Week 4 - CST 338

Project 1 Review

1. For this review, I worked with my team members: Joshua, Neng and Kha Ai.

2. My strategy was to start implementing the methods in the order that they were listed on prompt document. I did not necessarily plan it out, just followed the order. I did not attempt to run the tests until I had a rough draft of how I thought each method should be implemented. Then I began debugging to see what I needed to fix.

3. Kha Ai read through the whole prompt a few times before starting on the assignment. She did not plan out the assignment and just started coding after reading the prompt. She wrote the whole project out before doing any tests. Neng chose to write out all the stubs and tested them one by one to make sure they worked. He did this before created methods that called other methods. 

4. Mainly, I would have allowed myself more time to work through it without having to stress on time. For the next assignment, I might try to write out methods that do not call other methods first and test them to make sure they work. 

5. Since I first installed IntelliJ, I set my code scheme to Google Style so it follows the guide as intended.

6. I struggled with not knowing what to do in an instance where a monster had more than one element for attackModifier(). The setType test was one of the last tests that I couldn’t pass and it was due to my implementation of attackModifier().

7. The monster types were interesting although I was hoping we'd implement some graphics to go with the code so we could see the tests run in real time. 

8. I am most proud that I felt confident when I was implementing the methods unlike in Markov. I felt the prompt was straight forward and I created most of the methods quickly. I felt like I knew what I was doing.

9. I celebrated by going out for margs and tacos 😎

Week 1 - CST 370

 This week we learned how to define graphs, how to calculate the greatest common divisor (GCD) using Euclid's algorithm, and algorithm analysis. Graphs are part of the data structure in computer science, defined by a set of vertices and a set of edges. Algorithm analysis helps determine the efficiency of an algorithm. This will indicate how fast an algorithm rune and the amount of memory is required by the algorithm.  One question I asked in discord was about resubmission for hw assignments that were graded before the due date. I asked if we had to notify the TA or professor when we resubmitted the assignment.

Week 1 - CST 438

 When the class was about to begin, I was expecting to learn some new coding concepts and methods using a particular language. I was expecting this to be one of the most difficult classes of the program. Although I am not saying this class is going to be a walk in the park, I am now seeing that Software Engineering is concerned more so with the overall complexities of creating and maintaining code, including how to work together with colleagues, how to plan what needs to be accomplished and the resources needed to reach those goals. I believe we will learn a lot more of the project management aspect of creating and maintaining code that will help us create expectations for our future endeavors.

Week 4

I hope to gain a better understanding of how programmers use logic to create software from the ground up. It will be exciting to see what I can create as the I move through the program and hope I will be able to help my peers if needed. My primary goal is to retain the information I learn as it will be crucial to entering the job market. I would also like to further my education beyond my bachelor's degree. This may be in Cyber Security or another area that can transfer into the criminal justice field.  For as long as I can remember, I have had a desire to work in law enforcement in a role that helps investigate crimes. Taking into account my limitations, I knew I had to be realistic of what role I could have investigating crimes. I would like to become a digital forensics analyst where I could have an exciting career with new challenges every day. I hope to work for a federal agency and with task forces that handle major crime investigations.  The ETS computer science sample ...
