Description – What happened?
The course included hands-on projects, live sessions, and networking opportunities. Initially, I struggled with some coding syntax concepts but gradually improved by immersing myself in more projects and group work tasks.
2. Feelings – What were you thinking and feeling?
At first, I felt excited but also nervous because I had limited experience with Python.
During the course, I sometimes felt overwhelmed by the pace and the terminology used in the syntax code.
3. Evaluation – What was good and bad about the experience?
Positive aspects:
Dan Petrusow and Leigh Christodoulou were very helpful and were quick to respond when I needed help, and I connected with peers who had similar goals.
Negative aspects:
The workload was intense, making it hard to balance with other commitments.
Some topics, like machine learning and AI, felt rushed due to time constraints.
4. Analysis – What sense can you make of the situation?
The structured curriculum and hands-on projects were beneficial, but I realized I needed to manage my time better. I also learned that asking questions early could have helped me grasp concepts faster.
5. Conclusion – What else could you have done?
I could have planned my schedule better and engaged more in discussions. Watching supplementary tutorials might have helped reinforce difficult concepts
6. Action Plan – If it happened again, what would you do?
Set aside dedicated study time and actively get more feedback on projects from the tutor. Work on additional projects to reinforce learning during my bootcamp and after the bootcamp is finished.
