This is the last CSC148 post I will write. This semester went by much quicker than I expected and a lot happened that I assume not a lot of people were ready for. I found the first couple weeks of this course quite challenging which put a damper on my enthusiasm for computer science in general.
I found the implementation of classes challenging specially since I had trouble understanding and communicating with my lab TA. Thankfully, for the week we went over recursion, our TA changed to a much more capable teacher. Unfortunately this only lasted one week because of the strike. The strike affected me more than I thought it would. It disabled me from understanding the material concisely. In my opinion, this really affected my test mark for term test 2; specially since linked lists were a big part of the test and that was a week we completely missed in lab.
Assignment 3 is when I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. I am very grateful that it did not get canceled because it obligated me to truly understand the ins and outs of recursion. Finishing it gave me a lot of confidence and put me back on track for this course.
I actually believe that I can make it in computer science. Hopefully I can prove that, when, I write the final exam (crossing my fingers).
