First of all, I want to say that this week's midterm is not fair because each question is worth 25% of our mark. I think there should be more questions that can test our knowledge on different levels. I felt like I was going to fail the test the moment I saw the first question. I have studied very hard for this test but those questions are just too hard for me to understand. And as my intuition told me, I did fail this midterm. I love computer science but this course is draining every single drop of love I still hold for this subject. Why do the things I love not love me back? I am very sad. I might drop this course.
This week we have studied the Tracing Recursion and Linked List. The Linked List is the same as the Queues because we need to add or remove heads. I don't understand why we need to learn this. It is useful ? It seems very easy and we would be able to figure this code out by ourselves. I didn't even want to go to class this week. However, despite not liking the seemingly easy material, I motivated myself to attend class. After I sat in class, I thought I could just breeze through the problems. However, after listening to the professor and reading some of the problems, I have realized how hard this material actually is. Indeed, it is very useful to link lists together. It is also very hard to code that link. Because of the midterm this week, I have newly found confidence in this course. I have a little bit overconfident when we had our friday class. Hence, I think the lesson this week is to never underestimate the difficulty of programming.
