Outreach & Networking Plan
As we've discussed, meeting people, forming relationships, and having conversations are the key pieces to getting your foot in the door at any company. It's important to be proactive in your approach to outreach and networking, so it's necessary to make a plan for what you'll try to further your networking.
Identify a contact you will reach out to by the end of this module. This could be a mentor, alum,
What is one thing that went unusually well during this project?
In hindsight, is there anything you would have done differently?
Narrow it down to the following key points:
Who are you? Why are you here? Where do you want to go next?
I am the daughter of former undocumented immigrants, formerly undocumented myself. Growing up, I didn’t understand the significance of that, however, thinking back I recognize that multiple obstacles stacked up against me the moment my parents made the difficult decision to leave our humble home in the middle of a rural farming community in Mexico. Their decision setup a chain of events that over the years, have taught me many things. As I watched my parents
Deliverables are due 5:00 pm Saturday, Mar 14th. Submissions will not be accepted after that time. Prework must be completed in its entirety in order to attend class on Monday.
Answer these Check for Understanding questions as you work through the assignments.

Project: Battleship, BE 2001
Group Member Names: Ana Pérez Santos, Ethan Hocking
Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?):
Individual Ana - Be more comfortable working independently, while working in a colloborative project; complete iteration 3; learn to review code
Goal (what is the goal): Specific (What do you want to accomplish? Who needs to be included? When do you want to do this? Why is this a goal?):
Measurable (How can you measure progress and know if you’ve successfully met your goal?):
In interviews, you'll be asked about how you approach working in projects, and being able to describe how you utilize agile processes is a great way to help you stand out as a junior developer candidate. This reflection is meant to help you develop this skill. With that in mind, please answer the following questions in your own gist about your group project:
What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects? It requires plenty of communication for agile projects to work well. This statement is still true. Additionally, I would say that bringing different perspectives to a project is essential because it helps develop great ideas, and you have others to check your understanding.
How did you and your group approach project management in this project (what tools did you use, how did you hold each other accountable, etc.)?
My gains this week include having a better understanindg of hashes, specifically how to access information within them. I feel more comfortable with the creation of initial tests, and can understand the logic better, even if I cannot quite put my thoughts into code right away.
As I reflect on what I've accomplished thus far, I also recognize that I need to do further work on iterations/enumerables, specifically when to use which method. Also, ask more questions when I don't understand something.
Project: Battleship - paired
Summary
Battleship is a partner project that introduces students to pairing through collaboration on building a battleship game. The game has multiple components, such as ships, cells, board, game, and runner. Using TDD (test driven design), partners build a battleship game in which a player plays with the computer. There are three main ways of pairing: driver/navigator,
