Paulina Pareja is ready for certificate of Fanatic Girl-Coder
Back to General discussions forum
The truth is, I started learning code seriously this year. I've wanted to focus on data analysis in the humanities, but it has been a bit challenging because I don't have a strong foundation apart from history books. At the beginning of this year, I joined a mathematics class, and honestly, the material was both a significant challenge and a great journey, which I'm happy to have experienced.Thank you.
Hi, I normally hold my tongue, but as you have asked for a certificate I feel obliged to comment. Hand on heart: have you honestly solved all the puzzles yourself? I have my doubts about that.
Comments, functions and variable names are sometimes in English and sometimes in Spanish.
Sometimes you use single quotes and sometimes double quotes.
That is not an evolution over time; often you switch back and forth for same day submissions.
And for somebody who has just started to seriously program, the use of variable names such as dp is unusual.
Even though you edit and adapt your code, it is surprisingly similar to other submissions. Examples?
Mathias, thanks for stepping in, I really was in doubt about this case and felt someone's opinion is much wanted :)
This account has mark of 80% suspicion level set by me perhaps half year ago, this generally means there were borrowings from other's solutions. Right now I do not see blatant copies, but really it looks like solutions were from several different people.
Most brilliant is that the last 7 problems were solved in the course of 75 minutes. They are not top-difficult of
course, but I'd say it is above the level of average programmer. So of course at such a level one wouldn't care of any
certificates :)
Dear Paulina, I really have no idea what to do in this situation. You most probably did significant work to learn programming, but it is difficult to assess your actual level because your works look like including work of someone else.
Here is suggestion - try solving several problems submitted recently (e.g. with numbers #380+) - how about, say,
at least 5 of them. Supposedly this shouldn't be hard for you.
Just tell how much time you need - a day, or a week, or perhaps two. Let's ask our gurus to assess your submissions and if all seems fine, we'll grant you diploma (even with distinction, probably).
