CST 438 - Week 5

-

 This week we worked on a System Requirements Specification (SRS) document.  The purpose of this document is to explain the requirements of a project.  These requirements are documented fully and revied by the shareholders of the project.  It is the base of the project that explains the requirements, design, tests, and implementation.  The SRS contains high levels of detail as it is the "guide" how the project will be completed.

Setting Goals Setting goals is a vital skill that everyone should practice.  Education and Career goals are some of the most important goals to set first.  My education goal for the CS online program is to complete all courses with A's.  Although a high letter grade is sought after, personally it is not the only thing that matters for my education.  Understanding and applying what I have learned is just as important as passing the class.  Struggling through long study hours to ace a test and then forgetting everything because my brain was so exhausted is not ideal.  Taking my time and learning from my mistakes will ultimately help me ingrain the knowledge for this program.  Career goals after receiving an education are just as important.  I have already started to think about what these goals are and how I am going to accomplish them.  One way of doing this is by defining short-term and long-term goals.  Short-term I would like to intern...
