Slog week 4
This week in csc165 I first learned about
proof and the term test coming in next week made me feel somehow anxious. I
feel like unprepared for the test because I haven’t done any exercise for this
course and I didn’t spend enough time on it. Sometimes I feel like I've finished all
the work because I don’t have any homework; however, it’s extremely important
to review and preview. I planned to study for the test in weekend.
This week conjunction, disjunction and negation were introduced. First, I found the idiom is interesting to read. Secondly, the silly English trick part is interesting but it requires to think more carefully when doing logic since the way people use "and" and "or" in daily life is little different than the way these two words are used in cs. Thirdly, the part of negating a statement by using rules is reasonable. By comparing the original statement and its negation; then translating them into English form, it can be seen that they are the opposite to each other.
On the other hand, the first assignment is due this week; I struggled with this assignment because of the same reason, the lack of exercise. But when I worked with my partner and we discussed, I felt much better and it helped me lot. At the same time, I also found out I didn’t know how to draw the Venn diagram for implication; my partner helped a bit and I do much better right now though I still need to practice more.

As far as I'm concerned, the exercises on assignment, past test and tutorials are valuable and are sufficient for your preparation for test 1. Good luck!
