Portfolio with above and beyond/critical responses

Bridge logic puzzle pt.1 (1)

 Critical response: At first I thought this bridge problem (and others like it) were impossible and very challenging, but with practice they have become easier. Now that I know that there is a specific method to follow when doing bridge problems, I know how to solve them and feel confident in my answers.

 Critical response: Scheduling, like the bridge problems, also seemed very hard to me at first. But I learned that I had to use my logical and critical thinking skills, and then these problems became (somewhat) easier to solve.

Quiz part 3 w/corrections (26)

Quiz part 4 corrections (27)

Critical thinking: From this quiz I learned how to do the scheduling and Dijkstra's problems correctly through the use of quiz corrections. Getting to look over my quiz a second time allowed me to see the mistakes I had made and gave me an opportunity to fix them and replace them with the correct answers.

 Above and beyond: For the Hamiltonian circuit, a real-life situation where you would use this circuit would be if you were a pizza delivery person assigned to make deliveries in a neighborhood. You would have a starting and ending location (the pizza joint), locations to stop at along the way (customers' houses), and you would have to follow the flow of traffic (the currents in a Hamiltonian circuit). The driver would have to use their logic to find a quick and safe way to give the customers their pizza and return back to their location, and a Hamiltonian circuit would be the perfect solution. Who knew that pizza delivery boys were such mathematicians?
