Week of Oct 15

This week we learned about for loops, while loops, and all other types of loops involved in Java coding. We had our first quiz of the six weeks on Tuesday too, over logic and I thought it was fairly easy but I was wrong. I got a 77.5... I made stupid mistakes and second guessed myself when I was right the 1st time, but that's okay. There will always be more quizzes to balance out that grade. We had a total of 4 labs this week to do, and a couple of CodingBat assignments online as well. GCD, and GCDRunner were assigned in the beginning of the week and I managed to finish that on Friday and start Deal and DealRunner with my partner.    I finished the a logic worksheet this week too, and hopefully I got it all right because then I'll get it and hopefully progress a lot more then I have in the past

Week of Oct 8

This week we extended our lessons on logic and we started another lab on computing operations with different numbers and then having it actually solve the equation. Labs computer and computer runner is where you have the program ask for an operator, and two different numbers, and then use the operator with the two numbers. The lab was a bit hard at first, but once I finally understood what the function of the lab was, I was able to start it up and nearly finish it by the end of the week. We also got a bucketload of worksheets this week. Whoopdeedoo. It seemed like a lot at first, but it was actually a lot of good practice and it helped me actually get all the stuff that I learned during the week. Next Tuesday we have a quiz over logic so hopefully Ill get my worksheets back in time to be able to use them on the quiz and get a 100...

Week of Oct 1

This week we took our first 6 weeks test over all of the material learned we had learned in the six weeks. I was confused over the character placement and whether or not to use the index counting method, so I missed ~4 problems  because of that. I missed 11 out of 40 questions on the multiple choice online, but I did relatively well on the free response that called to write code that had to do with a large system of methods, constructors  and return methods. I ended up with a 78 on the 6 weeks test, and it pulled my grade down 5 points. So now that I know what I messed up on the test, I can understand what I need to improve on to further understand programming in the future. On Friday, we learned about logic and booleans. The true and false in code and if statements. Then we did the lab that made us call things if they were either true or false. I plan on NOT getting behind this six weeks so I can stay on top of my game and actually understand all of the material.
