I had a general idea of what to expect, going into this class. I think that computer science is easy to learn, but difficult to follow through because of the long hours of coding, building, and editing that goes on behind the scenes. ]]> 2019-05-23 17:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tunisia_mitchell/tywlsqueens/wish/363038162 https://padlet.com/tunisia_mitchell/tywlsqueens/wish/363038230 I felt excited about the class and expected large amounts of coding and programming.]]> 2019-05-23 17:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tunisia_mitchell/tywlsqueens/wish/363038230 I thought it is very interesting because of the program that goes into making anything that is related to tech https://padlet.com/tunisia_mitchell/tywlsqueens/wish/363038240

I'm not entirely sure as to what I'm meant to do with this extra knowledge. However, I think it could be beneficial when I decide on what career I want to go into.
