CS371P Fall 2020: Grant Larson

- What did you do this past week?
This past week I didn’t accomplish too terribly much, although I did make some progress on Phase III of the IDB project for CS373. - What’s in your way?
Nothing’s in my way at this point. - What will you do next week?
Next week I will continue working on Phase III of the IDB project for CS373 and work with my partner on the Darwin project. Additionally, I have two exams for my Japanese class next week, so I’ll need to study for those. - If you read it, what did you think of THE INTERFACE SEGREGATION PRINCIPLE?
I thought it was an interesting read! It definitely felt similar to some of our past readings with the focus on creating modular code that only affects itself and its dependencies rather than the code base as a whole. It makes sense that interfaces should be as lean as possible to avoid having to implement unnecessary methods in classes that inherit from the interface. - What was your experience of continuing to implement STD::VECTOR?
My experience was good! It would definitely be beneficial for me to go back and review the notes, but what we covered made sense, and the method headers were mostly straightforward in my opinion! - What made you happy this week?
This week I had nothing due in my classes on Friday! It was nice to relax more than usual on Thursday evening, and hopefully, it will help me be somewhat more productive than usual on Sunday! Additionally, I seem to have salvaged my current campaign in XCOM 2! It’s nothing much, but due to the research path I had taken, I was falling behind in health and damage scaling to the point where I may have had to forfeit the several hours I had invested into the run and start over! - What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
My pick of the week this week is Coursicle! It’s an online tool that lets you visualize potential schedules for your courses as registration draws near! I’ll be using it sometime this weekend to help figure out my classes for next semester!
