CST 300 Week 7

WELCOME TO WEEK 7 

Part One:

    The group has done a excellent good in collaborating and keeping the process running smoothly, especially thanks to Luis, who was able to get ahead and start the research. We have been using Discord to communicate and share our work for the team's Final Research Video Project. With the completion of our recordings, the next step is editing.  Soon, we will be able to integrate them into the presentation. Afterwards, we will add the finishing touches that are needed. 

Part Two:

    This week's lecture assignments were to review TedTalk videos and presentation resources. The TedTalk video I chose was "Why AI will Spark Exponential Economic Growth" by Cathie Wood. She focuses on the new innovations happening today. The innovations mentioned include Artificial Intelligence, Multiomic Sequencing, Robotics, Energy Storage, and Public Blockchains. Cathie explains that what used to happen in Moore's Law in two years is now happening in six months, implying numerous growth opportunities. For instance, autonomous taxi platforms will be a part of the growth for some of the mentioned platforms like robotics, energy storage, and AI. Cathie also mentions how opportunities like these will create significant revenue opportunities, potentially increasing profits and wages, or causing deflation. 


    The "Life After Death by Powerpoint" video offered valuable information with a touch of humor. While it contained numerous jokes, the main points were undeniably true. Overloading a PowerPoint presentation with too much information or oversimplifying it can negatively impact your presentation. It may cause you to lose your audience's attention or even bore them, depending on how you deliver it. I will certainly keep these ideas in mind as I collaborate with the team to finish our presentation. Additionally, the reading highlights the importance of visual aids and props but cautions against overdoing it. 

OLI: 

    This week, I learned how implement the use of active listening and assertive message in a role-playing activity. Each team member selected a role with a specific goal, and we kept track of how many times we used active listening and assertive messages. Each time someone used active listening, the team member would earn one point. If an assertion message was used, the team member would receive two points. If a team member used a 'you message,' then a point was deducted. At the end of the activity, we discussed the points earned by each person. In our team, everyone earned points, and no points were deducted. We did an excellent job, and in the end the team was able to achieve our goals and come up with a compromise.

WELCOME TO WEEK 1           Week 1 out 100 has begun! Im thrilled to share my journey while completing the CS Online program at California State University Monterey Bay. I can't wait to see what the next two years will bring.  https://www.prepbaseballreport.com/upload/school_logos/thumbs/334_thumb.png      This week I read a little bit of the history of CSUMB. It used to be an Army Base, Fort Ord, from the 50's to the 70's. Well known celebrities such as Clint Eastwood and Jimi Hendrix received training at Fort Ord.       I learned a few tips in order to succeed in online learning. The one that stood out the most was the importance of creating an organized schedule and planning study sessions. The online learning environment can make it easy for students to procrastinate. Therefore, engaging with others and logging into canvas at least three times a week should be helpful to maintain focus. Looking forward to next week!

It will help me in the future when I begin applying for jobs. Having everything documented will save me from trying to remember things and possibly leaving things out. This goal will also help me create my portfolio. Another career goal that I want to apply is to update my skills and begin networking. For instance, updating my skills by learning new programming languages, will be beneficial when being considered for interviews. Networking will also be beneficial, as job recruitment has changed from what it used to in the past.

       WELCOME TO WEEK 3 Work Styles & Conflict Styles      This week, I learned about the different work styles there are and conflict styles in action.  Each work style, whether it's about getting it right, getting it done, getting along, or getting appreciation, seeks something distinct. For instance, Get it Right wants the facts, to focus on details, and values being right. Get it Done on the other hand, focuses on deadlines and is not afraid of mistakes. They also focus on tasks being done and speeding up. Get Along is people oriented, they are aware of the needs of others, are social, direct, and want everyone satisfied. Last but not least is Get Appreciation. They tend to like to contribute, give positive feedback, and they like assertiveness.      I also learned about the different conflict styles, which are: Avoiding Forcing Accommodating Compromising Collaborating. https://www.red-thread.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/779/2016/08/Blog_Header_work-style.jpg?w=1770&h=
