Week 8 Learning Journal


Part One: Review of Other Teams Video Projects

AR/VR in Education and Healthcare

The first video I reviewed was produced by the Otter Devs and covered the topic of AR/VR education in healthcare. The topic was very interesting and the team did a good job explaining the differences between AR and VR. The presentation was clear with good audio and excellent visuals. The quality of research was excellent and the presenters kept the video interesting. Teamwork was very apparent in their presentation and each team member did their part presenting the various elements of their chosen topic. I think this presentation is very appropriate for the computer science major audience and deals with many of the topics and issues that have relevance to the chosen audience. 

Brain-Computer Interfaces

The second video I viewed was the brain-computer interfaces. I found this topic really interesting and feel that the Gigabit Goon Squad did an excellent job with their presentation. I found it very helpful that the team spent some time in the presentation clarifying and defining what the brain-computer interface consists of. The research was very well conducted and the information presented was done so in an interesting and engaging way. From the presentation it appears that each team member made a significant contribution to the final product. This presentation was appropriate for the computer science audience as the topic is very applicable to what individuals working in the computer science industry may be working with in the future.

The Eternal Human

The third video I watched was produced by Super Four Web Solutions. I really liked the topic they chose because it has a wide applicability and could affect industries beyond just computer science. The research conducted was very well done and the subject material was presented in an engaging and entertaining way. The quality of video was also excellent with clean audio and clear visuals. Each team member contributed to the project as was evident in each team member taking on a seperate section. I thought this video very appropriate for the audience as it takes the ideas and applications of computer science and expands them to other related fields including the humanities and social sciences.

Part Two: Learning Journal Update

Generative AI in Game Development 

I have learned a great deal in the CST 300 ProSeminar Class. I learned how to write different types of research papers including an industry analysis and ethical argument. The video project was the first real test of our teamwork abilities and it seemed to work fine. I think with continuous communication and a clear establishment of timelines and tasking will help us to continue to improve.

CST311 Week 6 Journal

 This week, we developed a deeper understanding of the network control plane and explored routing algorithms such as Dijkstra and Bellman-Ford, focusing on how they determine the most efficient paths for data transfer. We also learned about the SDN control plane, which allows for dynamic network management and routing. In addition to the theory learned this week, we conducted a network lab exploring the use of a basic SDN controller using Mininet and Wireshark. We looked at how Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), can be used for network diagnostics, particularly for network troubleshooting with tools like ping and traceroute.

CST335 Week 7 Journal Entry

 This week I learned about input/output (I/O) devices and their interactions with the operating system (OS). Two types of devices I learned about were block and character devices. Block devices, like hard drives and SSDs, store data in fixed-size blocks and allow random access, making them ideal for large data transfers. Character devices, such as keyboards and mice, handle data streams one character at a time, supporting sequential access. The OS play a crucial role in managing these devices through device drivers that provide a standard interface to interact with the hardware. Performance characteristics of hard drives, such as seek time, rotational latency, and transfer rates, are pivotal in determining overall system efficiency. By calculating transfer rates for different workloads, I learned how disk access patterns significantly impact performance. Additionally, understanding RAID levels provided insights into how redundancy and striping enhance data reliability and performan...

Leetcode Practice Reflection 1.Two Sum

LeetCode Practice Reflection - 1. Two Sum Date:   19MAY25 What I Worked on Today: Practiced doing LeetCode Problem 1.Two Sum. What I Learned: - How to use the enumerate() function - How to optimize possible solutions after considering brute force methods - How to declare a new dictionary (key value pair) Code Snippet I Wrote or Studied: class Solution(object): def twoSum(self, nums, target): seen = {} for i, num in enumerate(nums): compliement = target - num if compliment in seen: return [seen[compliment], i] seen[num] = i In My Own Words: This function takes in a list of numbers and will return the index of the two numbers that add up to the provided target value. The way this program works is that it creates a dictionary called "seen". It will then iterate through the list of numbers and use the enumerate function to keep track of the index and the value of the specific item in the provided list. The for loop will calculate the compliment numbe...
