CST 363 - Introduction to Database - Week 8

-

 


Briefly summarize what you consider to be the three (3) most important things you learned in this course. 


  1. One of the most important things that I learned in this class was how to use MySQL. Prior to this class I had some knowledge about SQL but this class helped me understand and write more complicated queries such as joining tables, creating view tables and more. With all these new knowledge I think it will be easier for me when I enter the workforce because I will have one more tool under my belt. 
  2. The second most important thing that I learned in this class was how to use new software tools like MySQL workbench, MongoDB Compass and Mongo shell. Prior to this class I took a simple SQL online class where they had SQL integrated in the website so there was not need for me to download and install the software. Now I know how to use MySQL workbench to write queries, create databases, create tables, design databases and create ER diagrams. 
  3. The third most important thing that I learned was understanding how databases and SQL works. The lab assignments where we had to write some Java code and pass JUnit Tests were very challenging, but rewarding. I think those labs helped us have a better understanding of how a database works under the hood.

Week 4 - Learning Journal Post Set Your Educational Goals My educational goal in this computer science program is to graduate in two years and secure a job in the artificial intelligence industry immediately after college. To achieve this, I need to conduct a self-assessment and identify the steps necessary for reaching my goal. Improving public speaking is crucial since I've been a shy person since childhood, impacting my communication skills and connections. To address this, I plan to work on public speaking and actively participate in networking events like hackathons and school events to make new connections. Additionally, I recognize the importance of staying updated on evolving technology and being prepared to enhance my skills accordingly. Taking short trips to other countries for decompression and preventing burnout is something I consider valuable. Finally, to enhance my chances of securing a job post-college, I aim to participate in internships while still enrolled in col...

Modules 6 & 7 - Collaboration (by OLI) This week in OLI, I learned more about conflict management, learning to approach conflicts strategically. Evaluating the value of relationships and considering the long-term impact on oneself were emphasized as crucial factors in conflict resolution. The importance of assessing whether the conflict is worth investing energy into and determining the most effective approach. One notable lesson involved identifying and addressing an escalating conflict. I observed a conflict unfolding from the beginning, characterized by raised voices and apparent irritation. However, as the situation unfolded, it became clear that a simple issue, a piece of wood under the table, was causing the problem. This highlighted the significance of early intervention and the potential for a straightforward resolution. Conflict can emerge right from the start, especially if someone in the team perceives a problem. Furthermore, I learned to recognize signs of conflict esca...
