CS 371 Week of 5 Apr - 11 Apr

 

1. What did you do this past week?

This past week I took my second algorithms exam. I also helped proctor an exam for 312 students. I received some work information about my summer internship this past week as well so I'm looking forward to working over the summer. My partner and I are almost done with the Darwin project so hopefully we can submit soon.

2. What's in your way?

There's not much in my way, I need to catch up with my algorithms class since last week was kind of a blur. I have a networks lab I need to finish this next week but that's all I can think of at the moment.

3.What will you do next week?

Next week I will finish a networks lab. I will also start grading the 312 student's second exam. I also will work on algorithms homework.

4. If you read it, what did you think of the Why getter and setter methods are evil?

I didn't read it so I don't have any opinions. However, I remember from class that getters and setters aren't good for object oriented programing design.

5. What was your experience of vector, move constructor, move assignment, and allocator? (this question will vary, week to week)

I feel much more comfortable with vectors now. I think after doing so many HackerRank exercises over the last few weeks, I've gotten a good grasp on how they work under the hood and why it is built the way it is. I thought the move constructor was particularly interesting since it requires only an R-value, and I'm curious is there is something like that in Java.

6. What made you happy this week?

Today my boyfriend and I got to walk around campus and enjoy the sunshine and saw lots of disc golf posts set up around campus (which I don't think they were there before). I also caught up on a TV show I've been meaning to watch this weekend too.

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

My tip of the week is to work with a partner on the OOP projects. My partner for Darwin was very helpful in catching mistakes that I missed in our implementation and without his help I might have taken much longer to do the project by myself.

 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 worked on implementing sorting, filtering, and searching through the backend for phase 3, half of which was done for us since we're using Flask Restless. We did have to manually implement the search feature though, but luckily it wasn't too bad as we referenced our TA's code and it was easy to understand. I also worked on coming up with a final project for my Game Tech class, where we decided that we will be creating a PvP turn based combat game, similar to Pokemon in nature. I also started working on the final release of our app project with my iOS group, where our next step will be implementing map functionalities. 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. I also find the project for...
