align:start position:0% uh my name is Miriam prosnit and I was align:start position:0% uh my name is Miriam prosnit and I was align:start position:0% uh my name is Miriam prosnit and I was on team Heatwave you play and there are align:start position:0% on team Heatwave you play and there are align:start position:0% on team Heatwave you play and there are characters moving around and different align:start position:0% characters moving around and different align:start position:0% characters moving around and different uh people who are at risk for being align:start position:0% uh people who are at risk for being align:start position:0% uh people who are at risk for being vulnerable to heat waves move around the align:start position:0% vulnerable to heat waves move around the align:start position:0% vulnerable to heat waves move around the screen so one person was in charge of align:start position:0% screen so one person was in charge of align:start position:0% screen so one person was in charge of researching who are those people and align:start position:0% researching who are those people and align:start position:0% researching who are those people and another person was in charge of okay I'm align:start position:0% another person was in charge of okay I'm align:start position:0% another person was in charge of okay I'm going to make a character object and we align:start position:0% going to make a character object and we align:start position:0% going to make a character object and we split up all of those actually right at align:start position:0% split up all of those actually right at align:start position:0% split up all of those actually right at the beginning so that we knew who to align:start position:0% the beginning so that we knew who to align:start position:0% the beginning so that we knew who to contact about what align:start position:0% contact about what align:start position:0% contact about what and then based off of that we would come align:start position:0% and then based off of that we would come align:start position:0% and then based off of that we would come together and say what needs to be done align:start position:0% together and say what needs to be done align:start position:0% together and say what needs to be done and whose job is it and is that still align:start position:0% and whose job is it and is that still align:start position:0% and whose job is it and is that still balanced in terms of who's working on align:start position:0% balanced in terms of who's working on align:start position:0% balanced in terms of who's working on what and it worked out really well align:start position:0% align:start position:0% actually actually funny enough I took align:start position:0% actually actually funny enough I took align:start position:0% actually actually funny enough I took this course solely because I had no align:start position:0% this course solely because I had no align:start position:0% this course solely because I had no course no computer science courses this align:start position:0% course no computer science courses this align:start position:0% course no computer science courses this semester uh because I was abroad last align:start position:0% semester uh because I was abroad last align:start position:0% semester uh because I was abroad last year I did a full year of engineering align:start position:0% year I did a full year of engineering align:start position:0% year I did a full year of engineering coursework and I was like don't need any align:start position:0% coursework and I was like don't need any align:start position:0% coursework and I was like don't need any more requirements might as well just align:start position:0% more requirements might as well just align:start position:0% more requirements might as well just take one for fun so here I am in align:start position:0% take one for fun so here I am in align:start position:0% take one for fun so here I am in creating video games and so my goal was align:start position:0% creating video games and so my goal was align:start position:0% creating video games and so my goal was to write code and the funniest thing I'm align:start position:0% to write code and the funniest thing I'm align:start position:0% to write code and the funniest thing I'm not representative of my team at all I'm align:start position:0% not representative of my team at all I'm align:start position:0% not representative of my team at all I'm like the one person in this class who's align:start position:0% like the one person in this class who's align:start position:0% like the one person in this class who's not written a single line of code this align:start position:0% not written a single line of code this align:start position:0% not written a single line of code this entire semester because I ended up being align:start position:0% entire semester because I ended up being align:start position:0% entire semester because I ended up being project manager a lot and so what I align:start position:0% project manager a lot and so what I align:start position:0% project manager a lot and so what I learned is a lot of the process a lot of align:start position:0% learned is a lot of the process a lot of align:start position:0% learned is a lot of the process a lot of making things work is really just align:start position:0% making things work is really just align:start position:0% making things work is really just emailing people calling them on the align:start position:0% emailing people calling them on the align:start position:0% emailing people calling them on the phone being like are you supposed to be align:start position:0% phone being like are you supposed to be align:start position:0% phone being like are you supposed to be at this meeting right now going and align:start position:0% at this meeting right now going and align:start position:0% at this meeting right now going and buying snacks for a meeeting you think align:start position:0% buying snacks for a meeeting you think align:start position:0% buying snacks for a meeeting you think it's like silly you know nobody really align:start position:0% it's like silly you know nobody really align:start position:0% it's like silly you know nobody really needs to get snacks but I've been told align:start position:0% needs to get snacks but I've been told align:start position:0% needs to get snacks but I've been told by my teammates that if I hadn't gotten align:start position:0% by my teammates that if I hadn't gotten align:start position:0% by my teammates that if I hadn't gotten snacks they wouldn't have come so um I align:start position:0% snacks they wouldn't have come so um I align:start position:0% snacks they wouldn't have come so um I learned a lot about the project align:start position:0% learned a lot about the project align:start position:0% learned a lot about the project management and the work that goes on align:start position:0% management and the work that goes on align:start position:0% management and the work that goes on behind the scenes which I've seen before align:start position:0% behind the scenes which I've seen before align:start position:0% behind the scenes which I've seen before but I just didn't realize the scale of align:start position:0% but I just didn't realize the scale of align:start position:0% but I just didn't realize the scale of it in games uh something I would give align:start position:0% it in games uh something I would give align:start position:0% it in games uh something I would give feedback about this class is I really align:start position:0% feedback about this class is I really align:start position:0% feedback about this class is I really like the fast paace of the first three align:start position:0% like the fast paace of the first three align:start position:0% like the fast paace of the first three project and this project uh because it align:start position:0% project and this project uh because it align:start position:0% project and this project uh because it was so much longer time the team was so align:start position:0% was so much longer time the team was so align:start position:0% was so much longer time the team was so much larger and we had this kind of set align:start position:0% much larger and we had this kind of set align:start position:0% much larger and we had this kind of set topic we had to deal with I didn't enjoy align:start position:0% topic we had to deal with I didn't enjoy align:start position:0% topic we had to deal with I didn't enjoy it as much as I mentioned one of the align:start position:0% it as much as I mentioned one of the align:start position:0% it as much as I mentioned one of the main issues for our team was passion at align:start position:0% main issues for our team was passion at align:start position:0% main issues for our team was passion at the end of the day I I can summarize align:start position:0% the end of the day I I can summarize align:start position:0% the end of the day I I can summarize what you should do in a heatwave in like align:start position:0% what you should do in a heatwave in like align:start position:0% what you should do in a heatwave in like two sentences that doesn't make for a align:start position:0% two sentences that doesn't make for a align:start position:0% two sentences that doesn't make for a very interesting game um so that's align:start position:0% very interesting game um so that's align:start position:0% very interesting game um so that's something I would say if I was to do it align:start position:0% something I would say if I was to do it align:start position:0% something I would say if I was to do it again I would I would have played the align:start position:0% again I would I would have played the align:start position:0% again I would I would have played the game where you play as the Heatwave and align:start position:0% game where you play as the Heatwave and align:start position:0% game where you play as the Heatwave and you like try to attack people cuz that align:start position:0% you like try to attack people cuz that align:start position:0% you like try to attack people cuz that sounds like more fun uh and I think align:start position:0% sounds like more fun uh and I think align:start position:0% sounds like more fun uh and I think that's the other thing I learned about align:start position:0% that's the other thing I learned about align:start position:0% that's the other thing I learned about games is that you really have to care align:start position:0% games is that you really have to care align:start position:0% games is that you really have to care about what you're align:start position:0% align:start position:0% making well somebody mentioned in one of align:start position:0% making well somebody mentioned in one of align:start position:0% making well somebody mentioned in one of the presentations that for the last align:start position:0% the presentations that for the last align:start position:0% the presentations that for the last project we would submit these Sprint align:start position:0% project we would submit these Sprint align:start position:0% project we would submit these Sprint task list and they wouldn't necessarily align:start position:0% task list and they wouldn't necessarily align:start position:0% task list and they wouldn't necessarily be what we like people actually would do align:start position:0% be what we like people actually would do align:start position:0% be what we like people actually would do because people were so busy at the end align:start position:0% because people were so busy at the end align:start position:0% because people were so busy at the end of the semester for my team if it was align:start position:0% of the semester for my team if it was align:start position:0% of the semester for my team if it was the case that we hadn't done something I align:start position:0% the case that we hadn't done something I align:start position:0% the case that we hadn't done something I would put it on the Sprint task list align:start position:0% would put it on the Sprint task list align:start position:0% would put it on the Sprint task list again uh but I didn't have to and that align:start position:0% again uh but I didn't have to and that align:start position:0% again uh but I didn't have to and that could have if I hadn't done that then align:start position:0% could have if I hadn't done that then align:start position:0% could have if I hadn't done that then there would have been a big Divergence align:start position:0% there would have been a big Divergence align:start position:0% there would have been a big Divergence between what we said we were doing and align:start position:0% between what we said we were doing and align:start position:0% between what we said we were doing and what we were actually doing so as an align:start position:0% what we were actually doing so as an align:start position:0% what we were actually doing so as an educator I would really say check in on align:start position:0% educator I would really say check in on align:start position:0% educator I would really say check in on your team see actually what they've done align:start position:0% your team see actually what they've done align:start position:0% your team see actually what they've done make sure they're setting realistic align:start position:0% make sure they're setting realistic align:start position:0% make sure they're setting realistic goals and following through on them
