Title Getting Started Date 01/01/01
Starting point: Exercise 1.1
Target For this lesson To successfully complete exercise 1.1 and start the next exercise
Did I reach my target? (add details to "Lesson Review") I was able to complete my task this lesson while i did get reasonably confused at a point I did eventually understand with the help of my partner Spencer Norways.
Lesson Review
How did I learn? What strategies were effective?
I think my most effective strategy for working and discovering new things was experimenting with the program and trying again and again until I get it correct. Which in my opinion worked very very well until we got deeper into the Exercise 1.1 and code I had to be more careful or it would take to long to complete and reset which made me focus more and more.
What limited my learning? Which habits do I need to work on?
I think that when setting up the computer I got to confused and in struggle (luckily later two classmates helped me set this up) as well as this I think if I had spent more time reading the manual then experimenting i could've got much more done.
What will I change for next time? How will I improve my learning?
Next time the only major thing that i will change is my comparison of reading the manual compared to learning and experimenting on the source code creator. Overall despite the slight lack of improvement I did it was very fun and I did learn how to properly setup the computer and because of the time that I spent setting up the computer to actual code work will greatly improve in the next lesson.
