FINAL REFLECTION

CSC104 course was a surprisingly interesting course for the different topics studied in class, especially big-bang and Fibonacci numbers. However, sometimes it could be overwhelming when some definition produces an error. That is why I would recommend to a future student when writing a design function do not panic if it does not work at the beginning. Moreover, if you see that is not working properly, go to the interactions area and play with the various parts of your definition to gain a sense of what is the function of each part. Similarly, using check expects will help you at designing your function, because you will see what it is the supposed outcome of the function. Finally, I would strongly recommend using the help manual during the designing of the function, to see which command could help you with the desired output.

Basically, for preparing for this course, organization and constant practice are keys. I would say that doing the weekly exercise will help you to master each week material. For this reason, I would recommend being organized as possible with the lecture notes, because these will help you to study for midterms and quizzes. Furthermore, I would not suggest skipping lectures, given that all the explanations are discussed in them. Finally, if you really want to get an A on this course, office hours are important, specially if you have doubts about a project, or you are simply blocked with the functions. TAs could give an insight about how to solve a problem, or just clarifying the questions in the project. Overall, doing all the assignments with time and preparing yourself weekly for the quizzes will guaranty success in this course.
