I know it was recommended to have a group of 2-3 people and work together and explain things to each other and make the world full of rainbows and unicorns and happiness, but I decided not to listen. I really don't know why... I guess I thought that, with my busy schedule, it would just be easier to work alone on my own, and I wouldn't have to worry about finding time that's convenient for the rest of the group. Well. That was kind of dumb of me. If you're reading this, don't ever do that. It's dumb.
It also doesn't help that I waited till about the last 1 or 2 days possible to get started...Yeah, not a good idea.
Honestly, it wasn't totally terrible or anything. I still got it done and I think I have a good grasp on most of the things. I just would have saved myself a lot of stress and confusion if I had worked with a couple of other students. Oh, well. Next time :)
Well, to be honest, I'll probably end up working alone again next time. You know it's true. But it's the thought that counts, right? :D
Here's another picture of a turtle. It's a baby turtle.
In higher level computer science courses, there will be longer and more difficult assignments and projects and it will be almost impossible to do them by yourself. In some courses you will be required to have a group anyways. It would be a good idea to start forming groups with people, make friends, and find people that you're a good match to work with so that you will work together in the future. Two or more heads are better than one anyways; especially in our science where creativity and ideas are a must! :)
