Week 12

Had to help take care of a family member this week, so haven't had enough time to get started coding on the Simkl integration like I planned. So for now, I'm focusing on continuing to review the current codebase where I'll be making changes. I'll be adding features on an existing project, and many files have hundreds of lines of code already. I think it will be good to take a closer look at how the current backend works to make sure my future changes don't break anything.

The plan for next week is tentative depending on how my mom feels. Hopefully I can start coding.

No challenges development wise. Still taking care of my mom this week, so that's taking up my time right now. No instructor assistance needed at this time.

Module 4

 Part One: Educational Goals My goal in the CS program is to gain a well-rounded computer science skillset that will prepare me for a career as a software engineer. Looking at course descriptions for courses available within the program, and my own experience outside the classroom, I believe this goal is achievable. I also plan to complete at least one internship by the end of next summer. Based on conversations with recruiters, I've learned that internship experience will greatly increase my chances of obtaining a full-time position. Also, I see it as part of my education, since it would involve learning new skills that I can use towards a future career. I'm planning on applying to as many companies as possible and practicing questions related to data structures and algorithms. Part Two: Career Goals My career goals after graduation are to become a software engineer at a tech company. Once I become a software engineer, I plan to keep learning outside of work, brushing up on so...

 OLI Review: This week we took a post test for the OLI material. I found it easier to identify conflict, and and to respond to it properly. Going through the post test questions, I understood why the material is so useful and applicable to team scenarios throughout the course. Luckily, I was assigned to a great team, and haven't had to use any of the conflict resolution methods mentioned in the OLI. Part 1: Video Evaluations of Other Teams Super4 Web Solutions Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdvpwHH512I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF65ge1WfYw Evaluation: The topic is well covered and researched. Video production wasn't too bad for the quality expected, and the presentation was clear. I found the video interesting and all members appear to have planned their speaking parts well. Both videos are appropriate to their audiences. Bit Of Otter Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRcDnYiPm48 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuCseqYcNAg Evaluation: The topic is well cove...

Week 4

For this week, one of my assignments was to reflect on completing my Markov program, and compare my reflections to those of my teammates. Who did you work with? You can work with up to three people For this exercise, Luis Hernandez and Edward Torres. What was your strategy for solving the Markov assignment? Did you start writing code right away? Did you plan it out on paper? I typically read the instructions in the prompt first to get a mental picture of how the program should work, and how the different parts of it interact. I also reviewed the lab video since I couldn't attend the session live. When reading through the prompt, the driver file, and the test file, I also try to identify which methods or classes need to be written first. I usually choose to implement methods that don't depend on others first. Depending on how the tests are written (if the methods or classes are too dependent on each other), I often wait until the end to run the test file. The interdependency can...
