Over the last two weeks we asked Leaving Cert students (some from transition year also) how they are doing with the taster course here at CCT and what attracted them to the course. For some students, it is love at first site (web site, get it?), for other students it is a love that progresses over time. We are happy to facilitate both types of people here at CCT.
A few faces have become familiar here at CCT, as some of the students have returned to finish of some unfinished business from the Taster Courses last year. We are glad to see them back for more. To try and gauge what kind of student we are attracting for the Taster Course we asked, "What made you come try a Taster Course", here is what the students had to say...
"I did a taster course last year on game development and I want to learn how to make my own programs and learn other programming languages to help me to create games and software."
"I think I want to study Computer Science in college and I thought it would be good to try it out first to make sure."
"I've an interest in computers and web design but have never had the chance to develop that interest before."
Everyone has different reasons for trying a Taster Course here at CCT, but the most encouraging aspect of what the students have to say is that they are all here to try it out and see what it is all about. This inquisitive attitude is exactly what works well and helps students during their college learning experience.
