CS Online Weekly Updates

 What a journey it has been. Looking back on my year of the online program, it has been truly amazing. As someone who is on their 3rd college, and went from on campus to online learning, I have experienced it all. I can say this program has been my favorite, and also has taught me the most in my academic career. Being able to go at work at sort of my own pace every week was amazing, while still keeping myself accountable with due dates and assignments. My future involves me working for Charles Schwab in the summer and hopefully getting a return offer. I am so grateful for CSUMB and its online program for giving me the resources and tools to get a job and learn. 

This week I did a rough draft video proposal going over my capstone certifications. Just waiting for approval or if I need to change anything.  Plans for next week are to get the reflections and evidences report finished as well as learning journal and other miscellaneous items to end my studies! No challenges at all this week.

This week I finished up a project for the data analytics certificate to show my knowledge and learning. I did it over more basketball data and what statistics separate winning from losing, how certain stats have changed over time, and if stats like assists and turnovers are as important as people say they are.  My plan for next week is to finalize my video presentation and get everything ready to go. No challenges, probably will not do the AWS exam, as I have studied and learned the information for it and uploaded something to the cloud, I think I am okay settling for a 'B' for that certificate since I am unable to complete the exam. 

This week I have made progress in modules 8 and 9 and should be done by the week to get started on the video. This week we also  created an outline for the video. Plan for next week is to start the video, or maybe another certificate to replace the AWS Cloud practitioner one as I am unable to take the exam.  No challenges in any of the courses, just need to evaluate how much time I have once I complete the current certificate to see if I have Time to swap the AWS one. I have studying/mini project but not the exam certification
