My CS Online Journey

 Looking back at the HW1 Looking back at HW1, I see how much easier it was to accomplish it with the knowledge I know now. I could’ve managed my time better to better understand the concept of the program. Also, I would implement my enjoyment of writing down notes that organize my thoughts and highlight important details when writing a code. If I were to restart the HW1 assignment, I would take a totally different approach. I would first write and check off each field, member, and stub method needed for the program. Then I would work on what each field and member consist of for the program to work. This is when my time management would’ve helped me if I executed it properly. I needed to spend a great amount of time working on each method to make sure the program ran properly. Highlight at least two victories. When starting off this class, I thought understanding math and programming languages would make this class easier but when entering it was very confusing to understand at firs...

 1. Who did you work with? I worked with Monica, Flavio, and Jeremy. 2. My strategy for solving the Markov assignment: During this Markov assignment, I had no strategy. I didn’t prepare enough for this project and it    resulted in a bad outcome. I needed to give myself the time to understand everything and I definitely didn’t. It seemed easier than expected, but it wasn’t. I did start writing the code from the prompt right away but I did not finish it. Before I resubmit my assignment, I will study the UML diagram and write down the details of the fields and methods used in the class on paper. I enjoy writing notes, and I think that will help me rewrite this program along with others. 3. My classmate's strategy for solving the Markov assignment: Flavio's strategy for solving this assignment was first using the tools he had which was the video Dr.C had posted. He then read the document needed to start the assignment and started right away following...

Project 1 1. Who did you work with?      I worked with my Code Busters team; Monica, Flavio, and Jeremy. 2. What was your strategy for solving the assignments?      My strategy for solving the assignments is starting of with adding the fields, setters, getters, and methods with stubs. I followed along with the UML diagram and prompt and wrote each one as it mentioned. Then I went back to add information for each method to try to pass them. I took plenty of time doing this because it was hard to figure some out. While I was doing all this, I did add to my notes on paper; what I had, what I didn ’ t have, and questions I had about certain methods. I then went back to add them or figure out the problem to get the correct output that I need. In my code I also committed plenty of time and made sure I had 5 branches. 3. What was THEIR strategy for solving the assignments?     My classmates depended on the prompt and went through each step to understand...

 Summarize the feedback you are given about your code. During the project 1, I have learned several things. I know that even if it seems fun and simple, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will be. Coding takes time to figure out each method so each test can pass. I had a few failed tests and if I had taken more time, I would’ve figured it out. I still have a long way to learn and here are a few suggestions I got from my classmates. Flavio pointed out that I was missing an object to the calcualteDefensePoints() method. Flavio, along with Monica, also mentioned that I needed to add more comments on what the code is doing. I agree that my code did not have enough Javadoc comments to ensure the readers, what each part was.  Identify any trends you noticed when evaluating the code of others. We all struggled with figuring out our failed test, specifically; setAttackPointsTest, setGetHealthPointTest, and defTest. We all talked about our struggles in these and when looking at other’s cod...
