couSe LOG Entry 3

I found this week's course material challenging for me. During the lecture, it is hard for me to absorb what is being taught by professor Danny. The explanation on the slide is not clear enough for me to understand. Besides, I sometimes cannot hear what Danny is saying clearly. I always feel that the professor skips something that I cannot connect what I already know to what is being taught. I think the professor should give us some more easy examples to help us understand the concept. I am still unable to get used to the way how Danny teaches. I cannot follow where he is leading us. Sometimes, I don't even know which part I don't understand when I cannot catch up the lecture. It is really difficult for me to learn from lectures.

Fortunately, I found some help this week. I thought about looking for extra help provided by teacher assistant, but I feel like I may need them to teach me about the course from the beginning. Instead, I looked at another professor Larry's course note. There are some easy examples on the slides, and the explanation is more clear and easier to understand. I spent the whole evening on Monday going through professor Larry's note and I am confident about first three weeks' material.

Regarding to the assignment, I typed the answer to the computer on Sunday and sent it to my teammate. Then, my teammate made some changes. I am confident about the assignment because my teammate has said that she enjoys this course the most.

I am satisfied about this week's tutorial. Because of the studying on Monday, I understand how to negate and how to transform between implication, disjunction and conjunction. I can do the problem set by myself and I can understand what teacher assistant is teaching. I am sure I did the quiz correctly.

Mid-term test is on next Wednesday. I am anxious about it to be honest because the lecture is too hard and unclear for me to understand that I fear I have already missed something for sure. I should look over both professor Danny and professor Larry's notes and do the tutorial problem set one more time. Just try to find which part I do not understand and find some help to solve it.
