CS373 Fall 2020: Jordan Wang

What did you do this past week?

This past week was very busy for me. I had three tests, including a two-day test for this class, and I had a couple of interviews. There was a lot of studying this past week, but I feel like it ended up being pretty worth it. I also worked a little bit on the project for this class. The majority of this week was definitely spent on school work, so I didn’t really have free time to do whatever I wanted.

What’s in your way?

Not much is really in my way this week, as I got most of the stuff out of the way from this past week. However, I still have to complete the project due for this class, so I guess that is in my way.

What will you do next week?

Next week, I will continue to work on the project that is due early in the week. I also will attend my classes and try to get a head start on the next project. I also feel like I should schedule some free time next week for myself, because this past week was a very busy one for me.

If you read it, what did you think of The Liskov Substitution Principle?

Reading about the Liskov Substitution Principle was actually kind of interesting to me. I thought the example given with the Square and Rectangle class was really neat, and it definitely gave me a deeper understanding of the concept.

What was your experience of Test #1?

For the first day of test 1, I didn’t know what to really expect and was a little bit confused on the first question with the unpacking. The second day was definitely better, as I had expectations of what the test would look like going on, so I kind of new what to look for and what to study for.

What made you happy this week?

Something that made me happy this week was definitely finishing the week off. This past week was pretty stressful, so getting to the end of the week was very nice. Also, this weekend I was able to play football with some of my friends. The weather was very nice, and I haven’t played football in a while so it was a very enjoyable experience for me.

What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

My tip of the week is to step outside for a couple minutes and go on some walks. I have been doing this recently, and I feel like it has been really helpful and stress-relieving especially during this time of midterms and recruiting. Also, the weather is becoming pretty nice now, as the Texas hot summer is almost over. Going on these walks have been very therapeutic and a good break from school work.
