CST 499 - Week 8

This week we spent our time working on the final presentation and preparing for the capstone festival. It was interesting to finish up this course and I am looking forward to the meeting on Saturday. Looking back this capstone went by quite quickly but feels like a lot of effort and work was expended on it. It is bittersweet to think that this may be my last entry into this journal which I have been working on for two whole years now. I hope to be able to use some of the skills I have garnered from my time at CSUMB in the workplace soon.

CST 499 - Week 7

This week we finished out project final report. It was quite interesting to go through and catalogue how our project has come out through these past few weeks. I enjoyed the process and am happy with a lot of the interesting things I have learned in these few weeks. We also finished our first version of a presentation video for this weekend’s presentations. I think mine came out well, it has been a lot of work completing all the tasks for the capstone in a solo project, but I feel that it has been more worthwhile that way as I can call my entire project and process my own.

CST 499 - Week 6

This week we had our final meeting regarding our capstone project. It went well and we covered the plan regarding our final presentation that we will be working on this next week. We also took the ETS exam this week which was interesting to go over.  I think I may need to study up more on networking and some of the more low-level hardware aspects of computing from some of my experience. I also believe that algorithms and functions seem to be one of my stronger suits from my experience. I had quite a bit of trouble working with the proctors prior to the exam. It took a total of 6 or 7 proctors and an hour and a half before I was able to finally take my exam. I continued working on my application and have a fully functioning version working currently I was able to also start on user tests and got a lot of positive feedback and interest in the project, which was very encouraging.

CST 499 - Week 5

This week was fairly interesting. It is incredible how fast the capstone has been going by. I began working on joining the back end and front end of my project. It is I believe close to being completed with hopefully just a few more days of effort put in. I was able to implement a google sign-in features to address some of the ethical concerns and also to possibly build upon if I so chose later on. We took our ETS practice test and will be scheduling our full test later on this week, which I am looking forward to. Overall it was a pretty good week.
