CSC165 Week3

Slog Week 3

This week I learned more about implication, symbols, negation, and also learned some new concepts such as bi-implication and transitivity. But I don’t fully understand the new things and therefore, I will need to spend some time on those things.  In the lecture, vacuous truth is an interesting idea that I seldom thought about before, and I have never thought of proving an idea in this way.

At the same time, the assignment 1 came out and I am currently working on this. By doing the assignment, I realized there are some shortcomings in my way of studying. First of all, I need to spend more time reviewing the things I learned after every lecture. Second, it is also necessary to preview before lectures. Most importantly, I think I need do some homework regularly because when I was doing the assignment, I found out that with the lack of daily practice, I don't feel very confident about my work and encountered many problems that I didn’t notice before. On the other hand, I believe that practicing problem-solving questions are really helpful for tests and it would enforce memorization a lot. Since there isn’t any homework in csc165, I guess I have to search some other study materials by myself. I hope I can figure out a way to study CSC165.
