DOCSE 5 Things

1. Camping Posts Feature
2. Deplyment Role: Frontend Documenter (frontend issue here)
3. Pruning unnecessary features, typos, etc on page
4. Planning issues for N@TM (standup meeting detailed notes/summary, UI order, Quick fixes before N@TM)
5. Notetaking during tech talks for team

Feedback on Full Project - Night at the Museum

Key Takeaways

• more styling: make it seem less like template project and more like a seperate page with its own style based on theme (camping/national parks) – customize page for Frostbyte
• make main page less cluttered: too much words, not ideal for a social media page

Overall, we recieved an average rating of 4.2/5 stars on our project at N@TM. For parents or in general anyone outside of the CSP course, they were pretty impressed and satisfied with our project. For CSP/CSA students, many of them noted that we should have a customized page theme as our current theme mainly follows the nighthawk coders layout.

Personal Ideas for improvement of site

• change layout of overall site, making it easy for user to navigate to the many subpages
• combine all homepages into one (landing page, camping page, national parks page)
• inspiration: Instagram layout

Project Feature Writeup

Camping Posts

• Camping posts: select a channel (different biomes), view and post under that channel
• Encourages user interaction and connecting under camping
• Future improvements: change layout of post box and feed, change buttons from black to a different color

Self Grade

Requirements	Grade	Reasoning
5 Things (5)	5	I acomplished and learned a lot of things this trimester and I believe that I put a lot of effort into my work, even though at times it wasn’t very good.
Full Stack Project Demo (2)	2	My team and I have worked for a while to get our project ready and following the CPT requirements. After revieiwng the feedback we got from N@TM, I have a clear idea of how our site could be improved in the future, overall our strengths and weakness on Frostbyte
Project Feature blog write up (1)	.5	I do have a feature that works and follows CPT requirements, but I’m still working on being able to comfortably and smoothly talk about my code.
MCQ (1)	1	I completed it and improved from my last score, though it isn’t an amazing grade I now know what topics to study harder in.
Ability to Impress (1)	.6	I feel that I’ve tried to present how I have been striving to improve throughout the trimester and with these developed skills I’ve accumulated, I’m hoping to continue in learning cs.

Total: 9.1/10

Strengths:

• blogging
• collaboration (improved over the trimester)
• creating diagrams and visuals
• recieving feedback

Weaknesses:

• staying in my comfort zone: in the future, push to do more diffcult tasks that require even more learning
• knowledge of CB material
