Quality of research is good, to include the news clips included to help support their statements.

4. how is the quality of the video production?

The quality of the video production is excellent.

5. is the video engaging and interesting?

The video is engaging and interesting. The soundtrack in the background and the narration in the beginning was very engaging. The clips were engaging. I like the topic was related to a personal story, it was like watching an actual documentary.

The teamwork is evident, as the quality of the presentation demonstrates a lot of work had to go into it. You can tell there is a different speaker for the general population video.

7. is the video appropriate to the audience (either general public or technology professionals)

The video is appropriate to the designated audience, with just enough information to get the audience aware of current situation regarding the topic.


BCIs - Past, Present, and Future by LUTRA

1. is the topic well covered? 

The topic is well covered, even in the general population video, where it has a smaller length time. You can learn what a brain computer interface is if there was no prior knowledge on it.

2. is the presentation clear?

The presentation is clear. The presentation discusses how BCIs work clearly, and how it takes brain activity to interact with technology in order to perform the tasks the user wants.

3. how is the quality of the research?

The quality of the research is well done, going into depth about the essential principles that allows the functions of BCIs.

4. how is the quality of the video production?

The quality of the video is well done. I would say that the audio is a little difficult to decipher in the professional video. I could use better control of the volume as it switches speakers, as the second speaker is a little quieter, especially with the background music playing.

The video is engaging, with excellent video clips utilized and interesting information being shared.

6. is the team work evident?

Team work is evident throughout the presentation, as this is a presentation of high quality.

7. is the video appropriate to the audience (either general public or technology professionals)

Both videos are appropriate to the intended audience, with information presented at a simpler level for the general public, and greater detail for professionals in the field.


Quantum Computing by Webcraft Solutions

1. is the topic well covered? 

The topic is well covered, especially in the general population video, where the complex topic of Quantum Computing is explained by comparing to something more relatable.

2. is the presentation clear?

The presentation is clear, with the speaker being clear and understandable. In the professional video, the speaker could slow down a little to make it easier to follow everything being said on a complex topic.

3. how is the quality of the research?

The quality of the research is good, discussing in great detail about the requirements of quantum stability, how they are manipulated, and how quantum computing is beneficial today.

4. how is the quality of the video production?

The quality of the video production is good, presented on easy-to-read slides, and well demonstrated information. 

5. is the video engaging and interesting?

The video is engaging with the way the information is presented. The speakers also are loud and clear enough to follow.

Part 2: Keep Up With Your Learning Journal

This final week, our team focused on putting together our final presentation. I started ahead by deciding on the different areas we wanted to discuss regarding use of AI to help prevent cyber attacks. We worked on that individually and met up on Wednesdays still to discuss how our research was going, if we thought we needed to make any adjustments, and how we wanted to present our videos. We then submitted all our audios on Discord so each one of us could piece together the video. Throughout the process, we waited for everyone's feedback before proceeding. I think we could have somehow made a nicer transition between each topic and it would be cool if our schedules lined up a little better to try to present on a group call together. It was a little difficult as the workload picked up for each one of us, and I got Covid, but overall, I think we did a pretty good job collaborating on our first big project together.

Interview with Bill McDermott The expert I decided to interview within the industry is Bill McDermott, the Technical Director of Test Operations at General Atomics. Bill is responsible for the research and development of the technology used and also manages special projects. He used to be the supervisor for my current mentor in the company, Roy Lara. It is through Roy that I became acquainted with Bill (I have a different supervisor). Now Bill is managing the Collaborative Combat Aircrafts (CCA) project for a contract we recently secured with the Air Force. I chose Bill as the expert I wanted to research because he is not only very knowledgeable, but the impression he leaves on me is different compared to other higher-ups in the company. Unlike other supervisors, Bill is rarely found in his office, but rather working hands-on tasks on the floor, whether it be routing fiber or connecting the different systems that compose a Ground Control Station (GCS). Bill is also personally writing...

Week 7

  Homework One assignment was the Markov Prompt. It read a text file and generated a collection of words and those that followed it to generate a new text. Sometimes the new sentences made sense and sometimes, they were just strange. It is funny to think about how I thought it was such a difficult assignment, but looking back, it was the only one I managed to get all the tests to pass on. I think I had the best approach with it so far, reading the prompt for understanding, then going through it once more to set up skeleton methods, prior to writing the code. How I would approach it differently is to sit down and think about my approach a little more. The prompt seemed so thorough and like it covered everything, that I just went for it. However, when it was time, I got stuck on areas like addWord and getSentence for DAYS because algorithms matter. I would also better organize myself with each method by creating a chart, because as I worked on some of them, I realized it made calls t...

Review and Reflect: Based on the Effective Study Skills paper, three areas that I am strong in are: scheduling my study times, surveying what I am going to be studying, and reciting. I start out every week reviewing all the assignments so I can decide what will require more of my time. I set aside 1.5 hours after work to go to the gym and shower then understand I will get straight to studying afterwards. I tend to talk to myself a lot for anything, even reading a word I never seen before. I will say it out loud to make sure I understand it. Three areas that I think I can improve on is: reading, reviewing, and true-false questions. I find myself constantly getting in a cycle of reading and not really comprehending what I just read, so I have to reread the material. As I am usually in a rush, I don't review enough if I feel like I got it. My test scores sometimes beg to differ. But this also correlates with the fact that I tend to overthink small details in true-false questions, ofte...
