Educational Tour

Introduction:
Educational Tour gives us ideas likewise opportunities to visit prestigious agencies that may help us visualize what we are learning at school. This activity helps us develop our personality since social graces and etiquette are learned too by experience. Moreover, important to every student since it is a part of our learning process to acquire more knowledge through actual exposure to the different agencies. On September 3, 2014, the faculty of Computer Technology held an educational trip for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Technology students. The locations were Subic Bay. II Companies Profile

My reaction about the last educational tour was nice and amazing; all the details we need was explained carefully by the assigned speaker for us, except the speaker in the first company we had visited, they did not allowed us to take a selfie photos inside the company, and he was get angry to all of us. When it came to the food and hotel lodging, for me it was good. But what happened about our dinner in the last day? Well I don’t want to give my comment about that. The service of Bus Company was good and the tour guides was so friendly. V Recommendation:

I know that was my last tour in my entire college days, so I highly recommend for the chairman and adviser of BSCT; that they need to change the educational tour location for next year, try to explore the younger BSCT students in other location. And you need to get the companies related to our degree, so that they will relate their self on the topic that will discuss for the next tour.
