Most Useful Concept I learned in CSC318

In CSC318 lectures, the most interesting and useful concept that stuck with me is the Big 8's idea activity. The Big 8's activity allowed us to practice a very important skill which was coming up with 8 ideas in a limited time period. For the first 5 minutes, we thought of 8 ideas that summarized the main concepts of our research done in phase 2. In the next 5 minutes 8 more ideas were created upon evaluating our 8 old ones with our group mates. The activity made this specific lecture very interactive, and allowed me to better understand how developers push out new inventions through fast brainstorming. As a computer science student, we are striving to produce and improve applications to fascinate the world. This Big 8's activity allowed me to personally practice being in the position to think big similarly to in sprint meetings. Compared to the other 11 lectures where we learned the concepts through either a video, or a story I believe that interactive lectures such as this one keeps the class invested and interested in the topics. As a final proposal to improve CSC318, get the students involved through activity not videos. In today's age, watching a black and white video from the 80's is quite hard to do without falling asleep!
