1. How are you preparing for the quizzes/tests?

-     Until this week, I have already finished some quizzes and the first term test. Before each quiz, I did the exercise the professor posted on the course website. Then doing these exercise on Dr. Racket and memorizing the ‘steps’ for each question, because sometimes we need to write the important steps for each question. Also, I reviewed the lecture notes. After the review, I felt the quizzes are easy for me. So I am satisfied for my past quizzes. On the other hand, before the term test, the professor posted some past term test paper online. I did each past paper and understand the question which I did wrong. Also, the lecture notes are important, because there is always some small problem I will forget, for example, the order of number and picture in rotate and scale.

 2. Are there any images you've made, or even functions to create images, that you enjoyed or are proud of?

-     I learned recursion last week and the quiz this week was asked us to draw many images. I felt this part is interesting. I enjoyed the triangle image, it created by many triangles in different size and different position. This reminded me the math problem, Fractal. They are similar, but the math problem, Fractal, I used math equation to draw this triangle image. However,  in this course, I know how to use the code to draw this image. I felt really interesting about this.

 3.  Are there things you initially found hard or intimidating, but now understand? How did you get to that point?

-      When I find some functions that I do not understand, I search them online first to gain a clear idea of what the function can do. Furthermore, I look up the textbook for CSC104. There also have some examples and images explanations. At last, I will try to use the function on Dr. Racket to practice more.

4.  Would you like to ask questions in tutorial, the CSC104 TA office hours, the general CS Help Centre hours, or on Piazza, but have trouble doing so? What could make that easier for you?

-      If I have some questions, I normally try to solve the questions by myself at first. Before the term test, I did the past paper the professor posted online. I had some questions at that time, my friends and I, we had a study group and did the past paper together, answering questions together. And we figure out each question. I felt the study group is really helpful, and when we have the question we all do not know the answer, we will go to the office hour and CSC help center hours. Personally, I do not have any trouble in asking questions with TA. Asking question with TA is very helpful for me to have a detailed explanation of each question.
