- Talk about the highlights of coding--what were some of the "Aha! moments" that you've had throughout these two modules?
- What made you excited?
- What made you feel accomplished?
- In your opinion, why do you think using language like this to create instructions for user inputs are an effective way/non-effective way to solve problems in today's society? Choose one side to argue.
