Every student needs the right tools and equipment to help them with their subject requirements. So, here’s a checklist of tools that I think will help you survive these requirements especially in your Devcom classes.
☑ Notebook & Pen. From gathering data to jotting down lecture notes, a notebook and a pen are the first item our checklist. These are the most basic items for a devcom student. It’s convenient for a student to have a notebook to keep all information like notes and deadlines organized. In that way, you won’t forget all the announcements and deadlines and cram your requirements.
☑ Laptop. A laptop is the second item for devcom students in our checklist. Since devcom students are exposed to activities which require word processing, multimedia presentations, photo, video and audio editing and online submissions, it’s convenient to have your own laptop with you. Although smartphones today have the same uses, having a laptop is more advantageous since it’s easier to multitask.
☑ Phones + Earphones. A phone is the third item on our checklist. Just like your laptops and personal computers, phones are helpful for various activities. Today, smart phones have features that includes apps for instantaneous word processing and note taking, audio recording, photo and video editing and organizing your schedules. It’s basically an all-in-one tool which makes it more convenient for students. Earphones are also a must have which you can use in both your phone and your laptop. It’s useful in case there is a need to transcribe interviews. If you also love to listen to music while you work, then earphones is a need.
☑ Storage Devices. Your storage devices such as flash drives or hard drives are the fourth must item on our checklist. For students like me who doesn’t own a printer in my dormitory, a flash drive or any other storage device is essential. It will save you a lot of time whenever you need to print requirements in compuer shops. Likewise, these storage devices are also helpful whenever you need to transfer files and there’s no wifi.
☑ Power banks. Since phones will be used most of the time, it would be a good idea to invest for the last item in our checklist which is a power bank. In that way, you won’t worry that much with your battery. You’re prepared in case you’ll be needing to charge your phone.
