– Why did you choose CSC104? What do you hope to get out of the course?
I decided to take CSC104 to fulfill one of my arts and science electives this year because it seems to strike a healthy balance between interesting course material, and a manageable time investment. What I am looking for primarily in this course is the 0.5 arts and science elective credit that will contribute to my completing my degree and graduating this spring. My secondary hope is to understand more about computer science and programming in an attempt to gain a broader understanding of the world and the role that computers play therein. Toady, computers play a vitally important part of my everyday life, and I am aiming to better comprehend their inner-workings (as my current understanding is laughable- flappable really). – What did you expect programming to be like, and how does it compare with your experience in the course so far? (If you programmed before, how is programming in this course similar, and how is it different?) I have had a small amount of experience with programming before this course, learning the basics of HTML/CSS. This course has been much more fun than I expected. The racket programming language is slightly different than what I have previously experienced, but there are many similarities also. When I first opened and installed the program DrRacket, I did not immediately set the language to CSC104. This caused my first 20 or so minutes to be extremely frustrating… Thank goodness that I found a solution! – What do you find interesting so far? Learning the language and how functions can be embedded is interesting. Thinking through the steps reminds me of doing grade 9 Mathematics, BEDMAS in specific. I find this similarity interesting. – How did you study for the quizzes? Are you satisfied with your performance on them; if not, what do you plan to change? I have studied for the quizzes by going to lecture, and going over the practice exercise briefly. Yes, I have been satisfied with my performance thus far. I do not plan to change my approach much, unless the course becomes significantly more challenging. – Are there any specific Computer Science topics you're interested in? I am interested in being an active member in our future. With this in mind, I am interested in understanding how computer’s and programs function, on an elementary level at least. I have no specific interests other than to be interested in general. Harrison

This was a nice introduction to your journey on becoming a master-coder. However, I was hoping to learn more about the vegan juice cleanse.
