Week 7

Part one

We planned our Final Research Video Project by collaborating in Google Docs and Google Drive. We set the research outline, script, and video structure, and then continued our communications using Discord and Zoom for those long discussions. Progress and tasks were kept track of using Trello so that no one was off course. Everything went on pretty well during the process, but due to some clashes of schedules, it was very hard to get it all well aligned in terms of contributions. This could be improved next time by setting some structured deadlines and regular check-ins to keep the workflow at a good pace, averting last-minute rushes. Using a shared content calendar would also help in organizing tasks more effectively.

Part Two

This week’s lectures and readings were very informative about the revolutionary power of AI and some of its ethical dilemmas. I found this TED talk very interesting, mainly because it showed that today science is no more being pushed by AI into constantly accelerating discovery, but also it moves its frontiers in areas like protein folding, drug development, or problem-solving within complex domains. On the other hand, it gave a genuine and fiery debate on the fact that opening new scientific frontiers with the power of AI raises serious concerns about many important things, starting from the competition between big tech companies, to risks related with fast improvement, and responsible AI governance.What the video allowed me to reflect on is how we take AI development in a safe and ethically improved direction, with long-term consequences in mind, rather than just making it for purely commercial reasons or competitive advantage.
Furthermore, readings and video performances that portray a strong presentation skill reveal an effective narrative to hold the audience with a clear and sensible message. Such effective presentation of a nice presentation is required to be informative and carries useful content in such a format that makes the information interesting. It is through the use of visuals, privacy of tone, or even structure that attention can be caught from the audience. These are very relevant lessons that will help in the fine-tuning of our Final Research Video Project so that it does not only get across information but also does so in an interesting, approachable, and perhaps persuasive manner to various publics. Such knowledge would also apply in making presentations within academic and professional settings that require a better assertive communication approach to make a difference.

Part 1: Review and Reflect Learning Strategy I am good at time management , as I am good at creating structured schedules that allocate time for studying, breaks, and other responsibilities, helping me stay organized and reduce procrastination. I also thrive in focused study environments , where I minimize distractions by choosing quiet, comfortable spaces to maximize productivity. Additionally, I effectively use visual tools and outlining , such as charts, diagrams, and key point highlights, to simplify complex concepts and improve understanding. I need to work on critical thinking because I often take in information without questioning it deeply. I also need to improve my note-taking skills since my notes are too detailed and hard to review; using summaries and index cards could make them clearer. Lastly, I should build a review and retention system because I don’t revisit the material regularly, which would help me remember and prepare better. Part 2: Preview Time Management S...

Week 4

  Part One: Set Your Educational Goals My primary goal during the study for my undergraduate degree in CS is to have a strong base in all the computer science concepts and programming, developing software while working on my problem-solving skills. It is not simply my desire to graduate with a degree, but also to gain some practical experience from projects, internships, and personal efforts through learning.  After my bachelor's program, I aim to go for certifications, coding challenges, and real-world applications to remain trend-savvy according to the industries. By the time I leave college, I want to feel very confident in my technical and problem-solving abilities and ensure I am ready for the job market.  Part Two: Set Your Career Goals In the long run, I want to end up as a front-end developer at a technology-driven company working on usable applications and interactive web experiences. In the short term, I want to gain an internship or entry-level job where I can ...
