CST 300 Learning Journal

Part One: Steven, Jeremy and I all met over a zoom call. Jeremy took upon the task of outlining how we should do our project, since he is the most knowledgeable in this field - Data modeling and prediction. We chose the parts we wanted to discuss. We are still deciding what tool to use for the video edit. I will be taking upon the task of creating the video. But we will use powerpoint to show the project. My teammates are very amicable and easy to work with. We have been open in our discussions and communications so it has not been difficult in that way. So far we are not facing any other such difficulties. But Part Two: From the ted talks, it was interesting to learn about cryptography. I had some prior knowledge about it. But it is a cool topic for sure.

  Part 1: Help Your Teammates to Develop Capstone Ideas I liked Jeremy's capstone ideas about travel planning. His idea involved asking users for information about previous trips including budget and reasons why they liked the trip. The project would then generate destinations that may be of  I liked Stevens idea about the grocery cost calculator which lets a user estimate grocery costs before reaching the counter and can help a person estimate/stay within their budget.   Part 2: Keep Up With Your Learning Journal This week was dedicated to working on our resume and cover letter in addition to our ethics essay. I kept my resume simple but well detailed to showcase my work. I am still struggling to finish my work. But i should be done soon hopefully.

  Part One .          Part Two I particularly loved the myplannergarden app. Another app which i liked was the juryup app.   Part Three This week was beneficial as it got my thinking about internship opportunities. This goes hand in hand with the previous weeks learnings as i worked on schedule maintenance. It is important to find the time to apply for internships and also work on additional skills which i may want to focus on beyond this course.  We thought of our final projects. It was fun finding ideas for the video project. Im excited to see what my team and I end up creating. I particularly enjoyed finding a logical fallacy example. I realized it is something that is seen in advertisements often. Overall the week has been great!
