Final Class Reflections

Josh Lim

1.     Briefly describe the projects/assignments you accomplished in this course. Along with just completing the final project, I completed all the bare minimum of exercises, labs, and classwork in all of the major units that we have done.

2.    What did you learn that surprised you? I am surprised that all of the coding that we have learned individually was able to come together and make a big compatiable program.

3.    What challenged you in this course? How did you meet the challenge? I think the main challenge was for me was time because even though I didn’t struggle as much with the units anymore, I take a long time and sometimes use more time than I expected. I met this challenge by asking more questions to my peers and working together on the exercises more.

4.    What would you do differently if you have a chance to do any of your projects again? Why? If I had a chance to do the project again, I would’ve organized the program a lot better as it would’ve saved me a lot of time. (i probably wouldn’t even need to work at it out-of-class)

5.    What have you discovered about yourself as a learner? As a learner, I have discovered that I really enjoy putting together programs that I individually have created on my own.

6.    How did the projects you created connect to your understanding of programming? The project I created connected to my understanding because it forced me to apply all I knew into one program which is a good experience for me.

7.    Thinking back to a particular project or your final project complete the sentence.  Regarding the Shapes Lab assignment, I discovered that I enjoy manipulating shapes and using them for a program later I can create.

8.    How did this learning relate to your goals (personal, academic, or professional)? This learning related to my goals because focusing and staying positive, I am able to complete any assignment I would need to (including personal, academic, and professional goals)

9.    How did this learning relate to the things you are learning in your other courses ? This learning related to the other things in my course because this course helped me talk and communicate with my peers.

10. How have you grown as a student this semester?

What do you wish we had more time to do? I have grown more as a student this semester by staying persistent and being able to ask for help whenever I can.
