Python is one of the fastest growing programming languages and learning it has been my goal for a very long time. There is an online platform called manocha academy which offers a python course. My goal was to try and stay committed to learning python.
LO1 – Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth
In the process of learning Python, I encountered a particularly challenging concept known as concatenation. Despite multiple attempts to understand it, I still struggle with it. Recognizing this as a weakness, I’ve committed to enhancing my understanding by actively engaging in coding projects that include concatenation alongside other concepts. This experience shows the importance of recognizing both strengths and weaknesses in programming, as proficiency in one area doesn’t guarantee it in others within coding projects’ integrated nature.
LO2 – Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills
In an online course, challenges arose due to internet connectivity, which disrupted consistency in participation. Managing school responsibilities along with periods of diminished motivation made it difficult to maintain focus on the course material. Recognizing the need for improvement, I planned to implement a strategy of maintaining a note to ensure consistency in my engagement with future courses.
LO4 – Show perseverance and commitment in CAS experience.
Given the self-paced nature of the course.commitment proved important , as there was no external supervision to ensure progress. This emphasized the significance of personal discipline in staying on track. It’s evident that success doesn’t come without effort, and prioritizing commitment is essential for achieving goals in life.
My learning in this activity can help the community in many ways. Through my knowledge I can develop informative websites, fun patterns for kids to engage in, easy math calculators, and much more. I can also teach my knowledge to little kids passionate about coding.
