Capstone Week 7 (Starting Feb 11)

This week I completed the remaining studying and video information for the AWS Cloud practitioner exam! I have a busy schedule at the moment so I am still needing to find a time to take the exam. In the meantime I started the Fast.ai course and have made great progressing finishing Part 1. 


There was a good video for each "chapter" and also plenty of notebooks and Kaggle datasets and examples to help walk through the information and really cement what it is. This section focuses on learning deep learning by actually building models. I trained image classifiers using transfer learning, explored how to fine tune pre trained models, and worked directly with the fastai and PyTorch libraries. Some of the first videos were review of what I have learned in my Intro to Data Science course but still helpful to review it as it really sticks in my brain. Looking forward to part 2 and also taking my certification when I have time.

Capstone Week 9 Learning Journal

This week, I accomplished finishing the Google Agile Essentials certificate, along with starting the last certificate I have, the Google data analytics certificate. My plan for next week is to get as much of this Google certificate done, and hopefully start the project for the certificate after it.  Currently, I do not have too many challenges, except for that I still need to schedule the Amazon Cloud Practitioner exam but it is hard to do that in the middle east given the current state of the country. I do not need instructor assistance, but I have alerted them of my situation.

CST 462s Learning Journal Reflections

What went well for me was the ease of accessing the work I needed to do. Once I got credentials to the website I was able to do everything I needed on my own. Along with that, being able to meet with my supervisor was so easy and we always had great communication which made the process so simple. I always knew what she wanted and always took the constructive criticism.  Things I would improve would be to try to incorporate more Computer Science work into it like HTML or CSS, versus just using a website builder, but she and her organization are not literate in HTML/CSS so it makes sense to not use it so they can edit it later on their own.  The most impactful part was being able to do work for an organization that I also support. I support eating plant-based meals to not only further my health, but also the Earth's health. I know there is a lot of environmental impacts that plant-based meals have. I didn't face many challenges, but there was sometimes where I didn't have the...
