This week in CSC165 we continued learning about proofs. So far the examples in lecture haven't been too hard. We would focus on getting the outline of the proof, and then actually write the proof afterwards. Although it hasn't been too bad so far, I feel writing proofs is going to become a lot more complicated. Some of the proofs we did in lecture could also have been difficult to figure out by myself, and could have taken some time to figure out.
We also didn't have a tutorial this week, which was good because it gave us some extra free time, but it also meant that we would not get a chance to ask our TA's any questions that we might have.
This past week we also had our first term test, and I think I did well. I found the structure and some of the questions to be similar to a previous test that was on the CSC165 website. The test also didn't cover as much as I thought it would have, which is a good thing because there are some concepts that I don't fully understand yet, such as proving equivalency. Overall, I'm starting to feel better about this course, and hopefully this next week before reading week is easy and goes well.

SLOG 3
So this past week I worked on my assignment for CSC165. I feel it went okay, but some questions were definitely hard. I especially found questions 3 and 4 difficult, and converting a statement from English to symbolic notation, because of the ambiguity of the English language. Sometimes I would do a question, then do the same question a day later and get a different answer, which was very frustrating. It was very good practice though, and the practice questions that the prof posted were also very helpful in completing the assignment.
The tutorial went fairly well, too. My TA and another classmate helped clear some of the confusion I had about proving equivalency, and I feel I did well on the third quiz.
The material covered this past week in lecture includes more about bi-implication, limits (which I found to be very confusing), and proofs, which seem pretty complicated. I found the material this past week to be generally confusing, but I'll be looking at some of the practice questions to get a better understanding.
The midterm for CSC165 is also coming up on Friday, and I am not ready for it at all. I also have another midterm on Wednesday (I'm pretty sure most people in CSC165 have this test as well), as well multiple projects and assignments due the week of the 11th. It's going to be a bit hard trying to find time to study, but when I do get around to it, I'll check out the previous tutorial handouts, the assignment, problem questions, and previous exams. I am really getting swamped with homework now, so hopefully this next week of class and the midterm go well.
