I am a student, studying at national polytechnic university institute bamenda. Studying computer science and networks. I cannot live without the internet because first as a student, I need to carry out research more often and the internet is the main source where I can get material. Search engines like google and Wikipedia have been helpful to me as a student because when ever I need information especially when I do not understand a particular topic which was taught in class, these search engines helps to breakdown the lesson in a more simpler and understandable way.
The internet also helps me as a student for communication and sharing of information. I have had countless moments whereby we had classes online through WhatsApp forums due to the crises in bamenda. Thanks to the availability of the internet, I could still attend lectures while I’m in the comfort of my home. Lectures were being delivered though voice recordings and notes were delivered in pdf (portable document format). This system is way more easier, consumes less time and less stressful rather than the notes being dictated for it to be copied down.
The internet has helped me in getting updates and information faster. Eventhough news papers are reliable for transmission of information and reports, it is a slow system which most at times gets to those who need it a little bit late. Thanks to the internet which helps me as a student to get informations, reports and updates just few minutes after it has been published or made public.
Personally as a student, the internet has helped me to complete some of my assignments and reports. I use the internet for the collection of data for my presentations, edification and completion of my assignments. There are all kinds of information on the internet which students can easily get help from them.
Students use the internet for practice. As a computer science and network student, I used the internet for my practice and perfection. I use the internet the to learn the different languages related to computer . An example of a site I use to practice web development is https://www.w3schools.com/ .
