Part 2 - Possible Capstone Ideas

For the capstone project at the end of the CSUMB CS Program, I haven’t given it too much thought as of yet, so apologies for the ideas being a bit vague. However, I think it may be interesting to tackle something similar to software engineering, or even create a startup on a project. I want to try and do something that is similar to what I want to do in the future, which is to be a part of game development, but also respect my teammates interest in their future, so it may not even happen. So with that in mind, I would like to try and make a small indie game, game engine, or something similar, if there is enough time of course. Another project I would like to work on is a web application that focuses on helping users complete a set of goals in creating a game such as having a story, game genre, game design, prototyping, etc. For a third possible project, maybe create an application or web page that can allow users to share game statistics with their friends such as what types of games they like, how they perform on each game, what games they have in common with each other, what achievements they have across platforms, etc.

Part 3 - Other Weekly Topics

This week's module for the class, was lighter than usual when it comes to submitting assignments. However, it did involve a lot of thought for our future as computer scientists. This week's lecture assignments had our teams come together and decide what we wanted to do for our final video-project as well as vote for other teams' lists of video-projects. We also continued our OLI readings which was about recognizing conflicts with team members and the different approaches to conflict resolution. For the writing lab, we continued working on our ethics essays and added onto what can be found in arguments such as logical fallacies. To practice, there was a discussion in which we pointed out where we have heard or seen these fallacies. This would act as a warmup to spot logical fallacies when researching different arguments on our essays which will bolster the credibility of the final draft.

CST 300 - Module 4

Part 1 - Educational Goals This week's lecture readings in class have to do with setting goals. There are a few different types of goals to consider such as career, financial, family, artistic, attitude, physical, and public service. However, for now let's go over my educational goals. Some things I would particularly like to learn more about are software design and software engineering. I want to be able to create more professional applications to be an important member of any team I may join in the work field. To be more general, I would like to pass all of my classes with a grade higher than a C as I think they all are useful to know, especially for some of the things I want to do in the far future. Part 2 - Career Goals Another type of goal I should talk about is my career goal. Overall, I would like to have enough experience in working with the game development industry. There are a few levels to this goal, one is I would like to work with a company that develops games suc

Part 1 - Review and Reflect Learning Strategy After reading a paper on effective study skills by Dr. Bob Kizlik, I have come to realize there are more aspects of studying than I realized, and I do follow a large amount of them. However, there are also some aspects in which I struggle with that I have noticed, especially recently when it comes to reading. Although, to save your time, I will talk about the top 3 aspects I believe I am good at, and the top 3 I am bad at. One thing I am good at is taking notes. Especially in the digital age we are in, there are many ways to take notes, for me I separate my notes by module and assignment using google docs. Another is getting the main idea in a reading, also allowing me to take notes to reflect on later, instead of re-reading an entire segment of an essay or book. Finally, I feel I am also adept at surveying, to get an idea of what I'm going to study, before I actually study. However, some things I need to work on is to actually read bec

CST 300 - Module 3

Hello Everyone, Part 1 Last week I mentioned the areas in studying I need to work on such as paying attention to what I am reading, and to stick to a schedule as I often lose focus and prolong assignments. So, after visiting AcademicTips.org, I took some notes on concentration. Some things I am trying to do differently is to further avoid any distractions and to keep focus on my studies by taking breaks less often but do something that needs to be done other than just daydreaming, such as using the time to eat. Part 2 This week’s class module covered quite a bit of material. The readings covered topics such as the Code of Integrity for CSUMB CS Online, going over the rules of what should and should not be done when submitting any work or assisting/receiving assistance. Code of Ethics, as one may expect, be honest, avoid harm, maintain high standards, be professional, and many more aspects of what it is to be ethical in one’s work. This module puts an emphasis on ethics as it is the ma
