Markov Algorithm Avenger

For the Markov assignment, I worked with Erin Hurley and Mahmoud Oraby. Before jumping into the code, I took the time to map things out and brainstorm how I would approach the project. I also watched all the guide videos provided, which really helped me understand the requirements and gave me more confidence moving forward. My overall strategy was to break the problem into smaller, manageable parts and build each component step by step, especially focusing on the generation logic. Erin had a similar mindset—she planned things out on paper first and prioritized a clear and logical structure, which helped keep us organized. Looking back, I think I would improve my approach by spending a bit more time upfront visualizing the data flow. That would probably help catch bugs earlier and reduce the need for major rewrites later. According to my classmates, my code followed the Google Java Style Guide fairly well, though there were a few small formatting issues. Erin and Mahmoud's code was also clean and aligned with the style guide standards.

Balancing Beaches and Bytes: My Week 1 in the CS Online Program

Before the first week of my CS Online course started, I was happy to connect with my teammates early. I really enjoyed working with them. We shared ideas, created designs, and had fun being creative together. It was a great start, and working as a team helped us a lot. To be honest, when Week 1 of the course started, I was in Hawaii on vacation with my family. It’s not a usual way to begin a new class. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea. This course is very important to me because it helps me prepare for my future, and I didn’t want to fall behind. But at the same time, I knew that spending time with my family and making special memories in Hawaii was also important. So, I gave myself a challenge: Can I enjoy the vacation and still keep up with my school work? Here's a photo taken from my drone.  I’m really happy with how this course is set up . It has both group work and individual assignments. I enjoy working on my own because I can focus, but I also like working w...
