Part 1.     Of the topics I explored last week I believe the study practices of 'recite' and knowing 'where to study' are the two study strategies that I should focus on improving. Reciting is not only important as it forces you to take more time with the material, but it also directs you into engaging with it as well. Having to recall the information you study helps to solidify it into memory. Knowing where to work is a key component in having an effective study session. Separating yourself from distraction and finding what works for you to help with concentration guarantees the full time spent studying will be effective. Part 2.      This week had a focus on the ethics of computer science, much of it regarding the future of AI.

Keeping a journal will certainly be a great learning experience, but I am all for trying new things.      Last week has been fun getting to work alongside my team as well as getting to know them more. Everyone has been great to work with and very friendly. We put together a fun project advertising our skills as if we were a company. After we established regular meeting schedule and set up an appointment with an instructor.      This week began with learning the history of CSUMB as well as covering APA standards for citing sources. To my surprise CSUMB was established in 1995, only a short time after my own birth. After covering those topics came the real meat of this weeks course material, designing an outline for an industry analysis research paper.     For my industry analysis paper I have choses to explore software engineering and th...
