CS 373 Fall 2021 Week of 13 Sep - 19 Sep

 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 smoothly.

4. If you read it, what did you think of the Paper #4: What Happens to Us?

I thought the paper was rather depressing to read. It sucks that minorities have to deal with these extra challenges just to do the same work other do. I hope the tech industry can be better about this in the future.

5. What was your experience of Collatz, exceptions, and types? (this question will vary, week to week)

I was pretty familiar with all of these subjects because I took Object Oriented Programming last semester and we covered these topics already. Python's type system is rather interesting though, so that was new information.

6. What made you happy this week?

I got to hang out with my boyfriend today so that was nice!

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

Pretty sure most people are familiar with Leetcode but my pick of the week is Leetcode, which is a website with tons of technical questions asked by interviewers that you can solve for practice. I know I'll be using this website a lot in the next month! Best of luck to anyone else who is currently recruiting.

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...
