Part One: How did you collaborate? So far, we completed the professional audience video. Our collaboration was phenomenal. We have two set times to meet throughout the week:  Monday at 4:00 PM and Wednesday at 1:00 PM. This allows us to start on assignments as soon as they are open and we have the time to sit through those days working together. One of our meetings lasted almost 5 hours. Everyone in our group is motivated and disciplined and also capable of working in a team. We listen to each other's opinions and make sure we communicate any problems we may have.  What tools did you use to communicate and produce? We used: - Discord for recording and communication.  - Google Slides for production. Is the process smooth? Yes and no. What happened the other day was that we didn't really read the directions right and thought the assignment was pretty straightforward. However, after almost completing the professional slides, we came to realize that we didn't follow through w...

  Part 1: Help Your Teammates to Develop Capstone Ideas We discussed all our possible capstone ideas and saw a relation of organization and artificial intelligence within our ideas.  These were our ideas: User-friendly appointment booking system for small businesses - Many small businesses have a hard time with inefficient and difficult scheduling systems. This project would create a simple, mobile-friendly appointment booking system with features like automatic reminders and calendar, significantly improving customer experience and reducing no-shows. Smart navigation system or app for public spaces - Many people struggle with navigating crowded places like malls, airports, or large events. This project would create a user-friendly mobile app that provides real-time navigation indoors, showing the least crowded paths based on foot traffic data. It could also include accessibility-friendly routes for users with disabilities, improving overall user experience and convenience. AI...

Part One: Educational Goals My goal in the CS program is to develop a good foundation in software development which specifically includes front-end and back-end technology. I also want to get a really good understanding of algorithms and develop problem solving skills. Programming languages are another important part of this plan. In fact, that is the essence of CS. I’ve done C++, Python, Java, Javascript and other languages, but want to revise them all again and this time create a nice portfolio utilizing some of the languages. The next goal is to hopefully land internships or full-time entry jobs to get real-world experience. All this is while attaining my bachelors. Part Two: Career Goals I want to start now in terms of career goals meaning that I want to start getting experience as soon as possible. This means I have to get into an entry level job and build from there. Something attainable can be taking courses on UI/UX design and get a career related to that. As I get used to that...
