CS371p Spring 2021 Week of 29 Mar - 4 Apr

 

1. What did you do this past week?

This past week I worked on a Networks lab where my partner and I simulated the Buffer Bloat phenomenon. I also worked very hard to get the HackerRank test cases to pass on Friday with my partner and with a bit of bug fixing, were able to get it to work. I also finished grading assignments for 312 and I am preparing to help out with their exam tomorrow.

2. What's in your way?

Right now I have to prepare for an algorithms exam tomorrow and I still need to grade more 312 assignments. Even though I finished the HR portion of Darwin, we still have to write the test cases so that needs to be done too. I have a networks quiz coming up on Thursday that I'll have to prepare for after the algorithms exam.

3. What will you do next week?

Next week I will try to survive. That's all.

4. If you read it, what did you think of the Dependency Inversion Principle?

I thought it made sense. You don't want your code to rely on too many other things otherwise it will be hard to reuse designs elsewhere and slight changes could break it.

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

I feel better about vectors, copy constructors, and copy assignment.  Implementing them in the exercises really helped me understand what happens under the hood.

6. What made you happy this week?

My grandpa got diagnosed with terminal cancer on April fools so whatever made me happy earlier in the week I don't really remember. Maybe next week will be better.

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

My pick of the week is https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Introduction/. This helped me understand the Buffer bloat phenomenon in an abstract sense, but has real world applications outside of Networks.

 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...

CS 373 Fall 2021 Week 8/30

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...
