CST 489 Week 5

The section 2 Scrum videos were on why Scrum works so well in real projects. It focuses on keeping teams flexible, communicating often, and making steady progress instead of trying to plan everything perfectly upfront. I also liked the idea that the goal is always to deliver the most important work first, while constantly improving as the project moves forward.

While I have worked within Scrum teams before from a contributor perspective, this material helped me better understand the bigger picture of how everything fits together.

CST370 Week 3

 This week we went over BFS and DFS algorithms. We covered how BFS uses a FIFO queue, while DFS uses LIFO stacks. The first homework focused on DFS and used recursion to take advantage of the implicit stack. Our second assignment was on the Traveling Salesman Problem, using brute force to try all possible paths. Since the input could have up to 15 cities, the program had to generate and check every permutation, which really showed how quickly brute force becomes inefficient.

CST370 Week 5

     This week we went over Kahn’s algorithm, Quick Sort, and how to traverse a BST. I struggled a bit on my first read-through, but going step by step and writing things out helped a lot. Following the pointers in Quick Sort and tracking each step made it easier to understand. For Kahn’s algorithm, building the in degree table and manually popping nodes off my paper queue helped me visualize the process and work through it more clearly. Breaking things into smaller chunks made the material feel a lot more manageable.
