In this being the final blogpost of the semester I will be reflecting over mostly everything that happened this semester in Computer Programming.
When I first entered the class in August I really didn’t know what to expect out of it. I wasn’t the kind of person who was into computer stuff or programming or any kind of thing like that. The first six weeks was kind of easy because we didn’t really do any kind of programming. All we would were group activities that were mostly puzzles and I really liked the fact that they were in groups. The computer-buying project was something that was really cool and I enjoyed doing because I got a 91 on it. Also the TED talks we would watch in class were really cool. I ended up getting a 98 in the class for the first six weeks.
The first time we did some kind of programming was with the HTML/CSS project. In this project we had to build our own website using the specific codes that go along with HTML and CSS. In the beginning I was REALLY confused on what to do and I spent a whole day just doing nothing because I didn’t know what to do. After getting some help from other teammates I finally figured out how to use HTML and CSS and my website was on a soccer team called Real Madrid. I ended up getting a 90 on this project, which I was satisfied with because it was pretty good for the experience I had with it.
In the second six weeks I ended up getting an 83 and the things that brought my grade down were the quizzes because they were hard. I really did not enjoy taking those quizzes because they were worth 40% of out grade.
When scratch rolled around the corner, I was really getting the hang of it and I actually kind of liked it for some odd reason. I thought that the first few labs were easy and that they weren’t teaching me anything. As time went on though they actually became harder and I was really having trouble with them. I ended up finishing all the labs except for the number guessing game and the rock, paper, scissors, labs and I got two zeros. I thought that the quizzes over Scratch weren’t hard it’s just that I didn’t pay attention to the questions on the quiz.
When it was time to do Jeroo, I was SO lost in the first labs and I didn’t know what to do. It took me at least 30 minutes just to figure out how to do the first lab, 1A. I got some help from some classmates and after a while I started to understand what to do. The first quiz we ever took on Jeroo I got a 40, but I retook it and got an 80. After going over the answers I got wrong I figured out why they were wrong. I finished all the labs that need to be finished and I retook all the quizzes up to 70’s. Something that I found hard about Jeroo was the compounds if because I didn’t really understand those at first but I started to get the hang of it little by little. I am a little bit nervous about the final for this semester because it is over Jeroo but I think I will do pretty well on it.
Overall this semester in computer programming was pretty fun and I enjoyed it. I really think we should watch more TED talk videos because those were always pretty interesting. I also am curious on what will happen when we get back next semester. I really want to explore Python because it is very similar to Jeroo and it seems cool. Well I hope you enjoyed this final blogpost for this semester and I hope it gave you a over view of this semester. Soccerdude17 out!
