When I create the UML Diagram, I notice that I am able to think of factors that I would have not been able to do so if I was attempting to do it all mentally.  One victory that I'd like to highlight is my understanding of how Java works, and various different methods and how to use them appropriately, such as setters, getters, Constructors, creating testing cases for each respective method, this is important because it runs test against a certain method and ensured that they are configured...

Yes, after reviewing the document/videos I started writing code right away.  Did you plan it out on paper?  I didn't plan it out on paper, I worked from //TODOs and the Markov - Google docs.   Monica stated that her strategy entailed the following, “ first read the prompt all the way through. Afterwards, I went through the prompt again to begin the skeleton of each method, and inserted comments of what was supposed to be done in each method. Then I implemented it before finally running the tests.” Regarding " change your strategy having worked on the assignment" , n ext time I would start by creating an offline copy o...

With whom did you work? Raquel, Jeremy, Monica. What was your strategy for solving the assignments? 2a. My strategy for solving the assignments is to perform research and watch the instructors’ videos, & documentation before starting on the assignments. 3.       Did you start writing code right away? Did you plan it out on paper? 3a. I did not write code right away, I read thoroughly the assignments but did not get a chance to plan on paper, instead I copied over the instructions onto another google documents so I can edit the instructions and make personal notes on it as I progressed. What was THEIR strategy for solving the assignments 4a. Their strategy for solv...
