It was too hard! It was really hard to understand what I was doing, and I had to stop multiple times. For example, I was not sure what constants.PLOT_WIDTH was. It took lots of time for me to understand I just read from the class website as well, and why we need certain codes that were provided by our professor. Sometimes, when something is already given, and I understand that it is easy to just use it, but it might make a student feel very uncertain about what we are doing in every step. I also had some struggle when I realize that I also need to have turtle scales, I named them as turtle_x and turtle_y. I thought turtle is a point, and why it needs a scale again since turtle is just a point (this is how I thought intially), I don't think we need to consider any scale, but I had to recall how we used 'forward whatever number, like forward 40' when we draw things with turtle, so I was able to accept that idea that we also need to consider a new scale for the turtle. It was very very hard. Hum, I don't think this is top-bottom process work, even though check point 1 was very top to bottom, but what we did with coding, there are many little peices needs to be done and all of them were put together to complete work. However, even though the top to bottom work should be designed with some consideration of the opposite, bottom to top, I think it is more like what is the more emphasized for each project or task, we often work on top to bottom and bottom to top together simultaneously, maybe it's just me? But I don't see myself to seperate one from another completely to do any work either it is math work or computer sicence or getting a quick grocery for a dinner party. Human brain and mind are not like computer, so shouldn't we use top to bottom and bottom to top together at the same time? Another Program? My brain hearts now, so I don't know. When I see the scatter plot image on my computer screen, I was wondering if I can do box and whisker using python program. Is it possible? :) Excel is doing a job, but scales are not so great. The represenation on the paper is not always pretty, sometimes there are so many emphty spaces around the box and whiskers. Maybe python will give me more felxibility to what parts I want to show only as a final result.

I forgot to submit checkpoint 2 reflection earlier. I am not sure what kind of thinking I am doing. Top to bottom vs bottom to top? I kept trying to thinking which one I am using while I am working on checkpoint 2 assignment questions, but I still don't know. I intially thought it is top to bottom, but at the end of the work, bottom to top would be more reasonable apporach. I was continuously thinking of why we would need 'ratio' or 'scale', and it was very difficult to figure ratio and scale at first, and I made many mistakes. Once I think of the whole reason why we would need to use those concepts and how those ideas would be used on the computer screen monitor to create scatter plot, it gets more easier to understand the whole process or reason I need to learn. This is the assignment I talked to many people. I didn't do the work with them, but I asked many questions. The questions was not necessary about what to type, but I had many why questions. There were many metaphors used in their explanation, which I thought intersting.

I am not sure if I did submit checkpoint 1. I was very confused and unsure what I am supposed to do. I guessed that I have to write down the steps to create a scatter plot, but I realized that the process is not as intuitive as I assumed. I know I did not do well for checkpoint 1, I still think of how I would create scatter plot on the paper with pencil.

10 questions seemed to be a lot at first, but I realized that there are some redundancy, so many new questions can be easily solved by adding or twicking a bit the work from the previous work. So, it was not too bad.

After drawing K, L, and O, I tried to do E. I used a function to draw some part of the letter, E. I named the function 'arm' and repeated the same process.

I learned how to do circle, I tested to see if the starting point is the center of a circle or one of the point on the circle, and I learend the starting point is a part of the circle, not the center of the circle I am trying to draw. Penup and pendown steps need to added after my first attempt. It was fun.

After failing, I sketched a letter K shape on the piece of paper again. Second sketch was bigger and more clear by using a grid paper. It helps a lot.

If the work is shared and created with other people, if the work is not my own individual work, docstrings could be useful for effective communication. If all the team members has the decent computer programming skills, the codes themselves should be enough information for them to understand each others' work and inputs, but if some people are more advanced than others, and some are still learning, then docstrings could be very useful to have, it might not be the most effective or efficient ways to communicate among coders, but it might be much easier to start off a conversation. Yes, I will use docstrings. # -----------------------------------------------------------------

checkpoint 2 was much easier than checkpoint 1. It was intersting that maximum does not really include the maximum number I intended to have, so I revised maximum by adding plus 1, and this allowed me to have the maximum number I planned to have in outcome page. I did not feel I was struggling with checkpoint 2, I am still processing checkpoint 1 question though.

I had to think about the function of brackets, and I learned that the items inside of the brackets makes a list. Listing multiple items with commas does not create what we are trying to draw, we need to add 'for-loop' and the language 'for size in sizes' was not understood intuitively. I am unsure if I fully understand all of this yet, but manage to mimick the process.
