I have been really enjoying this class so far. I have loved the combination of data analysis within a humanities context. I am feeling like I have fallen behind a little bit in this class while trying to keep up with everything else that I am trying to get done. I think that I am struggling a bit to understand the code we are doing as it gets more complicated. A pattern I have been noticing is that I will only fully understand the material from the previous lab, once we have already moved forward to working on new material. This means for me right now, that I am struggling with loops. I feel as though I have a good understanding of what the structure of the for loop should look like, however, no matter what I do, I seem to be missing some detail since I consistently am coming up with errors, specifically in Lab 6. I am planning to reach out to Professor Shrout to meet one on one or with my lab partner to discuss the details of this lab and Lab 5 as we fell short in completing Lab 5 as well.
As we move forward, I am optimistic that I will be able to catch up and keep up with the material. I think these days I have been feeling like I am constantly one step behind and have been stuck in that cycle. I am really excited for the remainder of this class and wish that I had taken this class sooner so I would have a chance to take another course with Professor Shrout.
