Week 6 Recap

This was a light week. No tutorials and no quiz which was a nice treat seeing as it's now midterm season. We haven't received our tests yet or the assignment marks which is making me still a bit anxious but these things take time, so I'm not too worried. I'm really enjoying this section of the course thus far. We are now proving non boolean functions, proving if a statement is false and we learned about limits.  Non boolean means that it doesn't return true or false. An example would be x>5 or sinx. We used the floor [x] which means function of x to prove or disprove a statement . Some techniques learned to also prove that are (for fun) would be tautology( which is basically saying something is true because it is true), proof by intimdiation( saying " trivial" or "don't be stupid of course its true") and my own personal favourite proof by intuition ( "my gut feeling").

Week 5

This week was evaluation heavy in terms of the midterm and quiz. The midterm I thought was quite fair because they were similar to the past test and assignment but I felt that having a question where you needed to understand code wasn't the greatest idea. The TA seemed a little overwhelmed with all of the questions students were asking. I think this could have been avoided if their was a little explanation of the methods any and all. The quiz again in the same week was interesting studying for two evaluations but I feel like it helped me get caught up fully in the course which is only a positive. I think more practice problems that aren't for marks would actually benefit me more because I feel like I'm not getting enough practice. Perhaps extra problems would help me test my knowledge.
