Part One: Team Project Reflection For our Final Research Video Project, my team's collaboration centered on Google Slides for project creation, using it to storyboard, organize content, and create the final visual product. We communicated primarily through Slack for real-time discussion and used email for formal requests and sharing final deliverables . While using these tools kept us aligned, the process usually hits bumps with scope creep and ensuring workload balance . Next time, I would implement two changes: Earlier, Mandatory Integration Checkpoints: Instead of waiting until the final week, we'd schedule a "Content Freeze" and a "Draft Review" far in advance. This forces us to integrate components earlier and catch misalignment between the script and visuals. Formalizing the Review Loop: We would dedicate synchronous time specifically for high-level feedback - everyone must review the document before the meeting, saving the meeting time for stra...

Part 1: Help Your Teammates Develop Capstone Ideas This week, our team shared and discussed potential capstone project ideas in our team chat. Here’s a summary of the conversation: Josh G suggested a public key encryption system using LinkedIn/GitHub profiles and a digital twin for a parking lot using a vision model.

  Part One: Support and Comment on Teammates' Goals This week, I visited two of my classmates’ blogs where they discussed their educational and career goals. I provided feedback and encouragement as a supportive peer coach. 1. Josh’s Blog – Week 4/100 https://joshcsumb.blogspot.com/2025/09/week-4100.html Josh plans to complete his BS in Computer Science and later pursue an MBA to move into organizational leadership. I admired how clear and well-structured his goals are. His plan to track accomplishments and maintain work-life balance shows self-awareness and maturity. I encouraged him to take on leadership opportunities during his degree and to research MBA programs that focus on technology management. 2. Anthony’s Blog – Week Força https://anthmartin.blogspot.com/2025/09/week-forca.html Anthony’s short-term goal is to complete his BS in Computer Science and his long-term goal is to pursue an MS at CSU Chico. He also aims for a remote role in tech. I liked his honesty about no...
