Electric Circuits 9/28

Personally even though I already have taken Physics and have learned about circuits it was a bit challenging the way we learned circuits in class. I thought that the way voltage, current, and resistance behave in a circuit (voltage is constant in parallel) could have been explained in more detail or in a better way. I found that it was also very hard to pay attention and learn because of the shear number of people in the room and because of people having their own side conversations. The way basic electrical circuits was taught worked well it could just use a few minor tweaks.

Learning HTML/CSS 9/28

I think that the way we learned HTML and CSS worked. While the methods and programs we used to learn HTML and CSS probably could have been better they did the. Most of the problems I had with code avengers was the fact that it was picky about certain things and because it was just annoying at times. There also isn't much to learn for HTML and CSS its all attributes and tags which can easily be looked up. I think that the amount of time we spent learning HTML and CSS was reasonable. I wish we would have learned the very basics of Python before we started working with Google app engine. In general code avengers worked  but it did not prepare us enough for the CSS project 2.

Learning Linked Lists 9/28

When faced with the problem of being told to learn linked lists I was at first, confused. I had actually missed the class when we had been given the task so I had some catching up to do. At first linked lists seem pointless and they still kind of do. Arrays accomplish the same thing except that you can not control the memory usage like in linked lists since arrays are automatically made by the computer. I started of learning linked lists by I was able to learn linked lists was that I partnered up with someone to share what we had learned. As we encountered problems in our code we would help each other to try and figure out what the issue was. While this assignment was a challenge it was a unique learning experience to learn this way.
