CSC165 SLOG week2

CSC165 seems to be a pretty challenging course for me. Despite the fact that I am still trying to get used to the new way of teaching in university, in the same time I realize the importance of understanding each part of the course. Therefore, I felt really frustrated when I fell behind in the lecture this week. So I spent more time after class trying to figure out the parts that I didn’t understand, it helped a little bit; but more importantly, the tutorial helped me solve the problem a lot because of the slower speed of speaking and with more details. Also, the CS Help Center is a great place to go when having problems unsolved, which I went this week, though I found that everyone has to bring their own laptop because the computers there do not work.

The idea of implication that I learned this week is interesting because it seems to connect with people’s thinking and inertial thinking, but also it is a difficult material to cover fully, which makes me feel much less confident and worry about it. In the week 2 lecture, symbols are used frequently and it took me time to think of the meaning of those symbols every time when I used it. This increases my time of understanding and solving problems and the chance to fall behind in the lecture, I hope it will get better as I use more those symbols.
