We finished the first term test last week and I did fairly well. The test was composed of three questions. The questions were all very simple and pretty much straight from the lectures/exercises. The only mark that I lost was for not stating clearly enough how I got my base cases in problem 2. I myself didn't think any of the questions were as difficult as the ones on A1.
And on a side note about A1, I did average on it because the TA seemed to find it difficult to follow my logic through the mountain of words I wrote. This will still be one of the things that I will need to keep working on. I should apparently try to use more mathematical notations to help streamline my work.
Recently, we've begun working on the time complexity of computer code. I believe that I have already understood most of the basics such as unwinding a recursive function, assigning values to each line/part of code, and then prooving an assumption is correct with induction. I will need to go back and redo some of the more complicated examples given in class. (I'm very glad that the professor is posting all the work from lecture online!)
But for the current week, most of my time will be spent on my other courses which are having their own midterm/term tests this week, so I will just try to keep up with lectures and finish PS4 when it comes out this week.
