CST 300 week 6

 Part 1: Help Your Teammates to Develop Capstone Ideas

    This week, my group mates and I discussed two possible ideas for capstone projects at the end of this course. The first idea was to develop a 2D platform game. This idea is personally my favorite. Even if this product is not chosen by the group, I have an interest in video games, and this may be a project I work on in my personal time. I may also look into making mods for the open sandbox video game Minecraft Java as well in the future. The second idea discussed were projects that use AI. A project we thought about was to create a program to transcribe handwriting. We believe that this type of program would be practical for many people to use across a variety of occupations. These are just some of the first ideas that came to mind, so we may go in a different direction with our project later on.

 

Part 2: Keep Up With Your Learning Journal

    I felt much more comfortable this week using AI to help me construct my stakeholder argument. It helped me complete the assignment faster and it provided me some potential sources for the essay itself. 

    The most important material I read this week was the guide on building a resume. The last time I received instruction on writing a resume was years ago, and I needed to relearn how to write one. I also think what employers are looking for on resumes today is different from when I first learned how to write a resume, so much of this information seemed new to me. I am currently working on applying for internships next summer, and this week's lecture material will be valuable to me during this process.

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...
