CST 300 Module 1

This week marked the first Module of my CSUMB journey.

Team Meeting:
I enjoyed meeting the members of my team, Silicon Bay, and am looking forward to working with them to complete our goal of earning our CS degrees. During our meeting we decided on how we would work on group projects, choosing to use a rotating manager position on the specific projects. We also discussed various tools for working on projects together as well as discussed this week’s assignment focusing primarily on the Industry Analysis Paper Outline. After completing the meeting we submitted our team minutes for grading.

Writing Lab Module 1:
In Module 1 we took time to study the particulars of plagiarism and studied the APA style of formatting. Types of research sources, such as primary, secondary and tertiary, were explained and an emphasis was given to paraphrasing and quoting from sources. Examples for one of our assignments of the week, Industry Analysis Paper Outline, were also given, and the requirements were gone over.

Quiz on Module 1:
I completed a 10 question quiz on the Module Lesson. It was a good way to review the content that we learned in the Writing Lab Module 1. I look forward to more quizzes to help me review the lessons.

Industry Analysis Paper Outline:
I submitted my outline, summary and reference page this week for our Industry Analysis Paper. My focus for the paper is the video game software engineer career, while specifically looking at the gaming company Electronic Arts. I was very excited to talk about my future career choice and hope I can follow my goals.

Journal Entry:
Finally, I uploaded my first journal entry for my journey to my Computer Science degree. I am looking forward to many more entries to come and am excited to document my journey.
