Learning Journal Unit 2

1. Describe what you did. This does not mean that you copy and paste from what you have
posted or the assignments you have prepared. You need to describe what you did and how
you did it.

I started this week by assessing my peer’s programming assignment that was assign to
me, then, I moved on to reading the learning guide, watching the videos that was there and
reading section 1-6 from chapter 3 of Eck (2019) that was recommended. When I was done, I did
the discussion assignment. the discussion assignment was about the differences between The for
loop, the while loop and the do-while loop in Java and how we can use them, I wrote short
summary about this and provided some sample code for each of them also I revisited the
textbook and some websites like GeeksforGeek . When I was done with the discussion forum, I
did the programming assignment that was given. This course CS 1102 is going in-depth in Java
programming language week by week.

2. Describe your reactions to what you did.

I felt good about what I did but sometimes things get harder for me. The environment in
UoPeople, Peers and Instructors is a very helpful encouraging one. When assessing my
colleagues work, I could see that one of them really had a hard time doing the assignment while
others had a great time and did great in their assignment. It was not easy for me to get around the
programming assignment not because it was hard but rather because a single mistake can spoil
your whole program. At felt very good when submitting my program to be assessed.
Programming takes a lot of time but it is all worth it.

3. Describe any feedback you received or any specific interactions you had. Discuss how
they were helpful.

This week, the discussion forum environment was pretty good. I again received good
feedbacks and comments from my peers this week saying that they really loved my work and
enjoyed the way I responded to the discussion assignment. The comments were really helpful
because it helped me see where I made mistakes in my post and now I can improve next time
thank to them.

4. Describe your feelings and attitudes.

I feel very excited toward CS1102 programming I, for, I am so ready to learn more about
programming languages more precisely Java.
5. Describe what you learned.

This week, I have learned the differences between the while, do-while and for loop. I
have also learned how to implement those loops in a java program. Secondly I learned how to
use the if and switch branching structures.
