First reflection: the class so far

by Elliott Hauser

22 Sep 2022

Bring to class a reflection on your class experience so far. This should be in a digital format that you can copy and paste from. (Beware writing code in word processing programs!!)

*Note: You’ll post this reflection, or a version of it, to the class website. You’ll be able to choose a pseudonym, so the post will not be tied to your name unless you want it to be. Many students so, and a few students choose pseudonyms each year. There are benefits to each, and this will not affect your grade. I just need to know how to match you to your Github name.

Cover anything you think is relevant, but make sure to hit these topics:

  • What’s a lightbulb that has gone on for you? Give an example.
  • Describe some confusion you’ve experienced. Did it help you learn?
  • What’s still fuzzy for you? What will you do to make sure you can resolve your fuzziness?
  • What problem solving strategies have been working for you? Give an example.

Include at least 2 code examples from code you’ve written for this class.
