I wasn't able to find a student from UNI with a Computer Science major, but I was able to interview Dallas Petersen, a high school friend, that currently goes to Iowa.
What are you learning?-How to develop datebases, lots of coding/programing, and how Internet servers have developed over the past few decades.
How do you think/ view creativity?-Logically. It is necessary to become successful.
To what extent do you think programming is an essential skill? -Well everything is web-based these days so it is important to have a database developer in every company. If you want to stay up to date with technology it is necessary.
What classes are you taking? -Systems Analysis and Design, Computer Science 1, Visual Basic, Database 1, Finance, Marketing.
What programming languages do you know? -HTML, C#, Python, and Visual Basic.
What do you want to do when you graduate? -Become a business analyst.
What sort of projects are you working on? -Developing my own websites, databases, and writing scripts from code.
How do you feel about collaborating on projects with others? -Multiple minds get things accomplished a lot faster. You can always spice up anything with more than one person's creativity.
Transferring less than a year ago and not exactly knowing a lot of people, it was difficult to find someone attending UNI with a Computer Science major. Luckily I thought of Dallas and I'm glad he was able to give me his time.
Since I wasn't able to hear his answers directly from him, nor visually experience the type of coursework he encounters, it was hard for me to understand the depth and meaning of some of the answers. As discussed in previous classes, we often look over Computer Science students and their significance, when in reality, our society is built upon these programmers. As Dallas stated, it is important for them to stay up to date with technology; it's key to their area of study/possible profession.
