week #6

I'm too shame to say that I forgot to update this weekly Slog, but late is better than none, so here I am.

I was so frustrated during week 6 as I didn't fully complete the assignment 1. Part of reason for that is because I had 3 tests from other courses on week 6, but I must say that the main reason should be me. I didn't start it early, and I didn't seek enough helps that can solve my problem. I won't expect a good mark for the assignment and I did learn the lesson that how important is to manage the time properly.

One more thing that worth to be mentioned is trees, a recursive data structure I just learned this week. Trees are made of nodes possibly with values with directed edges between some pairs of nodes. So far, I'm ok with trees, and I will see if I can handle it on labs and term test.

Week # 5

Last week we were focusing on Recursion, and there's no much more new in this week, mainly Recursion but much far deeper . I thought I was doing well so far for this course until I started the assignment.

 It took me a while to understand the instruction of the assignment, and thanks to the explaination from Danny on the lecture so that I finally knew what's needed to do to start. So far, I still don't finish the assignment. But I believe, I can get it done eventually after more trying and discussing with peers, also of course, checking Piazza regularly.

week #4

Time flies, another week has passed.  Along with Prof. Heap's lecture, I've learned a little bit deeper in Recursion. Honestly, I still don't fully understand Recursion. But I feel I'm getting close to it now, it's much better than the first time I heard of it.
So far, I've done two exercises and two labs, which helps me a lot on comprehending concepts introduced by Heap. There's one more thing I'd like to say: Piazza -- this is a wonderful discussion board for this course, it's so terrific, I can see that Piazza will be one of the most important tools for me to complete course148.
