What did you like the least about the class? I did not enjoy the first part of each exam. A shared sentiment was lack of time on the first part, specially exam 2. However, overwhelmingly my least favorite part was the online transition due to the pandemic. The lectures felt rushed and we did not get aContinue reading “Final Entry”

What did you do this past week? I had an exam on Thursday, so the earlier part of the week was focused on prepping for that. I found a partner for the next project, Life. Amazingly, my partner finished 8 out of 12 tests on Thursday, so that put us in a real good placeContinue reading “Week in Isolation 5.0”

What did you do this past week? I wrapped up the Darwin assignment. It was not as challenging as I expected, although wrapping my head around the class relations and how to manage the board was the key to solving the project in the expected way. It was an interesting project, and one that broughtContinue reading “Week in Isolation 4.0”

What did you do this past week? I had an exam which I think went well. It was on campus, which was interesting. I hadn’t been to campus since the Thursday before Spring Break. I have never seen it that empty, and I doubt it will ever be like this again once the pandemic clearsContinue reading “Week in Isolation 3.0”

What did you do this past week? It was a weird week. We had our lectures either live via Zoom (for this class), and some others pre-recorded the lectures and posted them on Canvas. It gets a bit challenging staying on top of classes on top of maintaining a good routine and whatnot, although oneContinue reading “Week in Isolation 2.0”

Are you and your family safe and sound where you are? We all live in different cities and do our best to keep ourselves entertained at home. My parents live in New Jersey, so that plays on my mind a bit. How do feel about your ability to finish the term completely online? I thinkContinue reading “Week in Isolation”

What did you do this past week? I did not do much class related work. We did not have any project work this week. I had a low-key week, with most of my classes having bit of a lull in their work. I tried to take it easy this week, as I have 3 examsContinue reading “Week 7”

What did you do this past week? I wrapped up Voting with a partner. I did not plan on working with someone for this assignment, however, it definitely made life easier having someone to rely on and also ensure we met our requirements. We were able to wrap up the hackerrank part pretty easily, butContinue reading “Week 6”

What did you do this past week? I wrapped up the remaining tasks that surrounded the Collatz submission, and confirmed I was on top of everything with a visit to Professor Downing’s office hours. Hopefully, I did not miss anything! We covered arrays in this week’s lectures along with an overview of the next projectContinue reading “Week 4”

What did you do this past week? I wrapped up most of Collatz. It took a while to pass the 3rd test, but most of it was accomplished in one evening at the lab. I spent a significant amount of time trying to get an environment set up on my Windows machine, unsuccessfully. That partContinue reading “Week 3”
