To be a good tutor

Dec. 2, 2017

Introduction


It is such a challenge job to work on mock interview this morning 10:00 AM. The peer lost connections a few times, and also the peer asked me to help to write Java code. I played the role and the code is kind of ugly, but it served the purpose to show how to use recursive call. The connection was still broken, now it is 10:53 AM, the peer could not get back after 10 minutes. I HAVE to stop. 

I finished the Java code and passed all test cases. 

Here is Java code I helped to complete. 


How Far I Can Go


To learn an algorithm using recursive function, a depth first search, it takes a lot of practice. I finally feel more confident on the algorithm, with so many trials in last 6 months. But today it is the first time the peer asked me to help, I just wrote one line of code, line 17 first. The peer said that she did not know how to continue, so I wrote line 20, 21, 22, 23. 

This is the good learning experience for me as well. I like to master the algorithm. One algorithm a time.
