CS 373 Fall 2021 Week of 27 Sep - 3 Oct

1. What did you do this past week?

This week I applied for many new grad software engineer jobs. I also started grading 312's first exam, which to my surprise lots of people got perfect scores for the question I'm assigned to grade! I held office hours earlier this week to help out with their 5th assignment of the year. I continued to work on the SWE project with my group and I worked with my Game Tech group to create a 3D player that we will soon use to construct a video game.

2. What's in your way?

I have 7 interviews/OA's lined up and I am very stressed out about them. I'm going try to knock most of them out this weekend but my Facebook phone screen is on Monday and I've been pretty nervous about it for the last week.

3. What will you do next week?

Next week I will continue to work on the SWE project. I'll also need to finish my video game project with my Game Tech group that's due next Friday. I will be finishing grading the 312 homework and exam. I have several other interviews/OA's I will be doing next week so I'll need all the practice with data structures I can get cramming this weekend.

4. If you read it, what did you think of the Paper #6: Single Responsibility Principle?

I already read this paper back in OOP so this is nothing new for me.

5. What was your experience of factorial, reduce, and operators? (this question will vary, week to week)

Factorial I was familiar with already, but reduce is something Python specific that I hadn't seen before. Operators were an interesting concept in Python as well.

6. What made you happy this week?

I just had sushi with my friends for dinner today so that was fun!

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

My pick of the week is React Bootstrap. My group has been using it to design our website and they have a lot of nifty cards that make the website look nicer! I highly recommend it for anyone who is using React for their website. I think the documentation is pretty easy to follow and easy to use. https://react-bootstrap.github.io/

 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...
