CST 338 – Software Design –Wk03 Learning Journal: Jotto Code Review

1.      Who did you work with?

I worked with Kelia Smith.

2.      Summarize the feedback you received about your code.

The feedback I received was mostly about using formatting with my print statements instead of using println. I also received some constructive feedback for showPlayerGuesses() method to handle all cases in the prompt. Lastly, I should add some comments throughout my code to make it easier to see the process I’m trying to implement. 

3.      What improvements would you make to your code/what was suggested?

I would like to use a string builder for showWordList(), showPlayerGuesses(), and do proper formatting for playerGuessScore(). I would also like to add some comments inside the methods to clarify the statements.

4.      Which unit tests were the hardest to pass?

I was not able to pass showWordList() because I needed to use a String Builder and getLetterCount() because I could not figure out the logic.

5.      How do the existing tests function and could they be improved?

1.      Do the existing unit tests cover the full range of Jotto functionality?

No, the existing test did not cover the full range of Jotto functionality.

2.      How would you change the unit tests?

I would have implemented a test for updateWordList() by adding a few words to the wordList  and send it to updateWordList() and compare the previous wordList with the returned wordList. For playerGuessScores() I would give it a new score and guess and compare the output with the correct output.

6.      What did you struggle with?

What I struggled with the most was time. I feel like I spend a lot of time researching because my programming skills are fairly basic. I did not complete the assignment as intended but I probably spent more time on it than most of the class.

7.      What did one of your teammate struggle with?

Lia struggled with getLetterCount() and the double letter issue. She also struggled with showPlayerGuesses() because she was prompting the user to “press enter to continue” im that method instead of the play method.

8.      What are you most proud of on your submission for Jotto?

What I am most proud of from my submission of Jotto is that I worked on it until the very end. I tried to make it work and did not give up until it was time to submit it. I’m also proud that I was able to run the test and run the Jotto driver even though the output was not as expected.

  Week 2- CST-300 Module 2 OLI – Module 2 This week’s module focused on collective intelligence, reading the mind in the eyes, behavior of good teams, and why team skills will help after graduation. Collective intelligence illustrated how teams that have better collaboration skills were more successful. Meaning that everyone participated and contributed to complete the task or project. Some key features of successful teams were equal participation, higher number of women, and social sensitivity. I enjoyed the reading the mind in the eyes activity. It is difficult to tell a person’s emotions by examining just their eyes and not the entire face or body language. I scored about average. I will continue to participate and share my thoughts and ideas on topics being discussed in my team. Behaviors of good teams was a research article done at google looking for the perfect team. They found that teams promote better job satisfaction, better problem solutions and faster innovation.

  Week 1- CST-300 Module 0 & 1 Team Resume Hello and welcome to my first post. This is a screen shot of our team resume. Although we ran into issues with some members missing, we eventually joined with another group and managed to collaborate on this assignment. Our team did an excellent job with their bios and completed the assignment on time. Module 1 Lecture   The readings from module 1 taught me about CSUMB's history and vision statement. It also covered the Degree programs from the School of Computing and Design and its faculty. The lecture also included a video titled "Study Tips to Succeed as an Online Student." The video taught me that I will need to read the syllabus, plan weekly study times, connect with classmates, check canvas frequently, and ask questions to be successful in this class.   Module 1 Lab   The lab for this week explains the American Psychological Association (APA) writing style. APA is the style used by the Computer Science departmen

  Week 3- CST-300 Module 3   OLI – Module 3 This week’s module is titled “What do You Bring to the Team?” and it is made up of six sections. The first section was Processing Styles and Diversity Communication. It explains approaches that would help an internal processor in your team. Some examples were to think silently for a minutes before discussing for answers, ask if members need more time before responding, and use email to communicate. The second section was Work Styles. Here we learned about work styles Get it Right – Task oriented, Get it Done – Task oriented, Get Along – people oriented, and Get Appreciation – People oriented. Each style had its strengths and weaknesses and we had to figure out how to balance them or how to help others with a different style. The third section was Your Booth Team Members. Here we watched a video of each booth member. We were then tasked with ways to support each member’s work style. The fourth section was Conflict Styles. It focuse
