Dylan's Journal

The past two weeks have included learning numerous different things such as learning about different errors, learning small intricacies and starting functions. I have definitely been working towards becoming a c ritical and c reative t hinker as well as a i nnovative p roblem solver. I have come across many strengths over the past few weeks. I have been able to successfully navigate, understand, interpret and apply all that I have learnt from my reading. My biggest strength has been my ability to identify and fix errors in both the textbook and my own coding. A specific example of a code has errors that I was able to pick up on can be below. I noticed that this program would not execute the initial instructions needed and would result in an error shutoff as it would tell Karel to pick up a beeper that is not there. The reason for this strength is that I am starting to better understand Karel J Robot and I have adequate access to people who have great knowledge in these areas. ...

These past few weeks have been the most exciting of the semester. I have been able to efficiently work towards my learner outcomes which are becoming a c ritical and c reative t hinker as well as a i nnovative p roblem solver. I have encountered my biggest strengths and successes over the past few weeks. My strength was staying patient and pursuing my final product every during obstacles. For example, it took a long time to write my first beepers code, even though it is a short code when I look back at it. I did not know how to set up Eclipse, my world or how to even start coding, thus I had to stay patient and overcome the challenge. I was able to create and write the code even though it required overcoming obstacles and challenged. The reason fo such occurrence is that I am still new to coding and lack sufficient experience. I definitely encountered many adversities over the past few weeks. My biggest adversity was not getting my first code to run, I had set up the world, writ...
