Week 9

 I think my problem with solving Coding Bat challenges comes from the fact that I didn't know some Java lines like str.substring() and how to do -1 for the end of the string. I also need to think before I get to coding. Which is counterintuitive as I usually just code, then think about what went wrong. I sometimes took a break to solve these challenges. Like I stated previously, I threw code but now I know I should try and plan it better. These assignments took numerous attempts, it says 45 minutes for each assignment, but I probably spent ATLEAST double on both. I'm not as strong of a programmer as I'd like to be, it is a different language, but that shouldn't be an excuse. I will try hard to get good.

 I'm excited to begin my first official week at CSUMB CS online! I started off the first week by going over the lecture. I learned about how we will be utilizing APA format, different sources and what is expected of us, paraphrasing, and plagiarism. I will do my best throughout the year and I believe I'm off to a great start. This Thursday I will thoroughly review the writing lab and begin. Let's have a great first week.

Set Your Educational Goals      I have several educational goals. The first one is a strong understanding of core computer science concepts such as data structures and algorithms, operating systems, databases, and computer networks. A deep understanding of advanced math such as calculus, discrete math, and linear algebra will also help. With a clear emphasis on getting better at programming, that will be beneficial. I also want to have an internship and more personal projects. I then want to specialize in an area of computer science, maybe artificial intelligence as that's what I wrote for my paper but it's still up in the air. I want to be good at communicating, teamwork, and problem-solving. Set Your Career Goals      Short term wise I want to land a role in my specific interest. Whether it be software development, data science/AI, cybersecurity, or other fields. Then build technical depth and gain industry experience. I can then network with others to fu...

Part 1:      The first thing I'm good at is schedules, I agree there is a ton of value to schedules and they save an immense amount of time. Figuring out what days and hours I have available to do what work also relieves stress on my mind because I know I will figure out those problems when my availability is open to do so. One thing I'm not good at is not storing my notes in a good place. I'm scatterbrained in that sense so according to this effective study skills document I should try and consolidate my notes for better retention of information. The second thing I'm good at is answering easy questions first, as soon as I'm stumped I skip past it to let my subconscious handle it and get on an easier problem. Another thing I'm bad at is reading multiple-choice questions, I have a bad habit of rushing so I need to take some time to read the questions multiple times to make sure I understand what is being asked. I do have a good study space, that is quiet and comf...
