Good things
I'll admit it, i'm no natural at Computer Programming, programming languages or anything tech related. But lets not dwell on the negatives. Despite having a hard time getting the first function of project two down, i did it! Yes i had some help but hey, i think i'm finally getting the hang of things (as in how things are supposed to work, what the function of the main function is and the component element of functions). On the bright side, i learned a very good problem solving tactic from both Kailey and Averi. In short, if you're stuck, don't dwell on it, move one and do the things that you can do and then come back to the hard stuff. I thought this was an excellent approach to the lab. Allow me to explain. Both Kailey and Averi thought that the second function was difficult after they had completed the first. Thus, they skipped to the third function, maximizing their productivity without getting all caught up on the second function. How does this tactic apply to me, you ask? Instead of getting all hung up on the seemingly impossibility of the second function (i guess i am being a little melodramatic) i moved on to the main function and practically finished that one! This leaves an entire day devoted to figuring out how to graph the function! Realistically, will i still need help from my best buds and the teach? Almost without a doubt. But am i getting something out of the class? Yes, one hundred times over yes.
