What is the value of a checklist?

One reasons why checklists are valuable is because they help concretize information better. It's easy to say you'll remember something when in fact, there's usually so much going on in our lives that it's easy to push that information back. Having something in front of you that reminds you what you need to do is important, especially if you tend to be scatterbrained. Building off of that, it also helps you prioritize the tasks that need to be done. Whether it's doing it out of importance or brevity, a checklist is a good way to keep your mind in order and focused.

What do you plan to improve upon while at Turing?

I would like to be able to think in a more logical way. Normally when I do tasks, I tend to do things more intuitively which has it's advantages but becomes a major obstacle when the workload gets too deep. Additionally, I've found myself thinking in circles when really, some problems can be solved if I'd sat down and thought of the solution more methodically.

Project Hang in There Group Member Names: Tyler Cornelius, Linus Leas

Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship: ##What are each of our learning goals for this project? What drives us in this project?

• Understanding, retaining and implenting what we've learned in class as well as getting better at researching and finding what our solutions are.

##What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches?

• We understand that Divinde and Conquer tactics, while they can be done more quickly, are often times inefficient when it comes to dealing with solutions due to a lack of communication. While paired programming is slower, because there's communication there are less errors that occur in the code which ultimately means less back tracking.

1. create an app that works like a magic 8 ball
2. create an Object Array
3. each object in the array will have a key value pair of a number, and an answer from 0 to 8- for example {1: "better luck next time!"}
4. create a function called shakeEight
5. within the function, create variable, outcomeShake
6. have outcomeShake equal Math.Random() function and multiply that by eightBallOutcomes.length
7. return eightballOutcomes[outcomeShake]
8. close function
9. ?????
10. Profit!!!!

Project: Idea Box

Group Member Names: Jim Charnesky, Naomi Ware, Linus Leas

Goals and Expectations for the Project: Naomi would like to be more proficient on gridding and CSS in general, especially regarding placement and styling. Jim would like to improve on his overall professionalism and workflow. Linus would like to improve on his knowledge on how git workflow occurs and be more knowledgable in framing div boxes in an HTML document.

Team strengths & collaboration styles (consider discussing your Pairin qualities here): Naomi's strength is communication and relaying information. Additionally she is persistant in that she's hard worker and empathetic towards others skill levels including her own. Jim is working on his communication skills but more importantly, he is detail oriented which is an important skill set for coding. Linus keeps calm and collected and can deal with stress moderately well. and is handsome.

How we can use our strengths to overcome obstacles: Naomi, because she is a calm person, l

#Pseudo Coding excercise

problem 1/7kyu

problem details:

The Western Suburbs Croquet Club has two categories of membership, Senior and Open. They would like your help with an application form that will tell prospective members which category they will be placed.

To be a senior, a member must be at least 55 years old and have a handicap greater than 7. In this croquet club, handicaps range from -2 to +26; the better the player the lower the handicap.

Input

Input will consist of a list of lists containing two items each. Each list contains information for a single potential member. Information consists of an integer for the person's age and an integer for the person's handicap.

Mod 1 Week 1: Understanding your strengths

Describe one of your strengths

One of my strengths is that I'm good at communicating ideas to other people and also enjoy teaching concepts as well. If we're in a group project, I enjoy taking time out to make sure everyone is on the same page.

What is something you have learned to do well (list a skill)?

I think I'm slowly getting better at looking at problems analytically. I tend to go on my intuition which sometimes is a quicker way of solving things but can end up making the process more laborius had I just taken my time with the problem.

What is something you know about (list some knowledge/expertise you have)?

I used to teach English as a second language so I learned how to listen and react to how the students learned. Being able to identify issues in learning and addressing them is really important and translates into other fields such as group projects

What is something you have a natural ability to do well (list a talent)?

I'm good at makin

Group Member Names: Jeff Woltjen and Linus Leas

Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?):

Jeff would like to implement github workflow, apply newly learned concepts in js, and become familiar with HTML and CSS. Linus would also like to familiarize himself with git workflow and reinforce concepts that have been learned in the past, and also write cleaner code. As a group, we want to build our understanding through the code that we write and be able to enunciate what is going and why we wrote it the way we did.

Team strengths & collaboration styles (consider discussing your Pairin qualities here):

Jeff uses inuition in solving problems and is able to reverse engineer solutions, Linus similarly works and think in the same way. Jeff likes to lead by example and likes for there to be a space for people to be heard. For Linus, he tends to be agreeable in groups, wishin

Template for DTR Memo Project: FitLit Refactor Group Project

Group Member Names: Leigh Larson, Steph Norton, Linus Leas

Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?):

For Leigh, she would like to get more familiar with tools like SASS and webpack, and writing accessible code. Additionally she would like to gain more experience in terms of working with real world projects. As for Steph, she would like to improve her refactoring skills, and getting familiarized with the new tools as well. Linus's goals are similar in that he would like a deeper understanding in the new technologies being implemented as well as having more experience with general project developement practices.

Team strengths & collaboration styles (consider discussing your Pairin qualities here):

Leigh is a leader and a hard worker to a fault. Technically, she is good with CSS and HTML and is apt at aq

Mod 2 Week 1: Building Habits to Become a Software Developer, Part II

1. Reflect on your habits from last module. What behaviors and activities were helpful for you? What activities and behaviors could be more effective for you? What processes would you like to try differently this module to become more effective at your work and as a software developer?

Pre-studying was very helpful and overall just being prepared and ready to go when classes start. Helping other classmates on problems also helped solidify concepts for me. I would like to get better sleep though as it was hard to concentrate without it

2. Setting intentions for this module: who do I want to be this module? What specific habits would help me get there? How are those habits tied to the identity of a software developer?
