CST 349 - Week 3 Learning Journal

 Part 1: Time Management and Study Techniques 

One of the topics that I need to improve on is procrastination. The URL that was provided (https://www.academictips.org/acad/index.html). The time management tips emphasized the importances of breaking tasks into smaller, tackling manageable parts and using a clear daily schedule to stay on track. Avoiding procrastination is less about motivation and more about building consistent habits and holding oneself accountable 

Part 2: Weekly Readings and Material on Ethics

This week's materials on ethics enhanced my understanding that integrity is about following rules but also about the choices we as individuals make and making sure that our choices align with honesty and respect. Ethical behavior builds on trust in every professional, social and personal setting. Applying ethical principles makes an individual more responsible and a stronger team member. 

Part 3: Reflection on "What a Computer Science Major Needs to Know"

The reading showed the importance of understanding that a computer science major is more than just coding, it involves problem-solving, mathematical reasoning and ability to work with complex systems. It also showed that importance of communication and collaboration are just as important as technical skills. 

Part 4: Reflection of "Code of Integrity"

Integrity is important to me because it ensures that the work I do truly reflects my effort and learning. Integrity is important for students and this program because it builds a foundation of trust, fairness and an opportunity for every individual in the program to succeed.

CST 349 - Week 4 Learning Journal

 Part One: Set your Educational Goals My primary educational goal in CS program is to develop a string and practical mastery of core CS concepts, including algorithms, programming languages, software engineering, and systems. I envision myself confidently solving algorithmic problems, understanding complex system architectures, and applying discrete mathematics to real-world challenges. I want to graduate with a skill set that allows me to design efficient software solutions, analyze problems from multiple perspectives, and communicate technical ideas clearly. I hope to excel on the capstone projects, future internships and collaborative environments by applying the knowledge I have gained. Beyond the CS program, I plan to continue to learn through a masters program and certificate programs. I also plan to continue learning in emerging areas such as AI, ML, and cybersecurity.  Part Two: Set your Career Goals A mathematical engineer / data engineer job after graduation in Sprin...

Store the data in a structured format, then build an API for real-time analytics.  Idea 2: Machine Learning-Data Cleaning Assistant Description: Create a tool that detects and corrects anomalies, duplicates or missing values in datasets using both statistical rules and machine learning models. (Ex: applying clusters to detect outliers to fill missing values). Package the tool into a library or web interface.  Idea 3: Graph Analytics Platform for Network Data Description: Build a platform to analyze...
