Learning: One Beeper at a time.
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 critical and creative thinker as well as a innovative problem 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, written the code and after spending roughly 45 minutes with more than one classmate, trying to figure out what was wrong, we came to the conclusion that it was just a change in wording as my classmates uses Windows and I use Mac thus there is a slight difference in wording. The reason for this occurrence was that it was my first coding task and my classmate doesn'tusually use Mac so we couldn't figured out what was wrong.
I have come across confusions and areas of inquiry. I am confused about some of the coding. For example I am confused as to why we write all the code at the top of the program and am yet to figure out why we do this. The reason for this is that is I am still learning the intricacies and details coding. A digital artifact of my confusion can be seen below:
My biggest success has been my second coding task, which was writing my name in beepers, this took a long time, a lot of effort and commitment. This code was 178 lines and was a task assigned by Mr. Shappell. I loved producing a piece of work that I am truly proud of. The final product of this code can be seen below:
I am exited for what the textbook has in sight for me and all the tasks that I will have to tackle. I love the problem solving aspect to programming and am ready to overcome all obstacles. I can definitely improve in many ways, I can learn new codes and techniques of coding such as different functions. This improve will assist me in getting my work done quicker and more efficiently. I can also improve by learning exactly why we write the different parts of a program and I will be able to avoid such adversities that I came across in the last few weeks.
