Developing Capstone Ideas
This week, we worked on helping our teammates develop their capstone project ideas. Here are some comments I left on my teammates’ blogs:
Weekly Summary
This week’s lecture was about job searching, writing resumes, cover letters, technical interviews, and what companies are looking for in job candidates. This information should be helpful on the job search, and I’ll be sure to make use of the career resources that are available to me as a CSUMB student.
I also spent some time learning about LLMs for our final video presentation. There is a ton of material out there on LLMs, and things get pretty technical pretty quickly, so I’m learning a lot. I found a helpful course called How LLMs Understand & Generate Human Language by Kate Harwood, who does a great job of introducing LLMs in a practical and understandable way.
At our team meeting, we discussed the video project and how we plan to approach it. We split up the presentation into sections, with each team member focusing on a specific step of how LLMs process data and generate text.
I also learned more about WordPress. One of the assignments this week was to put together our portfolio page, which we’ll add to as we progress through the CS Online program. I’m using the new WordPress Block Editor, which can be a little tricky, so this has been a great opportunity to get some practice with it. I figured out that it actually works pretty well with Tailwind CSS, since the block editor allows you to easily add classes to blocks, which can make styling easier.
