CS 371p Spring 2021 Week of 1 Mar - 7 Mar

 

1. What did you do this past week?

I finished Voting with my partner this past week. I also started on my Networks project that involves making an HTTP proxy. I took my first algorithms exam as well on Monday.

2. What's in your way?

Right now I need to finish the Algorithms homework assigned for this week and I need to figure out how to advance my Networks Proxy farther than it is right now. I am running into some bugs that I'm not sure how to fix.

3. What will you do next week?

I need to finish my Networks project next week and I need to start on the third project for this class. I also need to finish grading 312 assignments. I will also finish the algorithms assignment and turn it in.

4. What did you think of the reading?

I did not read it so I don't know what to think of it.

5. What was your experience of arrays, iterators, and algorithms? (this question will vary, week to week)

I feel better about arrays, iterators, and algorithms. I didn't know there was different types of iterators, and it doesn't look like we have had the experience of returning specific iterators so I'm wondering what that would look like. I also didn't know there would be a standard library array if there's already a built in array. It makes me wonder why the built in array doesn't already do what the standard library one does. Algorithms that we went over seemed very simple so I'm wondering if we will get to learn more algorithms that involve more complex design.

6. What made you happy this week?

Nothing made me happy this week. I am very tired. I need a break. Please give me a break.

7. What's your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

My pick of the week are http proxies. Apparently hackers can use it to access websites that are normally restricted by having the proxy alter the packets that are sent in. I have to create one for a project in a Networks class, and ours simply only alters headers.

 1. What did you do this past week? This past week I held discussion section for my 312 students for the first time. I also graded their second assignment last night, which grades were not so great. I had a meeting with my manager from my summer internship yesterday and found out that I did not receive a return offer for a full time position unfortunately, so I've also been practicing Leetcode to prepare for future interviews. 2. What's in your way? I need to finish a Game Technology homework that has been rather puzzling so far. I also need to finish my iOS mobile development homework as well. For Monday, I need to prepare for discussion section and I'll need to finish touching up my resume to send out to recruiters for full time interviews. 3. What will you do next week? This next week will be full of interview prep and project planning. My classes that involve group projects are starting to form groups and project development is starting soon, so I hope those go s...

What did you do this past week? This week I had my first office hours for the class I TA for, CS 312. I also started the Collatz assignment and managed to pass the HackerRank test cases. I got assigned my first homework assignment for iOS mobile programming and started thinking about how to work that out. What's in your way? I need to finish this blog, then I need to create my acceptance and unit tests for Collatz. I also need to start on my iOS mobile programming assignment which is in Swift, and I need to read up on the syntax for that language. What will you do next week? My goal for this next week is to finish the Collatz assignment, finish my iOS mobile computing homework, and start grading the first homework assignment for CS 312. I'll also need to host my office hours and prepare for the first discussion section for that class. If you read it, what did you think of the Paper #2: Makefile? I always though Makefiles were an interesting concept and I'm glad I get to hav...

What did you do this past week? This past week my group and I finished our first phase for the SWE project. I was in charge of making the instance pages for the cities and filling out the model page for cities with more information. I also had a couple interviews lined up this past week and funny enough, my Facebook interview happened to be at the same time as the outage on Monday so I had to get it rescheduled for this upcoming Tuesday. I finished working on an iOS UI design document for my iOS class and finished grading 312 assignments. I also finished the first big phase for my video game technology class! What's in your way? The only big thing in my way right now is the sheer workload I have for all my classes. All of my classes are project based classes and while that isn't a bad thing, trying to juggle so many large projects at the same time is a bit overwhelming. What will you do next week? Next week I'll continue to work on the SWE project along with the projects fo...
