Introduction My
name is Vanessa Marie Tigno. I was born in the Philippines and I am
currently living in Salinas. I am taking the TMAC Major focusing on
Programming. I hope to graduate on May 2004. This site is a
representation of my Individualized Learning Portfolio (ILP) all
throughout my experience here in California State University of
Monterey Bay.

What is TMAC? TMAC
is short for Telecommunications, Multimedia, and Applied Computing. It
is being sponsored by the School of Information Technology and
Communications Design. From my own perspective, TMAC is the version of
Computer Science in CSUMB. TMAC provides a hands-on experience on
technology for students especially emphasizing on Computer Programming,
Networking, and Design.

Major Learning Outcomes As
part of the curriculum, the TMAC major offers various classes that
would achieve certain outcomes referring to which track the student has
chosen. Each class falls under a particular division of Outcomes be it
Core Outcomes, Design Outcomes, Technology Outcomes, Custom Outcomes,
or Advance Outcomes. Please click on the link below to transfer to the
Major Learning Outcomes Page. -Major Learning Outcomes Page- This is the outline of my academic outcomes as a TMAC-Programming track Major. Core MLOs Techonology MLOs Advanced MLOs Additional MLOs

Capstone Each
class delivers an evidence of what the student has learned. This is
seen evidently in the student's portfolio. It could either be a
website, a paper written, or a final project i e. connecting cables or
Service Learning. The most vital representation of the outcomes learned
by the student is the Capstone Project. My Capstone Project is to
create an online chess game (E-chess) that will be accessible by any
person from any place in the world. This Capstone should represent most
of the things that I have learned in CSUMB, be it from the classes that
I took or the hands-on experiences. Furthermore, this focuses mainly on
my Programming skills since I am taking the Tech/Programming track.

Generalization CSUMB
had provided me a great experience not only in learning but also in
meeting new people and be able to express myself and nurture my
self-esteem. With its diversity, I never felt rejected nor
discriminated in any form. Although it offers limited courses, I still
think that it is a good starting point for this university and
hopefully, it will be improved in the near future. I hope I could use
the knowledge and skills that I have gained from
this institution in the job that I will be fulfilling in the future. My
experience at CSUMB had really been a positive one. I would surely
treasure this university and most of all the mentors, staffs,
colleagues, and friends that I have met!
