This week we had our second term test. Oh how gruesome it was :(. I discovered that I write way too slowly with a pen since I try not to make any mistakes as pens aren't erasable. I ended up probably spending 3/4 of the test writing while only using the rest of the time to think about how to do the questions. Hopefully I won't do this again on the exam since that would be pretty brutal on my mark. Also this week I found out a neat trick about proof structures that was pretty obvious but I somehow ended up missing it; that is you don't have to write out the entire statement at the end as you can just use some sort of indication to show that it follows from the rest of the statements.
We also continued with Big-Oh this week. I'm having a hard time coming up with the equations through counting steps despite having programming experience and I'm trying to resolve this issue by constantly reviewing the notes everyday. However, when they give me the polynomial to work with, I'm having little to no trouble which I suppose is a good thing. Hopefully I'll have everything cleared up before our third and final test.
I found it to be a harder too :( I hope we'll do better on the final exam!
