Apologizes for not writing a SLOG last week. It completely slipped my mind, I'll admit. So I'll cover both topics in this post.
The first few weeks were admittedly a very easy but nice transition into CSC148 from CSC108. I guess it's because I've taken computer science courses before, but the first few weeks were rather easy. Of course, it's always good to review again and I was glad for it. Now, we're delving into things I haven't done, which is good considering the gentle build up to it. I'm excited to see what happens next and how I'll deal with it.
The midterm was easy, but I honestly wish we got more time to write everything. I'm sure my grade isn't great because I was rushing the whole time, and even at the end, I still hadn't finished writing what I wanted to write. Perhaps I'm a slow reader and thinker, but most people around me had the same complaints. Though I'm annoyed, I do feel okay with it. I think I got the majority of it done, and done well.
Tracing recursion isn't my strongest suit, but it was easy enough. Admittedly, I do mess up here and there because I rush through things and I don't like to take time going through each and every step, but overall, I think I've got the hang of it. I just need to slow down and check my work, especially on the more complicated bits of code. I did like the practice, because I'm so bad at tracing code overall. I think it really contributed to my understanding of recursion and coding.
That's it for now, so hopefully I remember to post again next week. I'm looking forward to it!
Best Wishes,
Dominique
I liked the gentle build in the first week too, hope we won't get swamped!
ReplyDeleteI remember originally reading this and thinking, "Oh gosh, I'll cry if that happens." I think it was pretty manageable! :D
