CST 334 - Operating Systems - Week 8

-

 


This week in CST-334, we learned about the concept of persistence as it applies to operating systems. In computer science, persistence is the property that allows data to outlive the process that created it. This is important in operating systems for managing data that needs to be stored and retrieved even after the system is powered down or restarted. There are various mechanisms for achieving persistence, including file systems, databases, and other ways of storing data. Understanding these mechanisms is necessary for developing reliable and robust systems that can handle data efficiently and securely over time.

Persistence also applies to us as students, the concept of persistence has significant relevance to our journey as computer science students. Persistence in this context means maintaining steady effort and determination in the face of challenges. Completing this course requires consistent effort, resilience, and the ability to adapt to new and complex topics. Just like in operating systems, where data persistence ensures continuity and reliability, our persistence as students ensures that we continue to grow and achieve our goals despite any difficulties we may encounter. This dual understanding of persistence, both technical and personal, underscores its importance in our academic and professional development. This class was challenging because the concepts were hard to understand, but it taught me the importance of being persistent.

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...

Part I: Review Other Teams’ Final Video Projects Gigabit Goon Squad Team General public video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f0hMCXJo0k   Professional video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OihMITZwvgI   Evaluation : Both videos provided thorough coverage of the topic of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), catering to both professional and general audiences. The introductions effectively provided an overview of BCI, including its definition and historical background, setting a strong foundation for the presentation. The delivery was clear, aided by well-designed slides, appropriate background music, and relevant images. The team demonstrated commendable research efforts, deepening the understanding of this technology and its applications in humans. The engaging presentation reflects the collaborative effort of the team. Overall, both videos are suitable for diverse audiences, showcasing the team's excellence in presentation and content delivery. Kudos to the team for ...
