Today we went over the apprentices handbook and
what to do and what not to do. Also we talked about what to wear and
how to act in a work setting. We got our forms today and
also we talked about work relationships. How u should
not have a special relationship with someone at work because
it could create conflict.

Today we learned about problem solving and binary functions and how the computer
reads things. Dr.panoff taught us today about what a computer reads and how
it can't read all numbers and can only read so much for example if you put
in a x on a calculator it would equal to ten because that's how a calculator
reads it also the samething with pemdas. Also we talked about the different
types of problem solving and how their are different ways to solve a certain problem.
This was really cool to me because I saw that their r always different directions
u can go and lead up on the same path.

Today we learned about agent’s sheets and how it works. I am not too
good at agents sheets it is difficult for me but overall time I will get better.
I was confused about the language and how to use it that’s where I was really
messing up at. But as the day went on that day I got better with a lot of help
from Iain and Phil. I feel I will need help in the future especially with counter
I don’t fully understand how that works. Overall, today was a confusing day and
I will need more practice , work , and understanding of agents sheets.

Today we worked on our projects with our partners. My partner is Leisle we decided
to split up work and she would work on agents’ sheet and I would work on vensim.
This was somewhat confusing but we started to get the hang of it with some help
from Iain. My vensim model was on tagged fish, non-tagged fish , tagged seals ,
and non-tagged seals. We had to create a vensim that when we made it , it would
look like the graph Phil had showed us. Overall we had a good day of work today
because we had finished the whole project by the end of the day

Today we presented our projects we have been working on for the past two saturdays
these projects were hard and very difficult. I worked with my partner on this she
helped me along the way we both worked with each other on how to get things done.
Presenting my project was very different for me today , I was a little nervous at first
because I didn't know what the mentors would think. Then as i went along the nerves
started to go away and I felt more and more confident about my presentation.

console log.

for me but i feel like i am starting to get it

Today i learned about Inkscape and how to work it. Also i made a logo which you
will be able to see on my website next to my name. This was not very hard due
to the tutorial that was given to me to follow. But the hard part was trying to
come up with a idea for my logo. This took me a long time to be creative and think
of logo to make. It also took a lot of help from friends to come up with this
i liked this challenge because it made me think very hard. But overall i learned
about Inkscape and how to use it.
