This week marked the start of a new class in my CSUMB journey. The class is CST 370 Design and Analysis of Algorithms. The first week got us introduced to the definition of an algorithm and how we use algorithms to solve problems. I do feel that the material is more challenging than some of the other classes I have previously taken and so intend to spend more time learning the concepts in this class. One of the aspects I found interesting in this class is the inclusion of a few puzzles that involved determining an algorithm that solves the given problem. I enjoy trying to solve them because they are like brain teasers that force me to think of all the possible outcomes. It can be frustrating at times, but it is also very satisfying if I am able to solve them. I will continue working and reviewing the concepts presented this week as they are the foundation for future class concepts.
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 ...
