Introduction
In this unit we were assigned to complete a "thirteen hour" coding course online that teaches us how to code in python. Were were supposed to have the coding done in two weeks but the due date was extended due to a number of students no being able to finish on time.
project history
I found that the coding was a much more difficult corse than a thirteen hour online class. I really struggled towards the middle where some of the instruction was unclear and the examples were useless. I had to use the q&a forums many times to get an idea of what I was doing.
Reflections on the coding
Although I think I took about 35 hours to complete the coding course, It took a lot of frustration and persistence to get it done. I think I learned a lot from it, but I think its the kind of knowledge that I will forget quickly from lack of use. I never really got to use the coding for a real purpose outside of Codecademy, so although I liked this unit, I don't think it will be very helpful to me later. I also had a hard and frustrating time getting through it.
