Part 2: Keep Up With Your Learning Journal

Throughout this class, I’ve learned the value of collaboration and teamwork, especially through group projects and peer feedback, which taught me how to communicate better and contribute to a shared goal. Writing assignments helped me express my thoughts clearly and professionally, which is essential for both academic and career success. Creating a portfolio, including my Learning Journal, Individual Learning Plan (ILP), and final presentation, gave me a chance to reflect on my growth and prepare for future opportunities. I also learned practical skills such as building an effective resume and writing a strong cover letter, as well as receiving helpful tips from professors on how to present myself in both academic and professional settings. Altogether, this course gave me useful tools and confidence to move forward with my education and career goals. 

We communicated via Discord, which really helped us share our inputs and ideas quickly and stay updated on our tasks. Everyone contributed their part, and we supported each other to keep the project moving forward. The platform allowed us to stay connected even outside class hours, which made collaboration smooth. While I believe everything can always be improved, and even though I think we did well overall, I’m sure there are specific areas where our team can improve that I haven’t noticed yet. Overall, with all of our teamwork, here's the final result:

Confessions of a Chronically Confused Note-Taker

Part 1: Review and Reflect Learning Strategy One of my strengths is making and revising a study schedule. I am good at planning my time and organizing my tasks, which helps me stay on track. I also do well at finding the main idea and important details when I read. This skill helps me understand the most important parts of the material. However, I need to improve in a few areas. Taking notes is hard for me because sometimes I write too much or miss key points. I also struggle with outlining textbooks since I am not always sure what to include. Another challenge for me is answering multiple-choice questions. Sometimes I overthink the answers and doubt myself.

Balancing Beaches and Bytes: My Week 1 in the CS Online Program

Before the first week of my CS Online course started, I was happy to connect with my teammates early. I really enjoyed working with them. We shared ideas, created designs, and had fun being creative together. It was a great start, and working as a team helped us a lot. To be honest, when Week 1 of the course started, I was in Hawaii on vacation with my family. It’s not a usual way to begin a new class. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea. This course is very important to me because it helps me prepare for my future, and I didn’t want to fall behind. But at the same time, I knew that spending time with my family and making special memories in Hawaii was also important. So, I gave myself a challenge: Can I enjoy the vacation and still keep up with my school work? Here's a photo taken from my drone.  I’m really happy with how this course is set up . It has both group work and individual assignments. I enjoy working on my own because I can focus, but I also like working w...
