Week 3# I felt confident about materials covered this week.

Week 3, we learned about conjunction, disjunction, negation, and implication. I had no prior knowledge of these material that we learned this week. However, I had set my strategy on how to deal with this course during week1 and week2 so it was time for me to test it out.

I think my study strategy turned out to be working. I struggled less when solving tutorial questions and quiz. For week2, I struggled so much that I felt I was stupid and I did not even get quiz correct. Now I feel like sailor with accurate direction on where to go. I think I feel more confident compared to previous weeks and this is a good sign. 

However, as of now, expressing every day English into symbolic, mathematical, and logical way is still little bit confusing for me. I think I should practice more on this expressions to make myself get used to express in this way. I think the material that we are learning is hard but very crucial for me because this makes my thinking process more logical and also this will help me do well when I am encountered with algorithms. 

Week 1-2# My frustration from week 1 experience

    So far, CSC165 is pretty challenging for me. One of the reasons could be because it is
    my first time doing computer science but that applies to most of students in this
    class. Now, I am thinking that my brain's capability of understanding the course
    material of CSC165 is not so good. This led me to have a big frustration. I believe
    having a big frustration will not help me to do well on this course and this is a huge
    problem for me.

    In order to get rid of this frustration, I came up with one simple
    solution, which I will read all the course related notes until I fully understand.
    This may sound easy for many people but I will have to devote significant amount
    of time on this course since for others it could take just one time to understand
    everything but for me it takes more to understand.I was not born academically smart
    so I will have to take different path to catch up with smart students and this path
    could be very slow and painful but this is the reality that I am faced with. I do not
    know what will happen in the future but I am confident that the solution that I came
    up with will greatly help me to do well on this course.
