log UPC0004

The lecture:
The first lecture of the university preparation course, was mainly an introduction to university life, computing, rules and regulations about plagiarism, late assignments, what to do if we need extensions on assignments and our duties and expectations as students at the university I found this lecture beneficial to me as it introduced me into university life, and made me aware of what was expected of me in all areas, as an undergraduate at ECU.


The tutorial:
The first Tutorial of my university preparation course gave me a better understanding and put my mind at ease about any questions or doubts i once had in my head, which inhabited me to perform or enjoy this learning experience to my full potential.
I learnt all of the essential information to achieve having a smooth and inspirational learning experience at the campus, and where to go or what to do if i need any help with any general queries.
In this particular tutorial, i also became aware of the standards of work to be expected, what guidelines i would have to meet to pass the course, and the learning outcomes of the course, which i found very helpful, so i could already plan for the future, to set goals, and prioritise my time effectively.

1.Reading: Welcome to PC Lube and Tune

The first reading of week one was basically a website that discussed the basic essentials from your PC online.
The website contained many subheadings that can be found and brought up on the Internet, and under each sub heading was a definition of what the term meant, so this website was basically like a dictionary for the Internet.

2.Reading: How stuff works

Similar to the previous website, this one offers information and definitions for how your PC works, but in much more detail and with even more subheadings.
The website offers such information as, Hardware basics, networking, memory, other hardware, power supplies, and also definitions for anything from what a hard disk is, to what a motherboard is.
The website is aimed at teaching us about using our PCs, the definitions of some of the lingo used in relation to computers, their definitions, and how to properly use these functions on our own PCs.
