NOTE 1: View the "Creating an Interactive World in Alice Applying Analysis and Deduction" presentation before attempting this activity!
The purpose of Alice is to teach you, the student, basics of computer programming without having to focus on actual code. Alice provides a foreshadowing of what is to come if you have chosen computer science/information systems as your field of study. All assignments train a student to think through the logic needed to create each assignment. In computer science this is called algorithm design. View the "Creating an Interactive World in Alice Applying Analysis and Deduction" presentation in Week 8 then answer the following questions in relation to your learning experiences in this course with Alice.
How have you approached analyzing programming requirements for the Alice exercises in this course in order to create the algorithms you have completed? How did using deductive reasoning allow you to layout your program logically in order to achieve the program requirements? Did your program design change as you progressed through its creation? If so, how?
Task 1: Create a new discussion. In your reply, you will post your answers to the Week 8 Critical Thinking Activity questions. Your responses to the questions should be a minimum of 150 words. Going over the minimum word length requirement is acceptable; however, I am not looking for 500+ words.
Because this is a critical thinking activity, it is important that you do your best to evaluate and assess the assignment without bias or judgment. You are expected to properly cite and incorporate scholarly/peer-reviewed sources.
Be as thorough as possible when writing your Critical Thinking Activity topic/posts, and remember, this is an academic assignment, so no “text-talk,” no conversational tone, and ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS… don't plagiarize!! Lastly, spell-check and proofread your work! Failure to follow these steps will negatively impact your grade.
