Week X

Check-In

I Need Help With: I still am not very good at reading code because I still don't understand JS and debugging is hard when you don't understand code yet

What went well? I see the idea and purpose of debugging and I believe it is something I could be good at, I like to spy for things, but I need to understand JS first

What went less well? JS and trying to understand it... I found some great tutorials, but like with Github I might need to look them through a couple of times to really understand

Lessons Learned: don't give up

Sunday Prep Work I am trying to tackle 50% JS and 50% Debugging for Sunday

I still am not very good at reading code because I still don't understand JS and debugging is hard when you don't understand code yet

Let us know if you need anything explained! 🙂 A big chunk of code can seem overwhelming at first but when you take a look at it line by line, you will see that you can understand most of it and the parts you don't get, you can just google! Keep going and you will get there! 💪

@arnochauveau Thanks for the motivating words... just had a great call with Evan on debugging and starting to see how it all connects with the code (small light bulbs are turning on) LOL

Week 11

Check-In

I Need Help With:

I have not be able to study very much during the holidays and I am falling behind. I try and do a little bit everyday but still it seems like it is not enough for me to get the grasp on everything (I know I do not need to know everything by now) but my brain forgets and I have to start over again, so it takes much longer. I have been in study groups and that helps a lot but it takes me quite some time to understand things and I might have to have it repeated several times. When I do the exercises by myself I sometimes even do not understand what kind of value that needs to go in (true, false, 1, 0,y,x,z...) even after looking at the examples and if there is a guide.

What went well?

study group always is a very big help

What went less well?

I try to watch tutorials on the same topic but will probably have to watch again a few times... I did a section on while loops on Codecademy (long time ago) so rewatching tutorials and trying to do the exercises, but got stuck.

Lessons Learned

My time management is really not good at the moment Talk to my coaches

Sunday Prep Work

Understanding functions and loops (amongst a lot of other things)

Week 12

Check-In

I Need Help With: I feel like I am falling behind and it is not just 1,2 to 3 things it is the whole Welcome to JS and Debugging chapter. I feel like I need to go through the again because the full understanding or even partial understanding is not there yet.

What went well? I was able to join study group almost everyday this week... but because I do not fully understand even some basic things I will follow but not able to contribute.

What went less well? I still feel very blank when it comes to code... when working in the group I see everybody knows what to write in the code given and even make code cleaner and better where I am not even sure still what to put in the blanks.

Lessons Learned: Nothing

Sunday Prep Work I started looking a bit at next chapter but it is extremely overwhelming when I feel I am 2 charts behind

One thing i can suggest to you is make a list of the things that have understood till now and things that you still are confused about from this module(you can use the check list above as an example) . Then you can see a clear path on what you have to concentrate on.

You don't have to study everything that is on the suggested studies And this is not a competition with your classmates but yourself. know learning a new language can be overwhelming but its not impossible.

Let us know if you need any help from us!

And to Quote you ' Lessons Learned: don't give up'

sannesofie commented 2 years ago

That is a good idea 🤩 Thanks will try that
