So, this is a bit of a shocker to me but: this assignment made sense. Sure there was a moment at the beginning where I thought crying into my tea was the best option but after a bit of trial and error things just made sense. I’m not saying they were easy; they still took […]
Category: Module 3 Assignment Thinking With Data
This week’s assignments were very interesting, but certainly tricky in some spots. As seems to be the consensus for those posts I’ve read, I did prefer the Observable task over that in Colab, in part because Observable automatically implements changes made in one cell to all cells that use that information (i.e. no need to […]
I had an easier time working through the Observable assignment than the Colab assignment. Python seemed to have a lot more variables to get lost in than Javascript and I had a hard time keeping track of where exactly I was supposed to be looking and editing. I also preferred Observable automatically implementing any changes, […]
I thought that the Observable assignment was relatively easy, becayse the page was laid out in a clean, easy to follow fashion, and the progression made more sense to me for whatever reason. Observable was fun to mess around with, and Javascript seemed less complicated than Python, for me anyway. The Colab assignment, on the […]
Below are my assignments for Module 3. I think I enjoyed python more than javascript- I don’t know how to phrase it, but it just seems more direct to me (if that means anything!). I don’t necessarily mind being frustrated by the small mistakes with big impacts (or at least big error messages – which […]
My Colab assignment is here and my Observable assignment is here. I enjoyed working with both of these platforms, as I’ve never used either before and they’re both useful tools for learning and practicing new programming languages without any barriers to entry – no need to download any software or do anything complex to just […]
Initially, I was most worried about Python, but I think both assignments turned out okay! I think my biggest difficulty when it comes to programming has always been trying to convince my brain to see and understand how the language itself works. Something about it- maybe because it requires users to be super specific in […]
I feel like such a noob to coding when I try to read the directions, then have to reread the directions, and then perform the functions; but I got through it! (I think). I like how in Observable I don’t have to press play every time I want to perform a function, unlike Colab. How […]
It’s like learning an entirely new language despite the fact that it was all in English (I think at least.) I did like being able to see results each time I made a change. When I was working in Atom, there were extra steps to see the effects of the changes I thought I was […]
This assignment gave me mixed feelings– I did the Intro to Observable first, it went so well. I did it in less than fifteen minutes, which is by far the shortest amount of time anything in this class has taken me, and I was feeling really good about that. Then came the Intro to Colab, […]
