Student Goals

When asked what their goals were for the course, students responded:

Python / Programming

  • Become more familiar with utilizing Python

  • get more programming experience

  • to gain programming experience to be ready for the industry

  • Get more practice and knowledge about programing

  • have good programming project experience and figure out python

  • Improve upon my programming skills and learn Python

  • Gain experience in using python language for software development

  • Improve my programming and learn Python

  • Expand my programming knowledge for personal projects and prepare myself for the job market

  • Improve my programming and algorithm skills

Python for Data Science

  • I’m hoping to create an in depth project that utilizes python in hopes of using it to go into data science

  • get more familiar with python and applying that to real life situations that could be helpful for the future

  • good programming experience. I want to go into cancer research, so i’d like to learn how to use TACC’s machines to handle big data

Technologies

  • I want to learn Docker, databases, and more about APIs to be well equipped for software engineering jobs. Also this is a degree requirement for me

  • k8s

  • Get familiar with building web apps

  • Learn about relevant computational methods.

  • Gain a better understanding of cloud computing technologies

  • Be more familiar with cloud computing and gain more experience in python to be prepared for the industry

  • I want to learn more programming skills, specifically Kubernetes, and work on projects that can contribute to a portfolio!

  • learn how to effectively use workflow resources to better my coding skills

  • Learn more about cloud computing and improve software dev knowledge

  • To broaden my skills in programming, specifically in cloud computing and workflow management in general

  • I have previous experience using virtualized systems both locally (XCP-NG) and on AWS, but have not done much with containers. I am especially interested in learning about docker and k8s!

Software Engineering

  • Build a complex computing system

  • Be able to work in software engineering

  • Understand what I did to finish the final project and be able to apply it

  • I want to learn more about software engineering rather than just computation methods in order to create in depth projects

  • Be able to build a complete software application the proper way

  • learning more about programming applications

  • learn how different languages connect to create a final product

  • To understand how to create useful and larger scale software

This Person Gets It

  • Most of my degree has been overly academic and not particularly practical; this class seems like it will provide something more that I desperately need.

Good news: You are all in the right place.
