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.

Week 4 Learning Journal

 Part One: Educational Goals The biggest goal I have is to graduate from the CSUMB CS Online Program at the end of 2025 and receive my diploma. I plan on attending the graduation ceremony in person and walking across the stage to receive it. I feel that continuing to envision the actual diploma will help to continue to inspire me to work towards that goal. Part Two: Career Goals One of my biggest career goals is to find employment as an iOS mobile app developer after graduation from the CSUMB CS Online program. I feel this is possible and in addition to the degree I plan on releasing at least three more apps to the app store before graduation.  Part Three: ETS Computer Science Test After reviewing the overview and the sample ETS test I feel that I would likely score in the 50th percentile. I am not too worried about my score because I know I can improve it by reviewing the topics listed in the test. Most of the information on the test I am familiar with but I know I will need to go bac

Week 2 Learning Journal Post

 Week 2 Learning Journal Post Part 1: Review and Reflect Learning Strategy     For Part 1 of this assignment I read an article about effective study skills and reflect on our top three and bottom three areas. The first item I feel that I am relatively good at is "Getting the Main Idea".  I am confident in my ability to understand the overall idea of a topic when studying. I find this helpful as it reminds me that each paragraph is trying to support the main idea. This helps me to connect the ideas in my head and internalize what I am studying. This ties into my second strength in "Extracting Important Details". I find that when I am able to understand the main idea, I am looking for the important details that support that main idea. The third strategy I feel confident in is "Answering Easy Questions First". I like to use this as a study strategy to help build momentum and feel more confident as I work through the assignment.      The first study strategy I

 Initial Commit. In this weeks module, we learned about many of the challenges and expectations of being in an online learning environment. I know the program provides great flexibility but at the same time requires a great deal of commitment to complete. I am excited to be in the program and look forward to completing it in two years time. As long as I follow the guidelines presented in the lecture material (schedule study time, log in to the class consistently, start early, etc.) I will be able to succeed in this online program. I also learned a bit about the history of CSUMB and how the CSUMB online program is structured. I like the way we will be able to take one class at a time for most semesters so that the work load is not overwhelming. Many of my classmates situation is similar to mine where we are working full time jobs while attending school. I am thankful that the CSUMB Online Computer Science degree program lets me still have time to meet my family commitments. This week we
