What are three new things you have learnt about yourself and your ego due to the core learning?
- I learned I can push through tough coding challenges.
- I discovered asking for help is okay and makes me better.
- I found out I don't have to be perfect right away, taking small steps is good too.
What are the role of values, empathy, and self-awareness in learning and programming?
Values are important because they help programmers make good decisions based on what they believe is right.
Empathy means understanding and caring about other people's feelings, which helps programmers create software that meets users' needs.
Self-awareness means knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, which helps programmers improve and learn more effectively. These things are all important for learning and doing programming well.
What has surprised you the most about the core learning?
The most surprising thing was how interconnected all the concepts are, seeing how they all fit together in programming.
What were the most challenging aspects of the core learning?
I liked learning the basics, even though it was tough sometimes. But figuring out how to solve problems was exciting, so I don't really remember which part was the hardest.
Why do you think we, a programming school, are spending so much time focusing on core learning in a web development Bootcamp course?
- The school wants us to be good at more than just coding, like teamwork and making good choices.
- Learning core ideas helps us see why coding matters and how it fits into the real world.
Does the time you spent studying core learning here feel like a waste of time? Should you have just used that time to practise programming instead?
No, I don't think studying core learning here was a waste of time. It's important to understand the basics because they help you become better at programming later on. While practicing programming is also important, knowing the fundamentals sets a strong foundation for future learning and problem-solving.
