CS373 Fall 2021 Week 5: Zhongyi Wang

What did you do this past week?

I was super busy in the past week. I had two assignments and one project due in the last week. I worked very hard to make sure I cam submit before due days. I also finished three online assessments from two different companies. Part 1 and part 2 online assessments from Amazon and one online assessment from Cisco. I also met with my group for the SWE project, and it feels great to meet with new people.

What’s in your way?

There only things in my way right now are the two midterm exams in the next week. Since I was too busy in the last week, I felt I was not well prepared for those exams. Hopefully, I can get some time to study on Monday to prepare for the exams.

What will you do next week?

At the beginning of the next week, I will focus on my two exams. One is for algorithms, and the other one is for my statistics class. My group and I plan to meet in person for our projects. I did not go to the campus after the 2020 spring break. I feel so excited to back to the campus to meet new friends.

If you read it, what did you think of the Paper #5: Pair Programming?

It is a great article to tell us what we should do for pair programming. I found that share all information with your partner and communicating are the principal during the pair program. Working evenly is also a big key for teamwork, do not let anyone in the team working too much. After reading the paper, I think I am ready for the team project.

What was your experience of Python’s object model, list, tuple, set, dict, and iterators?

I do not have too much experience with Python before this class, but the lecture and quizzes in the last week are helpful for me. I am pretty familiar with Java, but it is my first time to know Java is a closed object model and Python is an open object model. It always feels great to learn new things.

What made you happy this week?

The thing that made me happy this week was I passed Amazon part one online assessment, and I passed all the test cases for Cisco online assessment. Hopefully, I will get some good news from Amazon and Cisco in the next couple of weeks.

What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

My pick-of-the-week is to get some rest if you feel exhausted. I was so tired in the past week. I tried to review my statistics formula on Sunday morning, and I forgot almost 70% of the material in the afternoon. So try to take a break when you need.
