Weekly Journal : OOGASalad Midpoint Project Reflection

Advances are made by answering questions. Discoveries are made by questioning answers. — Bernard Haisch

For this entry, take a some time to reflect on the project's progress at approximately its midpoint, by analyzing your own role on the team and drawing conclusions about how the final outcome could be improved. These efforts at meta-cognition helps you deepen your learning by making you more aware of your own thinking and more active in your education.

Specification

AI LLMs

AI LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or CoPilot can help you generate ideas, create example code, review, refactor, or even debug code. While you are not required to use it, if you do, please share how you used it in more detail than would typically be found when attributing it within your code or README file.

• Describe two situations in which you sought help from an LLM and whether or not its responses were ultimately helpful
• Describe one situation in which you refined an LLM's response and what information learned in this course helped you engineer your prompts or evaluate its response
• Give three direct prompts you provided an LLM (also note which version you are using)

Project Midpoint Reflection

Reflect on the project's progress, planning and tracking it using Agile guidelines, and what you can still do to improve over the remainder of the project.

Use the following questions to guide your reflection:

• Consider the scope of the project you are in the middle of working on
  • Describe one challenging design issue you have worked on
  • Describe the most challenging design issue the team has faced and how it was approached, discussed, and "solved"
  • Describe the best aspect of working on a project with this many people
  • Describe the most challenging aspect of working on a project with this many people
  • Describe the best aspect of organizing a project using Agile Sprints
  • Describe the most challenging aspect of organizing a project using Agile Sprints
• Think about what practices, rather than the work you have produced so far, can best help you finish the project successfully
  • Visualize and then describe what would be a successful outcome for this project
  • Visualize and then describe what would be a unsuccessful outcome for this project
  • Based on those visions, what things do you personally have control over to help make it successful
