Last week we had our first CSC148 term test, because I understood all the course materials, and I put everything that I could possibly put on the Aid sheet, the term test last wednesday was easy, it was a conclusion of everything we have learned so far. However, I spend too much time on question one, I wanted to make the content look good, so when I think my writing is messy, I erase it and rewrite it again, but we only had 50 minutes of test time. So as you can time, I didn't finish the term test at last, it was a really depressed feeling because I knew how to do all the questions but couldn't finish writing it. There was four questions in total that we have to write, I left half of the question blank, the final mark I got was 21/25, only if I finished the test paper. I have to learn the lesson and do the test efficiently.
Right after the term test we went back for one more hour of lectures, we learned the new concept about trees, and more recursion. It was confusing when I think of the concept of recursion last week, but after the lab, and more practice, I can feel that I'm more comfortable with the idea now. Recursion is like solving a large problem in the simplest way possible, we don't have to write more code for it, because the function will call itself. All I need is practices, more practices on coding will make my skills so much better!
