CSE 110: Introduction to Programming

Final Course Reflection

Seek and expect miracles.

Moroni assured us that “God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.” Every book of scripture demonstrates how willing the Lord is to intervene in the lives of those who believe in Him. He parted the Red Sea for Moses, helped Nephi retrieve the brass plates, and restored His Church through the Prophet Joseph Smith. Each of these miracles took time and may not have been exactly what those individuals originally requested from the Lord.

In the same way, the Lord will bless you with miracles if you believe in Him, “doubting nothing.” Do the spiritual work to seek miracles. Prayerfully ask God to help you exercise that kind of faith. I promise that you can experience for yourself that Jesus Christ “giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.” Few things will accelerate your spiritual momentum more than realizing the Lord is helping you to move a mountain in your life.

--Russell M. Nelson, The Power of Spiritual Momentum, April 2022 General Conference

Overview

Congratulations! You have successfully completed CSE 110.

During this course you have learned to write programs to solve meaningful problems in a variety of domains. This was the major outcome of this course.

Another outcome of the course was for you to develop confidence that you can continue to learn new programming concepts. Even though it may have been challenging at times, you have shown skill in thinking analytically, breaking down problems into manageable pieces, working with others, and debugging abstract problems. These are skills that will transfer to any field of study or career path that you may choose.

To help you and the university reflect on the progress toward this outcome, you are asked to do two things as you complete this course:

  1. Write a personal reflection document that answers the provided questions.

  2. Fill out an Canvas quiz as a self-assessment of this outcome.

    Your responses do not affect your grade, but it helps the course designers see how successful this course was at achieving its goals.

Instructions:

  1. Download the Reflection Document Template.
  2. Answer each question thoroughly (at least 3 sentences each).
  3. Return to Canvas to:
    1. Submit your reflection document.
    2. Take the outcome self-assessment quiz.
