Assignment Deadline Creeping Up

Thankfully the material introduced throughout this weak was clear. All confusions present in the material were resolved by the end of each lecture. However, this cannot be said about Friday's lecture due to my absence. Hopefully the annotated slides are posted within a few days allowing me to catch up on lecture materials. As always, the course notes are a great resource so if the annotated slides are missing, it will be no big deal.

The main focus during this week was put on Assignment #1. The questions were foggy at first but after covering new material this week, they do not seem to be too bad. Still, one should never underestimate material that is to be marked. You can never know how you will do until you get it back.

My aim, after learning from the first semester, is to finish every assignment one day before it is due. This way, a lot of stress can be avoided and mistakes are less likely to be submitted. Therefore, I have rationed my days to allow for completion of the assignment by Tuesday. A low mark at the beginning of the course can be discouraging so I will try my best to ace this assignment. Besides, the material will only get harder; might as well build a base.

I have been looking at blogs posted by other students and have noticed that my thoughts tend to be very long winded and verbose. I should probably cut down on the length to save the TAs time as it is not only my blog which will be read.
