Semester End Reflection Throughout this semester, I learned about many new topics, perspectives, and skills that changed my views on programming. At first I was unsure about whether or not I should take this course because I did not know if programming was a topic I was interested in; however, reflecting back on that, I now know that taking this course was worth it and that I should continue to in the following years of High School. In this essay, I will reflect upon the various projects I completed throughout the course and how project-based learning aided me in becoming more of an independent learner. The first form of project that I took on was non-programming related; it was a home networking presentation. It was the first …show more content…

Although logically and learning-wise Python and MIT App Inventor were similar, they differed when it came to writing code; instead of placing blocks with functions, I had to type out each line of code. This made it important for me to memorize each function and to make note of which syntax errors cause my code not to work. Learning new syntax was challenging for me because the functions and orders differed from what I became used to App Inventor. If I were to relearn Python, I would spend less time trying to translate my learning from App Inventor to Python and I would spend more time creating my pseudocode. It would have been more effective for me to create a blueprint of what I planned to do (pseudocode) rather than to create a code with no structure. I am proud that I used various techniques to create code, structure-wise, in Python; however, in hindsight, this caused the project to take longer to complete. My biggest accomplishment in Python was being able to learn from my mistakes in previous programming-related projects and to correct those moving forward. An example of this was when my loops and if statements were not as effective as they could have been and I shortened them with the second attempt. Programming projects taught me that programming is not a very complicated thing and can be learned by almost anyone if there is the effort, will, and time put

I did have some trouble understanding what exactly was the project, but I now have some clue to what I'll be doing, however further clarification would help. I was able to find what was needed with no problem and complete what is now needed to be done. I've never used a the project section on black board before, but I don't think it will be anything difficult to use. I would guess that it something we'll need to be using for this class on our projects, but I'm not really sure, so I'll guess it's useful.

Initially, I was very exited to do this course. Everyday after school, I’d quickly finish my homework so I move on to this “fun” stuff. Now you may be surprised how eager a 12 year old was to program while his friends were outside playing. You see, I didn’t want to learn how to make this web crawler, I just wanted to make one or “download” one in a way.

In the very beginning of English 101, I was informed that homework will be daily and intense. Be prepared for class counted as participation grade, as well as speaking in class. I thought my papers needed to be up to the standards at the beginning of class because the syllabus set certain concerns by the way it was phrased. I was expected to summit my daily assignments on time and improve on my writing as the semester went by, and I was overwhelmed by such responsibility. That was how I first came into realization of my expectations that were needed to be met in order for me to pass the class.

To me, programming seems to align with everything in my life that was lacking security, normality, and “syntax.” Growing up acquainted with PTSD has allowed me to push through difficult times and stay determined. I believe that a person’s future is not based on the opportunities and privileges given to them but rather, the opportunities that they seek and go after. Therefore, my unfamiliarity with the world of computer science doesn’t stop me from being optimistic with my future scholastic success. I want to excel in a male dominant industry and be able to be in the position to empower other young women to go after their dreams.
