Part 2: Professional Video - Group 10 - YouTube

Throughout this class, I’ve learned how to better analyze the ethical impacts of technology using specific frameworks like utilitarianism and rights-based ethics. It helped me understand how different stakeholders view the same issue in completely different ways, and how to argue each side clearly without personal bias. This has made me more confident in writing structured arguments and thinking critically about controversial tech topics.

My team communicated really well through Discord. We were organized, divided tasks early, and always finished our assignments ahead of schedule. Everyone stayed on top of their responsibilities, which made working together smooth and stress-free. For next time, the only thing we could maybe improve is adding more short voice calls or check-ins just to connect more personally and make sure we’re all aligned. But overall, our collaboration was strong and effective.

Week 4 Learning Journal

Part 1: My goal is to graduate from the CS program with a strong foundation in software development, cybersecurity, and data systems so I can confidently land a full-time job as a cybersecurity engineer for the Department of Defense or a private defense contractor. I want to be skilled enough to pass security clearances, earn industry certifications like CompTIA Security+ and CISSP, and contribute to building secure, innovative technology that protects people and critical infrastructure. I see myself walking across the stage at graduation, proud of the hard work I've put in, and excited to step into a role where I can grow, learn, and make a real impact. Part 2: My goal is to become a cybersecurity engineer working with the Department of Defense or a top defense contractor like Lockheed Martin, where I can help design and protect mission-critical systems. I want to be part of projects that make a real difference in national security, using my skills to prevent cyber threats and bui...

Week 2 Learning Journal

 Part 1: After reading the Effective Study Skills paper, I think the top 3 skills I am good at are developing a weekly schedule, making sure to read instructions to properly complete assignments, and ensuring I always have a quiet study space with no distractions. Some of these skills come with trial and error but they have proven to be most beneficial in studying successfully. I think 3 skills I need to work on are organizing my notes when researching, the SQ3R method, and making every hour count. These study skills and methods are important to practice because they will be a big step up in being efficient with studying.  Part 2: Activity log Part 3: Watching the three video presentations provided offered a lot of helpful tools that will boost my knowledge on project management. The first explained the five main phases of project management and the role of a project manager. The second showed how a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) helps organize tasks into smaller parts for bet...

Week 7 Learning Journal

Part 1: For our team’s final research video project, we’ve been using Discord to communicate, and it’s worked really well. We chat frequently, ask each other questions, and keep everyone updated on progress. It’s been a smooth way to stay connected and make sure no one feels out of the loop. We’re using Google Slides to build our presentation and OBS Studio to record and edit the final video. So far, the process has been going pretty smoothly, but if I had to improve anything for next time, I’d suggest setting deadlines a little earlier to give ourselves more buffer room. Overall, the collaboration has been solid and productive. Part 2: This week’s materials made me think about how little things can have huge effects. I chose a TED talk on cybersecurity, I realized how something as simple as clicking a link can lead to serious consequences. It was a good reminder to stay alert online. A TED talk I was interested in was by Amy Cuddy. It was on body language and it was really interesting...
