CST 300 Module 1

 So this is my first official week as a CSUMB online student and so far it was something I didn't quite expect. The first of many courses is CST 300 which is course that welcomes students into the program and allows students to introduce themselves to there fellow classmates and faculty. The course seems to have more of a focus on writing, communication and team work which is actually a good idea because it teaches us more than just coding alone. Everyone in the class was randomly placed into groups of 4 where we do group assignments as well. Everyone in my group is really friendly and it has made the group work a lot easier. The structure of this class and all classes will be done through canvas which is great for me since I am already familiar with the learning platform. This week I learned a lot about the history of CSUMB and got re-introduced with writing in APA format. I did a ton of research on Aerospace companies for the Industry Analysis Paper. I chose the Aerospace industry for my research paper because I am passionate about the field and I am hoping to grow within the industry. Another interesting assignment in the first week of CST300 was recording a short self introduction video on YouTube and submitting the video as an assignment. This is something I have never done before so this was definitely a new experience for me and I am sure a lot of my class mates as well. Anyways I look forward to continuing my journey as an online CS student and being introduced to new topics as well.
