This week we started off with transitivity, which wasn't too bad, but then we got to this graph that confused me so badly. Fortunately, it made more sense after I attended my calculus lecture. Coincidently those two classes had almost the same concept being conveyed. The last thing I remember learning was the introduction to proofs. For me this was the part of the week where I got more comfortable because proofs were something I'd done more than enough times in grade 8 and grade 9 in my school back in Dubai.
Outside of the three hours spent on lectures for this class was the time spent on our first assignment for this course. The first time it was posted and I looked at it...I closed the tab immediately thinking how on earth am I going to do this. Eventually I sat down one night and looked at it again. That time wasn't so bad and I finished most of the questions then and there. I still wasn't too sure of my solutions though. This uncertainty was the scariest part of this entire experience. What if I'm wrong? Everyone else seemed to have finished it so fast and so easily. Was I missing something? I didn't know what to do. Finally I replied to one of the posts on piazza about someone looking for a partner. We met up Friday afternoon, looked over just the first question together and both our solutions were completely different. Thats when we decided to go try the office hours...didn't work out so well. It was so crowded and Prof Heap didn't have time for us. So that was that. I came back home, looked over my solutions again and hit submit, putting all that stress to bed.
