CST300 Module 6

 Part 1: For the capstone project, our team discussed possible ideas during our weekly team meeting. Although we are unsure of any solid ideas just yet we do have a sort of direction or category we'd like to go into. This category is based around a website or app that would solve a day-to-day issue we may individually have -- such as needing to keep track of a vehicle's miles and maintenance. Between now and when we will begin the capstone project we will keep the project in mind and develop more solid ideas in the near future.

Part 2: This week we are continuing with our ethics paper and are planning to finish the first draft this week so that some of our team members can review it. Our team decided to keep the list of who is reviewing who paper the same as the industry analysis paper so that the planning is easy and hard to get confused. Otherwise the lecture material this week mainly focused on helping us understand what qualities we should develop or focus on in order to be a good candidate for any future employment on top of good practices on how to develop a resume. I have already begun looking into applying for positions in the software development industry and so the ideal qualities in candidates is a topic that I have already researched heavily. 

Finally, our team has begun discussing the plan we have for our final video presentation project. For this weeks workload we have decided to limit our dedication to the video to just gathering resources for the project so that we can continue to focus on our ethics papers.

CST462S Module 8

What went well? What would you improve? What was the most impactful part? What challenges did you face? Overall I was able to complete my service hours but with some difficulty in making sure I made my weekly goal, ideally I could have started earlier to allow my site more time to assign me tasks. Our class essay went pretty smoothly throughout the course even though my group and I were dreading completing the assigned section of our essay every week. In terms of challenges for this course it was mainly just scheduling, having 2 classes at the same time with what felt like a standard workload we’ve come to expect from each with our service learning on top. If instead 462S was on it own and our graphics design course was paired up with a different course such as the web design one, then it would have been a much more manageable courseload.  What advice do you have for future SL students? My primary advice for this is to start as early as possible. Having 2 classes worth of work plus...

CST489 / 499 Week 16

  For this week, please spend time browsing through your two years of journals and reflect on your overall experience and growth in the program. Some thoughts on future plans would be great, also.   This program has been an interesting two years, we've gone over so much material and yet I know I have so much more to learn just due to the nature of this field. I hope to continue to grow as I have these past 2 years and into a position where I can leverage my new skills.

CST438 Module 7

  Describe some of the differences between using an Agile process and using a  Plan and Document (or Waterfall) process.      The overarching difference between Agile and Waterfall is seen in how Agile generally has a design process that is broken up into smaller sprints with planning intermingled compared to Waterfall which has different stages of the project documented at the start before any development. This generally results in the Agile process being easier to pivot in the middle of development, having higher customer involvement throughout, and lower risk through constant testing in exchange for a lack of a concrete final project vision. Waterfall generally has the final project deliverable planned and documented prior to development which can lead to higher risk involved in testing and a reduce ability to pivot in the middle of development.
