Reflect on the connection between knowledge or concepts from these courses and how those have been, or could be, applied in the work place (200-250 words per course reflection. If you were a full time student and took 2 courses, you should write a total of 400-500 words).

Students should;

• Be able to apply knowledge and theory gained in their courses of study within current workplace or in their future employment.
• Be able demonstrate the application of theory to workplace in written form.
• Be able to identify the benefits of incorporating real-world experience into an academic program.

Below are the courses and syllabus

Access  Control:
