Reflections on 3.16 and 3.17-18: I am happy with my performance on 3.16, and I feel that my extra work was fun. For 3.17-18, I felt maybe I could have done a couple extra code snippets, especially because I am not super proficient with recursive functions. I feel that if I did that not only would I have gotten the extra 0.1 but also understood a lot.

What I learned: I learned in this unit a lot about the syntax of algorithms, and what algorithms could be used for. While I don't feel I used a lot of the info was useful earlier (only due to my prior experience with code. However later on I felt that I had a necessity to understand more, as I did not understand the topics as much..

Overall Reflection: I enjoyed teaching and having other people teach. Brining novel views through diversity is one of the college board-defined benefits of collaboration. I enjoyed collaborating with my group mates and with the other groups in order to learn these new topics. I feel that what I have learned prepares me for future endeavors. If I had any critique, it would be the breakneck pace and the lack of a standardized language, however I don't blame anybody, neither the teachers nor students, for this issue. More so I see it as a lack of foresight with college board and weirdly a sense that they lacked general understanding for what should have been done or taught for a class like this. Overall, I enjoyed this unit's innovation and perspectives greatly.
