Part Two - Possible Capstone Ideas

     After reviewing possible capstone ideas, I think I'd like to make a video game similar to "A Bird's Song", by Brandon Pimentel, Anthony Broussard, Megan Aleman, Michelle Brown, and Charles Zieres. The only similarity will be the fact that it is a video game. This piques my interest since it is associated with graphics programming. I'd also be interested in something like "CueTracer," which is a tool that uses machine learning to search for and identify possible malicious lines of code. This particularly interests me because it implements machine learning within the project. A third one I saw, which was a website marketplace, gave me the idea to create something like a social media or a forum page.


    Part Three - What I've Learned This Week

    From this week, upon starting, I learned about recognizing conflicts and escalation of conflicts, about how other people may or may not recognize the escalation faster than another person, which itself might cause some chaos within the cohesion of the group. This week, I also learned to properly engineer prompts for using AI for the ethics writing lab. We had to write about the values, position, and claims of one stakeholder while using AI to write the second one. We would then have to specifically prompt the AI in certain ways to output good and useful information that can be revised and written into an essay.

Week 2: CST 300 Learning Journal

Part 1     When it comes to staying actively engaged in studying, my strongest areas are asking questions, reading the text, finding the main idea and supporting details, and reviewing my past notes. Asking questions enables the reader to better retain and remember certain details from what is read. Reviewing past notes ensures that I remember and reinforces my knowledge. A few areas I feel the need to work on are reciting, penmanship, and study habits. Being able to recite important information every so often will improve memory and build a better connection to details. More legible penmanship is important for organisation and readability. Having a scheduled study plan is essential to having consistent and functional study habits. Part 2 Part 3     An important concept I learned is the Work Breakdown Structure. The idea of this is to take a large project and split it into several smaller projects, which allows for an easier overview of the problems and solutions at ...

Week 3: CST 300 Learning Journal

 I picked tips for effective studying, particularly repetition. Repetition is an important key to studying and memorization. Reviewing past notes regularly helps cement ideas and information into the mind to be later retrieved using long-term memory. I've learned that the past week has placed an important emphasis on the ethics of artificial intelligence and its uses in society. A computer science major should know a plethora of things, starting from communicating properly and converting technical explanations into simpler and understandable descriptions. Knowing languages and knowing how to learn programming languages are different concepts, and knowing how to learn is important because of the rapid evolution of programming languages. According to the Code of Integrity, one should not submit work that is not their own, share solutions, and must be as specific as possible when describing the sort of help you had while completing said task.
