CST 363 Week 1

 

WELCOME TO WEEK 1

Learning Journal - Relational Databases: 

This week, I learned that although there are similarities between spreadsheets and database tables, there are important differences. Relational databases have schemas to follow, such as the datatype for each column. It is important to note that only one value can be held.
I also believe that investing time in learning and utilizing databases provides many benefits. They allow for the sharing of data. Even though data is shared, users will see different data, which enforces security. Databases also allow for physical data independence, which is the ability to modify the file format without changing the existing application.
In this course, my goal is to enhance my skills in utilizing databases to provide comprehensive support and solutions across various aspects of data management and analytics in my future career. I also aim to improve my understanding of designing efficient database schemas.

       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!
