The 2023 – 2024 school year is (almost) officially over. As is when anything is coming to an end, now is a prefect time to reflect on the year I’ve had in this class.
General Thoughts:
- We got through many more topics This year than we did last year. Some topics we could not continue due to one reason or another, so those projects were dropped. Despite this and the large amount of topics, I feel I did learn a sufficient amount on each topic.
- This year’s projects were WAY harder. We covered more complex topics and concepts, leading to many more bugs, confusion, and general misunderstandings.
- I was a teacher’s assistant for the underclassmen for this class for one block, so I was able to dedicate more time to projects that interested me.
