Week 7

This week has gone well for learning recursion. We were learning about queues and stack ADTs in our lab, and Node implementations for them. What's been frustrating me this week has been exercise 5 part b, since it involves multiple instances of recursion where I can use global variables to help me. I'm pretty confident in what we learned this week about linked lists, however, I still feel like I need a lot more practice with understanding recursion and tracing through it. Right now, I've been using interactivepython.org to help me with understanding recursion and trees, and it does a a thorough job in explaining them. One of my achievements for this week is finishing part A for exercise 5.

Week 6

The test this week was pretty bad for me. Went through some tough times regarding personal issues and couldn't study enough for the test. Right now, I'm doing exercise 4 and am learning about tree traversal and practicing recursion. I don't think I'll be able to finish the exercise by the due date, but, I'm going to finish it regardless for some practice. I feel as though I need a lot of practice for recursion, so that's my main plan for this week. The steps I'm taking for practicing recursion are looking up youtube videos on recursion for python, and finding tutorials that involve recursion. I've been using online timers to help count the amount of time I spend studying, which I'm trying to place at 4 hours a day.

Week 3

The class is pretty tough for me to follow so far, but not too tough. Wish the time schedule was a bit later for the class. I'm starting to learn more about classes, but they still confuse me. Good thing is I found a partner for the assignment. I've been reading up on a lot of video tutorials for classes and such, so that helps.
