Course Reflection

After three months of hard working in CSC165, I am almost done with this course. I have came a long way since the beginning of September. I am going to say that this course is quite difficult to master. The materials in this course were something that I had never seen before the first lecture of CSC165. I find this course quite challenging because the fact that this course does involved some math techniques, but not entirely like mathematics really annoyed me sometimes. Moreover, I also found the examples and contents in the slideshows given by professor heap were messy and abstract. I believe it is possible for professor heap to simplify the contents of the slideshows even more. My personal experience is that I often found myself lost in his lectures because I didn't have enough time to really understand the content of the slide before he moved on to the next one. However, there were still benefits for me taking this course, by taking this course, not only that I began to learn thinking logically, but also improved my ability to comprehend and analyze various problems.

Furthermore, often I found myself not understanding the materials then I asked for help from my T.A Jason. I frequently asked him questions after the tutorial sections, which he spent extra ten, fifteen minutes explaining the materials, which I really appreciated.
