Projects
HLD Website
Our first project was to make this website. We were directed to the cite making tutorials on the Shodor website, and then had to create a basic website with a Home, Blog, and Portfolio page. We will further improve on this basic website as we go on through the Apprenticeship Program.
Ethics Homework
In order to be able to deal with the events and issues going on among my coworkers and be able to bring the productivity back on track, it would be best to approach Troy, Susan, Andy, and Shanetta in a friendly manner so that they would not feel threatened to work harder, but be motivated to do the best job that they can. I will have a meeting with each teammate individually in their free time outside of work in a casual environment, such as a lunch diner, and discuss their current situation in terms of work and their lives. I do not want to be too intrusive in their personal lives, but instead ask them how it is affecting their work and ask if I can help them in any way possible. If there is any issue with any of my teammates, such as an altercation in Andy’s divorce or Susan having a family emergency, I will make sure to be there for them and inform the other members of the team to make sure that we can effectively stay on task and on time with the project without lagging too far behind. I will continue to help out where I am needed and be a supportive and motivating team leader without making the work unbearable.
Programming Concepts Excel Sheet
Programming Concepts
In this sheet, we learned about simple functions, slider bars, and push bars within excel. We added the populations of cats and dogs, and made a basic graphable function in the form of y = mx + b.
Iteration Examples
Iteration Examples
In this sheet, we learned about steps in a function on excel. We also learned about how to diffuse numbers into surrounding blocks and having colors represent the numbers.
Simple Population Excel Sheet
Simple Population
This sheet introduced us to how variables change the outcome of a population, and how doing one time step adjusts the numbers.
Change vs. Behavior Vensim Model
Change vs. Behavior Model
This Vensim model demonstrated how making a change to the value of a constant alters the behavior of the model's outcome.
Rabbits in Vensim
Rabbits Model
In this model we observed how changes in the birth and death rate of a rabbit population will alter the population's overall trend.
Healthy & Sick Vensim Model
Healthy & Sick Model
This model introduced a basic version of the classic SIR model, with sick and healthy. The healthy have a chance to become sick, and nothing happens to them after becoming sick.
Healthy & Sick Vensim Model Extensions
Healthy & Sick Model Extensions
This model was an extension of the SIR model that we made together. I added a new population of cured people who are infected people that got better. I also added a death rate and death to the sick population.
Thing 1 AgentCubes Model
Thing 1
Basic Agent Cubes model where the fly moves randomly in the room and if it is next to the window it escapes the room.
Disease AgentCubes Model
Disease
A basic SIR model where any person moves randomly on the world but an infected person has only a certain chance to move. If an infected person is next to a healthy person, it has an infection rate where that rate determines what is the chance that it will infect the healthy person. Each person has a clock for how long they are infected, and if they are infected for a certain amount of time steps then they become healthy, and if a person becomes healthy then the clock resets to zero.
