Week 6 CST 300

 Part1: All of my group members had great ideas two that really stuck out to me were the virtual or augmented reality classroom for underdeveloped and understaffed school districts and an augmented reality app that helps learn foreign languages. Both of these ideas deal with using an AR or VR headset which is a new and quickly expanding piece of technology that would be interesting to develop an app for but also provide practical services for people that need them. Overall we have a long way to go before we have any concrete decisions made but we have numerous good ideas like these that would make for good capstone projects. 



Part 2: This week I learned about the proper way to build a resume and cover letter for programming jobs. Although I have made resumes in the past and have written cover letters, I have never had formal teaching on the matter. There were lots of helpful tips and pointers in this weeks lecture material. I also learned about the proper way to paraphrase and the who, where, when, what, why, and how method to take an excerpt of a passage and paraphrase it. My group discussed our possible capstone project ideas, and found some that we all agreed would give proper examples of our skills. I built a resume and a cover letter that list my current skills and previous work experience.

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.
