Week 12 - The LAST WEEK! Project 2!

It is the last week of this semester. It is a little bit sad, because I have not really fully enjoyed school, and we have to do finals. I do not like finals.

This week, we have to do project 2, Maze. I am totally confused! On Thursday, I went to the CSC help centre to seek for help, and the TA there was so good to help me out of the problem. However, I did not quite finish the project, and I went to the help centre on Friday again.

I just could not believe I see my high school friend there, but I am not sure. I know that he is studying computer science in U of T, but he is still on third year. What a coincidence! Anyway, I am a humanity student who was totally frustrated about the coding questions. My TA helps me a lot on the problem, especially when I was doing the "make-cute" function, I typed it wrong into "boolean to image", which is not correct. The correct contract is "image to image". Finally, I could finish the project and handed in on time. It comes out of a "maze" with trees and one person standing in the beginning of the maze. It is very interesting. There is so much fun to do with the project, and turning the codes into some functions using big-bang.

For the quiz this week, I did not do well. There were three parts of the quiz, and for the position part I was not sure about it. For the final review, I decide to look up the previous final exams and find out questions that I have problems with, and I will go to the help centre or ask TA for help.

At the end of this class and also my SLOG, I feel like CSC104 is a computer science course though, but no difficulties for a student like me, who has been two years being away from math. There are a lot of similarities between CS and math, I was good at math when I was in high school, but not in university. As a humanity students, starting a journey in science world is so interesting. I hope there could be more courses like CSC104, that some students like me could enjoy it, and become interested in science world.

I wish to thank our professor and our TA. Getting up at 8 is not something easy to do especially in winter. I am really thankful for you guys to provide such a good course for us. I wish I could take more courses on CSC sincerely!
