CS 371p Spring 2021 Week of 11 Mar - 28 Mar



1. What did you do this past week?

This past week my partner and I turned in the Allocator assignment. I also finished grading CS 312 exam 1 with the rest of the TAs and the professor. I had a Networks quiz which went better than expected considering the last two quizzes were a dumpster fire.

2. What's in your way?

I have an Algorithms exam the week after this that I need to start preparing for. Also, I believe that the next assignment for this class will be released soon, so I will need to start working on that as well. I have a bunch of assignments for my Networks class that are due in this next week as well which I will need to find motivation to finish on time.

3. What will you do next week?

I have to lead discussion section for 312 where I will go over the exam they just took. I will also work on homework for Networks and Algorithms, and perhaps start on the 4th assignment for this class. 

4. If you read it, what did you think of the Interface Segregation Principle?

I thought it made sense. You don't need to implement functions from an interface that you won't use. It would just make things more cluttered and could lead to issues later on.

5.What was your experience of initializations, and vector?

I didn't know that you could mark a constructor as explicit. I can however understand why it would be necessary, since you want to avoid creating a new object of that type where it shouldn't be (like the parameter example from class). Vectors are pretty handy and my partner and I used them for project 2.

6. What made you happy this week?

I got vaccinated yesterday! My arm is sore and I feel a bit tired but that was all the symptoms I felt.

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

My pick of the week is Wireshark. Wireshark is an application that lets you sniff packets that are in your network, and examine the contents of those packets. It tells you exactly when and where the packets arrived and you can examine the headers of the packets to get some pretty interesting stuff.

 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...

CS 373 Fall 2021 Week of 4 Oct - 10 Oct

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...
