CST 338: Wk05 Learning Journal Markov

 

  • Who did you work with? 
    Tim Shaker

     
  • What was your strategy for solving the Markov assignment?
    My Strategy is the same as last time but with at the same time bringing along the few things I learn from my previous projects and peer reviews feed back. I try to read the whole project and understand what is needed. Briefly go over the test cases on what are being tested to understand the functions. When it actually comes to coding I've use my previous strategy of coding methods that doesn't uses any other methods. I code the field type and constructor first then jump to methods. I was able to run the code successfully initially but was giving the wrong output and only 2 test cases pass. That is the time I try to fix the bug 1 by 1. I look for where the bug is by debugging 1 test cases at a time. Stepping through the code and check the output each steps. Once everything is done and all test cases are passing and main is running, I add the javadocs for methods. At this point I understand everything fully so I can write proper documents for each methods and fields.

  • What strategy did your classmates use?
    First they read the documentation then scaffolded out the code so that everything was syntactically correct. From there, They implemented the code as it was described in the documentation. Once the tests were passing, I cleaned the code up a bit and added some javadocs.

  • How would you change your strategy having worked on the assignment?
    For this particular assignment I believe I was spending more time debugging and fixing the logic of my methods versus to setting up everything. Error logic is the worst bug one can encounter since the code runs with no error, so I am left to just stepping through everything and see where I did wrong. Maybe next time double or even triple check if methods are properly coded with the required logic.

     
  • According to your classmate(s): how well does your code follow the Google Java Style Guide
    • According to my peers everything was followed as expected. No major issues found when it comes to writing according to Google Java Style Guide

     Week 5   Part One: Support and Comment on Teammates' Goals Comment 1: https://edlcsonline.blogspot.com/2025/09/week-4-learning-journal-education-goals.html      Comment 2: https://alexandercsumb.blogspot.com/2025/09/my-educational-goal-in-cs-program-my.html?sc=1759716690276#c3901700382400993030     Part Two: Possible Capstone Ideas (30 minutes) These lists are subject to change but this is roughly what I imagine doing as of now.   CAD software or 3D Design software:  I currently work on projects that develops software to design dental products. 3D design software has always been my passion but for my software it would focus more on general objects that can be printed. It will probably be similar as Blender. I will try to make it as user friendly as possible. This project can help me learn more about graphics and optimization. The only thing that is making me hesitate to do this for future capstone project is the time. But this is definitely ...

      Part One: My Educational Goals My educational goal for  CS program is to have a strong foundation in computer science theory and practical skills. I should be able to design and develop software programs and computational solutions. Have a more effective problem-solving skills and be able to adapt easily in new and emerging technologies. Attaining my Bachelor Degree in Computer Science is also a goal of mine but I think it is enough. My the actual goal is to pass all the classes with clear understanding of what was taught and be able to retain it and apply some skills that I learn in the future. This goal of mine is a long term and far from being achieved. It will require discipline, consistency and patience. The short term goal that I have is to pass both CS 349 and CS 300. I believe we are halfway for this two courses and I should be able to achieve it soon as long as I keep doing my work and keep my grades up. Part Two: My Career Goal   My career goal as of right now...

         Module 2 lectures focuses on the present condition of business and company. I learned a lot starting from the the state of software industry. Innovation itself moves fast in today's age, and in order to keep up with it, people has to learn to adapt quickly as well. I also learn about different methodologies that company uses for software development. I was already aware of the two present method which are  agile  and  devops  as my current company uses this method but I learned about the continuous method . Essentially there were methods that was used in the pass which are Waterfall, Capability Maturity Model, and Rational Unified Process . I also learn more about project management. I learn that project management is mainly about planning, organizing and managing resources to achieve the goals that the group is trying to attain. Different tools and techniques on project management such as managing constrains that hinders in project development su...
