Psy301 Week 2 Individual Assignment

Upon reading information about REU AMI for summer internship, I have a mind of expertise in technology can provide people with disabilities that make easier for them to have access to the framework of information library. Not only accessibility of information, interaction with technology is an essential to those who want to gain knowledge of information they desire to learn. Aside from that, I have been involved with team in Thinking Cap funded by National Science Foundation since January 2015. The goal is to evaluate and analyze the challenges that Deaf and Hard of Hearing students experience in the Statistics course. My initial responsible was to provide feedbacks and suggestions on videos and PowerPoints that were helpful for students complete a difficult statistics topic. As of now, I am currently

working on creating a test by making a story related to data of population and sample. Then immerse more information into that story based on difficulty level (from easy to hard). Once the story complete, it will be used for experiment on students who willing to volunteer to take the test. By using my current knowledge from that research will apply to the AMI research, but expand with more suggestions related to new features or other necessities that may be helpful for people with disabilities. In additional, I am planning to purse my education with more motivation and strengthen my skills in Master of Science in Computer Science or Information Technologies and Sciences after I graduate with Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. My goal is to imply my knowledge and skills by brainstorm more ideas that are able to turn dreams into reality.
For classroom experience, Java was my first programming language I have no prior knowledge in high school.

I was struggled when I started learning how to use Java like, datatypes, objects, and several other methods. It was frustrated at the beginning, but never give up as I tried my harder to understand when and how to use in Java. I took Computational Problem Solving in the Information Domain II last semester (retake again this semester due to the pass-fail test policy), I was actively involved with my partners in mini project and final project. For the mini project, my partner and I were working on Halma which allow piece to move diagonal, left or right and we were not able to get it done on time due to two weeks frustration of trying to make a piece move. For the final project, Othello (or Reversi) was the hardest challenge for my team to figure out when it comes to move a piece in specific position. However, with help of professor and teaching assistant, we were able to get the game done on time. The projects have helped me develop my logic skills further in complex programming issues and learned all the mistakes that turned me into become a better

programmer.
