CST 338 Week 7/8

 

WELCOME TO WEEK 7

Journal: 

    This week has certainly made me look back at all the things I learned in this course. The challenges I faced and breakthroughs as well. I think back on the assignment "Jotto" and remember the difficulty I had because I was new to Java. With the things I learned, I feel there would be different approaches I could try. When I worked on "Markov," I felt much more confident and had less difficulty completing that assignment. It felt really good passing all the unit tests and having the correct output. Another assignment where I felt really good was Project 1, although there were instances where I had trouble, I was able to successfully accomplish the goal. I feel I understand access modifiers and their purpose compared to the beginning. I also feel more comfortable, as the weeks have passed, working with Room Database. At the beginning of the project, I was worried and confused, but the more I practiced, the more ideas that would pop into my head that became helpful for Project 2.

Project 2: 
    

This week, Edward and I have focused on fine-tuning the project and making sure everything is completed as required. After figuring out the initial part, it was much easier completing the rest of the activities. We are still finding things we can improve on, and so far, we have been able to do so successfully. I hope in the future we can further improve the application and maybe even present it as a capstone idea.

  WELCOME TO WEEK 4 Educational & Career Goals This I learned that it is essential to use these 7 Career Goals in order to succeed:  Self-Assessment Networking Tracking Accomplishments Know Your Worth  Update Your Skills Negotiate Allow for Downtime https://cdn.shortpixel.ai/spai/w_1052+q_lossy+ret_img+to_webp/tipsforlawyers.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Goal-setting-2048x1152.jpg      Tracking accomplishments is one goal that I want to apply to my career. 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=

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!
