Week 5 - 6

This slog is an attempt to make up for the last couple of weeks of not posting on my blog. It's been really hectic with studying for mid terms and completing big assignments for classes, but that's what university is. I'm not necessarily getting the hang of it just yet but by the end of the year all the overwhelming classes, finals, and projects will be done. As for CSC104H1, the week before reading week was really hectic because all my midterms were that week. I didn't even make it to the quiz the Friday before reading week, however, I'm going to try my best to catch up. I also got the results of my test back and they weren't too good, but, now I'm kicking myself into gear and getting my act together. Whatever I don't get I'm going to do my best to ask. Like I said previously this course is getting harder and harder by the week, therefore if I don't pay attention or go to classes I know I'm going to fall behind. Therefore my goal is to stay focused and motivated and to do my work in all classes in order to successfully get through my first year of university.

Week 4

It's week 4 of having our slogs and it's actually surprisingly helpful. I get to ask questions if I don't have time to see my TA and it gets answered pretty quickly. We've been learning more and more about the history of computer science and the different kinds of functions. The functions that we've learned this week dealt with lists and switching the orders of images. It's actually really cool to be able to do all of that in such a small programming box. Even though some of last weeks content is still a little confusing I'm starting to get the hang of it all. I thought that learning about how computer science came to be was really interesting and educational. This course definitely has it's easy points and its hard points but with practice I'm sure that i'll eventually understand most of the concepts of computer science. Overall Dr. Racket has been helpful and easy to use therefore I'm extremely interested in what's to come for the rest of the semester.
