test and assignment

Assignment 2 grades recently came out and i was very proud of my mark. I thought that the marks we were docked on were pretty harsh and i intend to speak to danny about it soon as he seemingly approved of my solution when i showed it to him. The TA mentioned that the constants for question 2 should have been different, and i cant find a reason at the top of my head why that should be. Apart from that, this assignment turned out to be a smooth ride on the road, as was the first assignment.

The last week i think was academically the most brutal week of my life. I can now see a little sprinkle of logic of why my professors ( and even my mom ) had advised me against taking 6 courses in a semester. I guess this may as well hold me in good stead in my future years when the going gets even tougher, though i sure hope that i dont experience similiar horror of sleepless nights. The 3 midterms i had meant i had to compromise on one of them, and it unfortunately had to be the csc236 test. I could have done it a lot better if i had spend proper time going over some recursion proof techniques. My fears were realised when i saw my mark for it this week. Though i dint do too bad, it sure was a dip from the standards i usually set myself for.

Assignment 3 is now out and i had my first reading my partner over it. We found an amazing almost unrealised trick in one of the parts in question 2. I am not much of a bragger but i ended up feeling extremely pleased at myself for being able to figure it out and i sure see a lot of students taking the solution almost granted for it. At the end of the exercise, me and my partner ended up appreciating and even smiling at the originality of assignment questions danny comes up with. For whatever bizzare unscientific reason, solving for 236 assignments gives me the most satisfaction and perhaps even sense-of-admiration everytime i am able to formula a concrete proof to each of the questions.
