Week 5 CST 300

 Part 1: I commented on Dakota and Mohamed blogs and you can see my comments on the blogs below.

Part 2: 

One project idea I would want to pursue would be to develop a mobile game, a game that will challenge me to become a better programmer and allow me to showcase all the skills I have learned.

A second project idea I would want to pursue would be a data analytics program, a program that provides companies with basic data analytics solutions that they can customize to fit their specific needs without having to pay for an expensive program built specifically for them. 

A third project idea I would want to pursue would be a website for a small company that does not yet have one so that they can reach more customers. This would allow me to make an impact on the community and also allow me to test the skills I will acquire of the next 2 years. 


Part 3:

This week was focused on developing an argumentative essay without falling into the trap of logical fallacies. I learned a lot about fallacies in high school and even now it is tricky to avoid using them, they are an easy way to make your argument sound better and more convincing then others. The merits of your argument are not based on the fallacies but on the actual facts that support your argument. I learned how to find and identify fallacies in my own writing to improve it. I also began looking into the capstone project and found several ideas that I thought were extremely interesting and would be good to base my project on. I am thinking about graduate programs to improve my skills further after this program and would love to explore the possibility further in the coming years.

CST 370 Week 5

 This week we moved from learning how to read and understand algorithms, to a more direct approach to writing some of the more advanced algorithms that explore the more common mathematical and logical problems programmers tend to face. Learning about topological ordering, tree structuring, and quick sort was very interesting as these concepts are huge throughout the computer science landscape. COming off the test last week I feel reinvogorated to keep learning.

CST 370 Week 2

 This week was very interesting, I had learned about time efficiency and Big O, Theta and Omega notation in the past but it was great to learn formal definitions and see some examples of how they can be applied. Understanding how to evaluate recursive algorithms was new for me and pretty difficult to understand at first but after reading the text book and other required materials it started to make a little more sense. I would like to continue practicing evaluating both recursive and nonrecursive algorithms  just to continue understand the asymptotic notations a little bit more. Overall it was a good week and the homework was challenging in a great way.

CST 370 Week 4

 This week I was able to study some of the topics I struggled with in previous weeks like recurrence relationships. In preparing for the test being able to use two sheets of paper as notes was helpful for studying but also helpful for the test. A refresher on merge sort was also a welcome experience as well as the divide and conquer techniques.
