Week 6


I'm very satisfied with the exam results. However, most of the mistakes committed were not due to difficulty, rather they were made due to carelessness (not being able to solve correctly a  simple equation, writing image -> picture instead of image -> image). I also feel satisfied with my grading on the 1st part of the Wikipedia exercise, though I'm a little confused on why i didn't get full marks on "suitable articles".

In any case, i found the slides on Bolean logic very easy to comprehend, as well as the slides on binary However, following the problems found in the tutorial sheet are becoming more difficult to follow at first due tot he amount of steps they take (specifically colors).

Week 4/5



The midterm was relatively easily, although some of the wordings were quite confusing to understand. part from that, using Dr Racket is getting slightly more complicated simply due to the increase of coding.
I really found very, interesting the Wikipedia articles work. Being able to contribute to a resource we constantly use, is in my opinion an excellent option. Though i certainly never expected to do so as a class work.

Another aspect i found interesting was the background history we learned about computers in generals, and how the logic engines in the early 1900s paved the way to the modern computer.
