More BIG stuff...

Starting on a bright note, I got a 100 on the assignment and did even really good on the midterm.
So I'm really happy with my progress in this course.

However, this week we've stayed on track with the 'BIG' functions and moved to Big-Theta and Big-Omega and I have to say, not a 'Big' fan. lol sorry that was a bad pun.

It encompasses complexities which I think is a very important thing for a CS student, since a program has to be not only working but also the quickest and the most efficient.

I feel like I spent a lot more time on the tutorial exercise this week but hopefully this will help me get better hang of it.

BIG O's

First off, I have to say that this midterm was definitely better than the last and I'm pretty sure I did really well on my assignment too !

Secondly, the name big O is really hilarious, I don't even know if that's an appropriate thing to 'slog' about but seriously it cracks me up.

So big O's seem a bit more complex than I'd like. It's one of those things where I understand what we're doing in class and then when I look at it again I'm lost.
However Larry's slides are very helpful and they are easy enough to understand at first glance.

I'm learning better ways to study 165, and one of the best things that's helping me is study groups.
Though we occasionally do get distracted and end up going to coffee breaks, it definitely helps when we do concentrate and get productive.

Can't wait for the grades on A2 and midterm !!
