Wk07/08: Learning Journal Summary


Look back at the HW1

Look back at the HW1 assignment and think about how you would approach it now.  Think about all the things we have covered and how far you have progressed.

Highlight at least two victories.  

It is very important to celebrate things that go right. It is VERY easy, and common, to focus on the negatives. I want you to focus on the positive aspects and really reflect and be proud of the work you have done.  Mention 2-3 areas where your skills have improved, things like 'I really understand access modifiers', or 'I am comfortable extending classes', anything where you feel better now than you did at the start of the semester.


The HW1 assignment was relatively straightforward compared to others. I don’t recall facing any significant challenges in completing it. If I were to repeat it, I would definitely incorporate more comments to enhance code comprehension, which would be beneficial for future review. Additionally, I would utilize the auto code format function to maintain consistency.
Throughout this course, I’ve gained confidence in using Git comments on the terminal and making commits and branches when necessary. Furthermore, I’ve developed a more organized approach to projects by creating layout diagrams and adding TODOs. Overall, this course has been a positive experience, although it was at times quite stressful.

WEEK 2   Part 1: Review and Reflect Learning Strategy What are the top 3 items that you are good at. The 3 areas I think I am good at are getting main ideas, extracting important details, and taking notes.  What are the top 3 areas you feel you are weak in?   The 3 areas where I need improvement are adhering to a consistent schedule, creating an outline before writing an essay, and studying skills(the SQ3R method will be helpful).  Part 2 Preview Time Management Skills Part 3: Project Management Basics We learned about projects. A project is a complex temporary initiative that is taken to obtain a specific goal. It has three constraints: time, scope(the goal plus the work), and the cost. A company or organization may start a project for many financial and or non-financial reasons, such as meet customer demand, keep up with competition, save the company from financial or legal troubles, improve public relations, or provide some social good. A project after being ...
