4 weeks past for new semester....

Time flies and already 4 weeks past for the 2nd semester. The course CSC165 is an interesting course to me, and it is quite different from what I expected. I thought that it would be a course similar to CSC108, which have to deal with writing programs, while this course actually is to learnt how to understand different statements, and, to understand what different programs does.

At first I found it uneasy to convert statements to P => Q form. In class, we did a few examples, and I get most of it correct, but some of them are really confusing, such as the sentences using "unless". However, after a few times of practising and thinking deeply what the sentences actually means, it became much easier. The favourite thing for me in this course so far is to identity when the statements are true and when they are false. In Exercise 1 we had this kind of question as question number 1 as it is not hard for me. I was happy that I got full mark on this question. However, for question number 2, we are required to convert the statements into P => Q form and I really did it poorly. I think that I must do more of this kind of questions, or else I will fail the test!

Things such as negations, contrapositive, etc. are not really hard for me. They just requires you to think more about the statement and most importantly, understand what they are talking about. Maybe because I am taking MAT157 at the same time, I don't find these things complicated. Hope that I can continue working hard on this course!
