Week 11

The second term test was not that bad. I apparently had reviewed just what the test was on, so I did fairly well considering the state I was in before the test. I mostly lost marks for small errors and mistakes about the necessary structure and requirements of the proofs. I got my test back early last week since I went to the evening lecture that week. And I even got a chance to ask Danny about the points where I lost marks. Now I feel much more confident about the material.

Anyways, the past few weeks we've been working on formal languages. I don't remember anything about regexes from my version of csc165, but that was like several years ago. But it doesn't seem too difficult. This will need more time studying though. Assignment 3 is due next monday. And so is the project for 207! This will be another restless weekend... Got problem set due this Friday too, so back to work.

Week 9

I'm finding it hard to keep updating my blog. There is almost always an assignment, project, or test just around the corner that constantly needs more work. Anyways, tomorrow is going to be our next csc236 term test. I can't say that I am as prepared as I was for the first test, but there is still 20 hours until the test. The problem seems to be the proof of recursion and the time-complexity problems. I missed a few classes during the past few weeks and I am currently a bit foggy about those concepts. I didn't have sufficient time to think about A2 thoroughly either before handing it in. But from reading some of my fellow classmates' blogs, it seems that I am not the only guy getting behind on classwork. I will hopefully remember to post something after the test tomorrow to reflect on how I did. It would have been nice to have A2 corrected and commented on though. (edit- Sorry A2 was returned yesterday, forgot to check it, anyway this should help a lot in reviewing for the test.) Either way, I'm going to see how much I can catch up on today.
