  Part 1: Review Other Teams' final video projects  Video 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUv2vh-8NFg 1. is the topic well covered?  Yes the topic is well covered. As a person who have no idea or knowledge about the topic, the video is well informative.  2. is the presentation clear? The presentation is clear, the text are easy to read and not convoluted and their voices was clear and understandable.  3. how is the quality of the research? The quality of research is  good enough for a person who has background knowledge in CS but unfamiliar with the topic being talked about. The video explain the topic clearly using the technical terms necessary in CS field. 4. how is the quality of the video production? The video production is clear. It is not fast and not slow just enough speed for readers to read the text and understand what the speaker is saying. There were some part that where the speaker was speaking low but it is nothing critical. 5. is the vi...

  Part One     For our final research video project planning we collaborated through meetings and chats in slack. All the team members in our group are active and constantly giving ideas on how to tackle some process. We also shares some resources or websites where we get information for our research so our sources are almost similar. We all end up using Adobe Express for short video and will do PowerPoint presentation for the long video. For adobe express we are able to work on the project asynchronously in order to avoid blockers and we can focus on our sections. Overall the plan was moving on reasonable space considering we are using a new technology we haven't use before. I wouldn't say the process was smooth but it wasn't rough either. I believe this kind of collaborative projects will have some minor issues since each individual person has their own strength and weakness. It doesn't help that we own have different availability and will have to do our best to commu...

  Week 6   Part 1: Help Your Teammates to Develop Capstone Ideas   For this week meeting we had to divide the time meeting to discussing creating the video project and  talking about capstone ideas. We briefly discuss some capstone ideas  but the one that caught our attention the most was a machine learning project. It was about a product that help or assist physicians with diagnosing brain cancer using trained machine vision. Since machine learning or AI is a big topic right now in the software industry, we like the idea of creating a similar project. A project that can impact some real world industry and applying machine learning ideas and apply it. Not only our product has the potential to contribute in society but it will also help us understand and learn more how to create an AI product and how machine learning works in general.   Part 2: Keep Up With Your Learning Journal     This week I learn how to create a website using weebly. It is a s...

 Week 5   Part One: Support and Comment on Teammates' Goals Comment 1: https://edlcsonline.blogspot.com/2025/09/week-4-learning-journal-education-goals.html      Comment 2: https://alexandercsumb.blogspot.com/2025/09/my-educational-goal-in-cs-program-my.html?sc=1759716690276#c3901700382400993030     Part Two: Possible Capstone Ideas (30 minutes) These lists are subject to change but this is roughly what I imagine doing as of now.   CAD software or 3D Design software:  I currently work on projects that develops software to design dental products. 3D design software has always been my passion but for my software it would focus more on general objects that can be printed. It will probably be similar as Blender. I will try to make it as user friendly as possible. This project can help me learn more about graphics and optimization. The only thing that is making me hesitate to do this for future capstone project is the time. But this is definitely ...

  Part One: My Educational Goals My educational goal for  CS program is to have a strong foundation in computer science theory and practical skills. I should be able to design and develop software programs and computational solutions. Have a more effective problem-solving skills and be able to adapt easily in new and emerging technologies. Attaining my Bachelor Degree in Computer Science is also a goal of mine but I think it is enough. My the actual goal is to pass all the classes with clear understanding of what was taught and be able to retain it and apply some skills that I learn in the future. This goal of mine is a long term and far from being achieved. It will require discipline, consistency and patience. The short term goal that I have is to pass both CS 349 and CS 300. I believe we are halfway for this two courses and I should be able to achieve it soon as long as I keep doing my work and keep my grades up. Part Two: My Career Goal   My career goal as of right now...

Week covers some techniques on how for study. One of the techniques I need to improve on is memory. I learned this week that there were 3 styles when it comes to memory techniques. Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic learners. Personally I've been doing and using Kinaesthetic style without knowing about it. It is a style where I learn effectively through practice and explicit work. I tend to forget the topics I learn within a week or two and it is hard to retain certain knowledge when I do the visual and auditory style. This is the reason why I must improve this memory study techniques. Through Kinaesthetic style I can easily memorize or retain knowledge especially if it became a habit. For example when I was first learning how to program, I struggle writing loops in C++ class. But through writing for loops and while loops almost everyday, from writing on paper or typing on keyboard, it became a routine for me and innately builtin to my brain on how they need to be written. Anot...

     Module 2 lectures focuses on the present condition of business and company. I learned a lot starting from the the state of software industry. Innovation itself moves fast in today's age, and in order to keep up with it, people has to learn to adapt quickly as well. I also learn about different methodologies that company uses for software development. I was already aware of the two present method which are  agile  and  devops  as my current company uses this method but I learned about the continuous method . Essentially there were methods that was used in the pass which are Waterfall, Capability Maturity Model, and Rational Unified Process . I also learn more about project management. I learn that project management is mainly about planning, organizing and managing resources to achieve the goals that the group is trying to attain. Different tools and techniques on project management such as managing constrains that hinders in project development su...
