Part Two: Possible Capstone Ideas (30 minutes)

    One of the projects I liked was the EZDashboard application. I am interested in the backend development that went into the project, and I think something like this would be practical for other people to use. I was also very impressed by the how the data retrieved from the database was laid out. Regardless of what project I may do, I may try to organize my project similarly to the EZDashboard layout.

    I think my favorite project is the Mirrored Fantasy video game. As someone who enjoys playing video games, I would really like to make a multiplayer game that I could show to other people. I thought the idea of the game was creative, and I liked how this game was designed to be different from other 3 lane moba games. I don't know what goes into making video games, but I would be excited to take on a project like this.

    Lastly, one other project I would like to make is one like "Like a Camera". I don't know anything about using nice cameras, but this website looks like it help me out if I wanted to pick up this hobby. If I were to create a website like this, I could make it about something that my group mates or I were knowledgable about.  With a project like this, I feel like I could make something helpful in the classroom or in the workplace.


Part Three: Keep Up With Your Learning Journal (30 minutes)

    One of the big take aways from this unit was the use of generative AI in the ethics analysis assignment. I found this week's writing lab and lectures on AI particularly useful for gathering ideas and conducting research. I did not find generative AI too helpful in structuring my argument, but as I get better at writing prompts for AI, I may get better help from it for completing other writing tasks.

    As I did some extra research on my ethics analysis on developing technology for war, I felt like my views on the topic changed a little. I was already riding the fence as far as my support for it went, so any bit of new info or any shocking current event could sway my opinion at any time. This topic is complex, and I may add some more ideas to my personal argument that were not on my original outline.

CST - 300 Week 2

Part 1: Review and Reflect Learning Strategy     After reading "Effective Study Skills" by Dr. Kizlik, I learned I do a few things well in school as well as a few things not so well. First thing I think I do well is schedule my time. I believe I set my schedule well at the beginning of the week when assignments are posted. I will prioritize my schedule based off of the due date and difficulty of the assignment. Because of this, I can usually finish assignments ahead of time, and I can use extra time to study if needed. Another area I feel like I do well in is outlining my essays. I like to outline my papers before I write even if it is not required. I believe I can keep my ideas organized better, and I am able to pre-write my papers more effectively because of the outline. Lastly, when I study, I effectively use "reciting" to help me retain information. I think this small step has a significant impact on how effective my study time is. This is something I have done ...

CST 300 week 4

Part 1:      One of my main goals throughout this program is to understand the big picture when it comes to software development.  As of now, I don't have any experience outside of java and object oriented programming. I understand how to code and create logic, but I have yet to apply this knowledge to a project that would introduce me to areas of work that I should know as a software developer. I also hope to learn more of about engineering methodologies through some the group projects along the way. My previous classes for computer science have not required me to work with anybody else, so I hope to get better at this. Another area of concern for me right now is that I am only proficient in Java at the moment. As I take classes that require me to learn new languages, I am going to take additional time study these languages and strive to become proficient in them. Right now, I want to learn Python and C the most. Outside of school, I am working on a data structures ...

CST 300 week 3

Part 1:  https://www.academictips.org/acad/index.html      Something that I struggle with in school is note taking. One of the tips mentioned in the article that I thought was the most helpful is preparing for lectures. If students know what a lecture is about, they can prepare questions for their professor ahead of time. I think the most important benefit of this practice is that you can focus on taking notes on the material that you struggle with. This style of note taking would lead to less time spent writing and more time spent listening to the lecture. Additionally, this could help a student keep up in a lecture in a class where the professor teaches quickly. I feel like this kind of strategy has helped me get through harder classes in the past, and this is something I need to incorporate in routine more often. Part 2: What I learned this week      While working on the scenario based ethics assignment, I had the opportunity to review Kantian Deont...
