Below you will find another sample of how to write an issue log. As I have said, there is no single way to writeup an issue; however, it is important you clearly describe your issue so others can participate in the solution.
What is your longer term goal?
To create a web app that allows users to reflect on their performance.
What are you working on today?
I am learning how to use FLASK and Python to create forms to display on a website.
What was accomplish?
I watched several video that demonstrated the how to code using FLASK and Python to create forms. I noticed/learned that FLASK commands creates the connection between the web page to server (i.e. directing what content information is displayed on the page). In addition, I also learned more about Python, in particular how to use packages for easily create forms.
What were some of your challenges?
I struggled to fully understand the syntax of FLASK and Python, especially when it comes to defining variables and then using these variables to create a form.
I am still unsure of how the form information will be stored in the database and how to display the information to users after it is saved in the database.
What can you do to address these challenges?
Immediately, I will analyze different lines of code and label each term and then describe its purpose in the statement. Next, I will identify how the different lines of code will enable me to create a form.
Besides coding challenges, I am unsure if I fully grasp how the form will facilitate reflection on the part of the user. In addition, I wonder how form users might get feedback on their reflections/learning performance.
What are the next steps for completing the project?
There are two steps that need to be taken: 1) create a wireframe for the form; and 2) work toward coding the wireframe into a web form using FLASK, Python, and HTML.
