CST 349 & CST 300 Week 8 (Final)

 Part 1: Review Other Teams' final video projects

 

 Group 3: The Ottery's computing professional video

The topic is well covered and presentation is good overall. The intro was a bit quieter than the rest which made it difficult to understand. The research is well done and the video exhibits a lot of effort in editing. The video is engaging, but I would argue perhaps overstimulating in some respects as it has a lot of cuts and high motion scenes throughout. The imagery itself is relevant and gives credence to the topic. The teamwork is evident and the video is absolutely appropriate for an academic audience.

 

Group 4:  Ottermation's computing professional video

The topic is well covered and the presentation is easy to understand, but has the same issues with some of the voices being a little too quiet. The video is clean and easily understood without distracting viewers. The research is thorough and contains statistics and provides an understanding of the issue. The slides are structured well to keep viewers entertained and the video is high quality overall despite audio issues. The teamwork is evident and the video is appropriate for an academic audience.

 

Group 7: The Development Crew's computing professional video 

The topic is well covered and the introduction is thorough in catching viewers up on the topic. The presentation is clear and easy to understand. The research is thorough and the video is well produced with visual aid to explain the concepts. The video is interesting and engaging. The most jarring part of the video is that it switches between AI voiceover and human voiceover, suggesting that maybe the team was not all on the same page or some had issues with recording a part themselves. I think committing to one or the other would be smoother. The video is definitely appropriate for academic audiences.

 

Part 2: Keep Up With Your Learning Journal

Our final video project

 

I learned a lot from this class. Mostly what to expect from the program, the school, and how I should approach group work together with my team. I also learned a lot about the industry itself and what kinds of preparations I should begin making as I attempt to move towards a career in the Computer Science field. I got a good idea of how much time I need to dedicate per week and how I should structure my approach to each module. The resume and cover letter assignment was especially helpful as I had no idea how to format those myself. Overall, it was a good introductory term that gives me confidence in the rest of the program.

CST349 & CST300 Week 4

Part One: Set your educational goals  My goals over the next two years are to master the fundamentals of programming as well as network with my peers. The ETS Computer Science Test will be a good measure. I will aspire to score in the 95th percentile or higher. Part Two: Set your career goals   My long term goal would be to get into a big tech company in a big city. Working at Riot Games in LA would be a dream come true. I plan to continue networking, taking on internships, and training my skills to hopefully make it one day. In the meantime, I plan to look for more feasible jobs for someone still attending college or freshly graduated in the Computer Science field. Any job that challenges my abilities and allows me to live a comfortable daily life is acceptable.     Part Three: Take a wild guess of your percentile of the ETS Computer Science test Based on my current programming skills and the sample questions shown, I feel somewhat confident but clearly also in need...

  Part 1: Review and Reflect Learning Strategy In general, I have a lot of confidence in the strategies listed for test-taking. My weaknesses are related to my schedule and the way I study. My strengths with regards to learning strategies are in my meticulous note-taking, ability to parse the main idea in a passage, and surveying objective examinations so I can plan out how I want to tackle them. As for three areas where I could improve: Making and revisiting a schedule, Asking myself questions about the content as I learn it, and coming back to review or study. I often end up studying at bad times due to inflexibility with my own scheduling.  Part 2: Preview Time Management Skills Part 3: Project Management Basics Introduction to Project Management: Projects have a unique specified start and end date as well as a specific goal that determine its "scope." A project must relate to a business strategy. Factors that may call for a company to initiate a project: Market need, bu...

CST 349 and CST 300 - Week 1 Learning Journal

     The first week of my journey through the CSUMB Computer Science Online program has come to a close. It was hectic: our group was scrambling to find a meeting time and get everyone connected on Slack while some of us were still recovering from illnesses we got over the holidays.      In CST 349, we learned about the history and staff behind CSUMB as well as effective methods of learning online and being professional while operating in group environments. We also built the foundations for the rest of the program and hopefully our future careers with the setup of these blogs, LinkedIn profiles, and meeting all of our peers. AI was also a focus as we discussed the ChatGPT prompts we found most useful for educational purposes.      In CST 300, we reviewed the concepts behind academic writing and created outlines for a future industry analysis essay. I chose to focus my outline on software engineering and the company Riot Games. It's a place t...
