My two teammates Michael <\/a>and Katie<\/a> offered unique goals to read and contrast against my own. My comment on Michael’s goal of becoming an educator: <\/p>\n\n\n\n I think that the education path is an excellent decision for you. From the time we spent together at community college, I could always tell you were particularly studious and were good at helping out other classmates in our CS courses. I think that it is a very rewarding path to take. While I don’t know much about their online master’s program, Harvard offers a very well formulated undergrad-level online CS curriculum that I have used in the past as supplemental education, and based on that I would recommend at least giving their program a look. Having an MS from Harvard would look nice on the wall too :P.

The concept of a role that combines both writing software and also maintaining the systems that run it seems like a natural progression of both careers, and I can imagine that the need for DevOps will only grow with time. Your short-term goals and current job will prepare you well for this role, should you decide to go down that path. <\/p>https:\/\/katherinevickstrom.blogspot.com\/2021\/01\/cst-300-major-proseminar-week-4.html?showComment=1612924485295#c4849895241184012009<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n After viewing some previous capstone festivals from previous CSUMB CS Online cohorts over the past few weeks, I have had the opportunity to think over some possible ideas for a capstone project that I would like to implement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The first idea that I have is that of an online tabletop game manager. I am a big fan of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons, and have not had the chance to play these games since before the COVID pandemic. This project would be a web-based game manager that would allow users to connect to a ‘game room’ that would be controlled by the ‘game master’, which would host all of the relevant game information that would usually be done on pen and paper on a table. It would allow for a chatroom-style game log, allow for dice rolls, and allow the game master to share files and information in the room while members communicate over a third-party voice software such as Skype. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another possible project would be a multiplayer first-person shooter game which I have had the idea of in my head for many years. This would likely be made in a game engine toolkit like Unity or Unreal, using free assets available on those platform’s asset store. While this would be a fun project, the scope would likely be to large for an eight week period, and I would only be able to complete a prototype at best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, I would like to create a browser based trading card game in the vein of Magic: The Gathering that would be a truly cross-platform online game that anyone with an internet connection could play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this week’s lecture, we reviewed previous CS Online capstone festivals. We also read materials related to internships and post-graduate education. Reading these made me seriously consider looking for an internship sooner rather than later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the writing lab, we studied specifics about writing persuasively. Specifically, we learned about logical fallacies, which are common flawed logical arguments that people often use in order to make a strong but illogical argument. We also learned about loaded words, which are words that carry a secondary connotation that could give your argument a biased-sounding tone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Comments on Teammate’s Goals My two teammates Michael and Katie offered unique goals to read and contrast against my own.
