Week 6, 7, 8: Feb 17 - Mar 9

Nothing much to say again...Nothing much has changed since two weeks ago.... I'm getting better with generic proofs. Assignment 2 took some time but I think I benefited from doing it as I understand how to write different kinds of proofs now. Office hours and the TAs in the help room were very helpful. If the level of the questions on the upcoming term test are at the same level as those of the assignment I think I will do alright provided that we will only be covering proofs in the test. The biggest problem is that when given a proof that I've never seen before I almost never know how to do it the first time. If I get a similar question to one I've seen before then I don't usually have many problems....so right now I'm kinda hoping I've done enough proofs to cover all the ones that will be on the test....

On the other hand, whatever we're learning right now. I have a basic grasp of what's going on in class but when given a question I have no idea what the question is asking of me (eg: tutorial exercise/ quiz). Am I supposed to count the times it iterates? List the steps? Prove something? o.0
