Module 8 Journal
•
What was the problem you were solving in the projects for this course? I had to create a program to print a sample schedule and course information that would be used by a college advising team. •
How did you approach the problem? I had to consider why data structures are important too. Data structures are everywhere, most times we don’t even realize it. It is easier putting something into a data structure. This stops us from writing redundant, repetitive code. Data structures run time is much less than it would be doing it a different way. •
How did you overcome any roadblocks you encountered while going through the activities or project? Trial and error and. I spent long hours researching and making corrections for this project. I would get stuck at times and have to research online and seek assistance through tutoring.
•
How has your work on this project expanded your approach to designing software and developing programs?
This project has challenged me to think about the way I am going to write the program, how I interpret and write programs. Learning about the algorithms and how to use them will be a skill I
can use a lot in the future. It will be extremely helpful in producing a program.
•
How has your work on this project evolved the way you write programs that are maintainable, readable, and adaptable? This has been a challenging project, probably one of the most challenging I have worked on. This project showed me to be patient and write the code and rewrite until it is correct. Readable programs are important in any career in coding, which means I need to be able to adapt. This project, and this course has pushed me hard, causing me to have to work on that more with every
week and assignment.
