Week 04: Learning Journal - CST338

 1. I worked with Cody, Claudia, and Mariah. 

2. My strategy was simple: read the prompt and Unit Tests to get a better idea of what needed to be implemented.

3. Mariah and Claudia's strategy was to stub out the code and fill in the blanks via compiler errors and from the prompt. Cody's strategy was similar to mine: read the prompt and study the Unit Tests. 

4. I would not have changed my strategy, as it worked out for me in a rather easy manner.

5. My classmates follow the Google formatting, and all have the automatic application of the style.

6. The most challenging part was writing the game logic.

7. The most interesting was also writing the game logic.

8. I am most proud of finishing the project with the least amount of issues possible.

9. I celebrated by playing video games and having some victory drinks with friends.

The idea of this is to take a large project and split it into several smaller projects, which allows for an easier overview of the problems and solutions at ...

Week 3: CST 300 Learning Journal

 I picked tips for effective studying, particularly repetition. Repetition is an important key to studying and memorization. Reviewing past notes regularly helps cement ideas and information into the mind to be later retrieved using long-term memory. I've learned that the past week has placed an important emphasis on the ethics of artificial intelligence and its uses in society. A computer science major should know a plethora of things, starting from communicating properly and converting technical explanations into simpler and understandable descriptions. Knowing languages and knowing how to learn programming languages are different concepts, and knowing how to learn is important because of the rapid evolution of programming languages. According to the Code of Integrity, one should not submit work that is not their own, share solutions, and must be as specific as possible when describing the sort of help you had while completing said task.
