CSE 160 From end of homework survey in 14wi for HW2: "What do you wish you had known before you started? What would you do differently? What advice would you offer to future students?" ------------------------------------------------ Read and re-read the instructions carefully. If I could do the homework again, I would make sure I read through the questions carefully and didn't leave the answer text until two hours before the homework was due. I would tell future students to never leave anything to the last minute when it comes to programming. I wish I'd known how to navigate the terminal window. In the future, I'd read what the question was asking for MUCH more carefully and would advise other students to do the same. I had a lot of trouble getting the command prompt to work - it wouldn't accept 'python' as a command, and I had to go online and change a lot of stuff deep in the properties of My Computer to get it to work. That was the only real frustrating part. Everything was fine after that. This assignment came easily to me (compared to homework 1) - it appeared more daunting initially than it actually was. I wish I would have asked more questions about loop. Go to more office hours. For future students - they should go to office hours more. "Nothing except problem 6. Problem 6 is not a typical programming question (I guess?), but it's fun." Read the instructions carefully Command prompt copying and pasting was a little weird to figure out. I wish I knew how to use a difference checker. I wish I had known how to do this from scratch because, although I feel like I did a lot of coding, I don't fully understand what the program I'm using is doing. My advice is to pay close attention to examples in lecture/readings and see how the same principles can apply to excercises like this.
