courSe LOG Entry 2

This week's CSC165 class, we learned things about conjunction, disjunction and negation. I feel the stuff in this week is more difficult than last two weeks. Conjunction means and in English and disjunction means or in English. Their symbols are used to describe the relationship between sets. Negation is relatively harder to understand when applying it to problems.

What I enjoy this week is my seat during the lecture is good. On monday's lecture, I sat at the fifth row in the room. In addition, I sat at a good spot downstair in University College's lecture room. In the past two weeks, I did not get really good spot and I even had nowhere to sit in the second lecture of this semester. A good seat helps concentrate during lecture since there is one less disturb.

This week's material challenges me. I was unable to catch up when the professor taught about negation. I did not quite understand even after doing some review. I feel that I miss something so that I cannot fully understand the material. Fortunately, I know a person who lives in the same building as me also takes this course. I asked her about the course material today and it really helped me a lot. I also invited her to be my partner for the first assignment in this course. I believe I need a lot of extra help in the future.

Finding a partner is my biggest achievement of this week. It is really helpful that someone understands the stuff that I do not understand. Although I enrolled into the First Year Learning Community, it does not provide much opportunity for us to discuss the course material. Since she lives really close to my room, it is a really helpful achievement.

This week's tutorial did not go really well. The teacher assistant explained the questions clearly. However, I was unable to apply what he had taught during the following quiz. I made my answer really complicated, and I realized the question should be answered by using negation at the moment I walked out of the class room. I probably need to do a detailed review to understand the course better.
