Slog #2


I prepare for quizzes and test by trying the week lab notes as well as going over the class notes. Sometimes I miss some notes during class but doing lab notes help me to go over things I have missed as well as to remember the things that was went over class. When I am going over the notes, I first try it on the Dr Racket and then try it again on paper to see if I really understand the material and to check if steps all makes sense.

The image I made that made me proud was stacking small triangle to make a large triangle. It was a small triangle to start with and it was interesting to see how you can use functions to create a tower of triangle.

In class, defining and plugging into the DrRacket did not really made sense but after analyzing, plugging functions in the definition, I started to understand how it led to the result. When using DrRacket, it was frustrating at first when there is an error in so I need to check carefully what I typed wrong or missed and practicing more helped me to identify errors faster. Also, studying for the first term test and doing the past tests were really helpful as I was able to practice what I have learned and to know what things I don't get.

I think it would have been more helpful if tutorials had time to go over the quizzes or had time to ask questions. In the future, I should go and ask question in office hours before the quiz to do well on quiz as well as to keep up with the materials.

We had our first midterm this week. For preparing for my midterm, I did past tests to make sure I understand the concepts and to know what is expected to be asked on the midterm. I also reviewed the lecture notes and tutorial notes. Studying for the midterm helped me to practice how to write check-expects and design a definition from the check-expects. Since there was no answer key for the past midterms, I was not sure how much we are suppose to write to get the full credit for showing the steps.

The second midterm felt better than the first midterm. I am more used to applying the definition and designing a function. The past test really helped me a lot to prepare for this exam.

This whole week, I worked on my first project. It was hard to start because I had trouble defining a function and I was working alone. For some of the functions, I needed to change and try the definition lot of times in order for the check-expect to all pass. I went to office hours to get help. It was really helpful because sometimes I was stuck in one part for long time and getting explanation and help from the T.A.s helped to go pass that and also understand the functions. When I started to get it, after that I was able to go to next step more faster and was able to complete the project.
