Learning Journal - CSUMB - January 6, 2025

 Greetings,

    This week I learned about the campus of CSUMB, and how it was a military base before officially becoming a CSU in the mid 90's. The vision of our school is based on collaboration, teaching us skills that are essential for the modern workforce, and to provide the best possible curriculum with relevant technologies that will help us excel in our future, if we do our part and endeavor the challenges that Computer Science conveys. I also learned about the different ways to format APA style, depending if it is a website, book, or personal interview. At my previous schools, we would utilize MLA, so this is a great learning experience. 

I also refreshed on the importance of plagiarism, and why it is extremely important to do on our work, even with all the tools we have such as AI, 3rd party websites, etc. The challenge I overcame this week was to have a deeper understanding of how Dynatrace operates, and all the different components that shape a successful company. This was challenging because I have never researched a company into such detail; from researching the chiefs, their education, experience, and reputation. I also learned Dynatrace’s income flow, employees’ ratings, customer ratings, their initial beliefs, and how their beliefs have changed over the years as they mature as a company. I am excited to see what the rest of this week holds, and for the upcoming challenges we will face as we continue to advance in our educational journey at Cal State University of Monterey Bay.
