SLOG10: Final SLOG for the semester

Welcome everyone to my last SLOG for CSC148. While course went by so fast, I still feel that we were able to cover a lot of material. Looking back to the first week of classes I was overwhelmed by the material in this course. Now I won't say that now I am less overwhelmed but I will say that the material really did get harder and harder over the weeks. Not to mention the strike worked as a cherry on top of cake.

Looking back to first few weeks of classes, I was terrified by the material and after test 1  wasn't sure if I should continue to take this course. But I didn't give up and I kept trying to understand the material and eventually with working on the assignments on my own and then the partner, it helped to gain insight onto how to code appropriately and where I was going wrong. My mid semester, I began enjoying the material since it was all about recursion and this topic seemed really interesting to me. Over the weeks, even with the TAs being on strike, I still managed to go over the material weekly and teach myself the material based on the class notes.

Overall, one thing that I found to be most difficult for me was to turn the English understanding of the methods/functions into the code.I always commented out what needs to be done and then worked on figuring out the code for it. Though it is still difficult for me, I am still able to write the code and I enjoy doing this. Another topic I had struggled with during this semester was using recursion to draw trees. I know its very simple, but my head just does not wrap around it as fast. I am able to do this but it takes me a while to understand exactly how to do it.

Now that the class is over and the strike over, lets all focus on the exams and try to ace them to the best of our abilities. Thank you again for reading and following my posts. Good luck for the exams everyone!!!
