Week of February 18

This week started out the week by having a review over sorting and comparable methods. Then we had the entire class period to finish work that we hadn't finished. This week we showed Mr. Tessler our finished Pong lab and we finished the 2nd part of the Locale lab with help from students and teacher. The 6 weeks test was a pain in the butt too because it was pretty challenging, where I scored 17 points out of a possible 25; 68%.. The free response was even more of a tragedy because I suck with free write problems in comp sci. Multiple choice questions make much more sense to me because I get the code in front of me and have a better idea of what's wrong and right. Worksheet interfaces and implement were assigned this week too. I ateempted to do it, but I think i'll have to redo it anyway. Coming in every Thursday so I can understand things...MAy have to come in more than once a week

This week we continued working on our locale lab where we set the time and currency exchange rate for a certain country. We got a free response worksheet this week too and we were assigned to do it over the weekend. The free response looks pretty challenging but I'll look over the power point presentations and hopefully it will help me be able to understand what's going on in the worksheet. We had a quiz this week too, but I was gone for TMEA in San Antonio with the band. We have a six weeks test next Tuesday, and it is really intimidating. Im going to try and do well on it....Good luck to me! I've started coming in every Thursday to get help on Comp Sci, and it's slowly helping me get back on track.

This week we learned about abstract classes and codes and started the locale lab. The interfaces worksheet was given to us and that was pretty hard as well. I am finding ways to keep on trying to learn the material, but its just a big jumble in my head and I can't really connect things together. I've started coming in at lunch on Thursdays to get a better understanding of the material so I don't fall behind too much. I don't want to have anything lower than a B+ in this class because it IS an elective, and I'd feel really dumb if I didn't get anything lower than a high B. My grades this year haven't been the hottest, and i feel like I'm just finding ways to keep up with my classes and manage As and Bs. we were going finish the locale lab this week but weren't able to. We will finish next week and hopefully be caught up with all labs that we were supposed to have done

Week of Jan 28, 2013

This week we were supposed to finish the PONG lab. It was a huge pain because it took a bunch  of different labs together to create the entirety of the pong lab. We didn't actually understand part of the conceptual code writing until thursday though. This made it straining to 'finish' the lab on friday. We also learned about interfaces this week and that was kind of confusing to me as well, but I'm going to start comin in for tutoring at least once a week so I can be able to get the material and not fall behind in class. Pong was a hardd lab, and our program is kind of ghetto, but i think we did okay...Next week should be 'fun'. We got a packet of worksheets this week in clas and are expected to finish it by tuesday of next week. We need to score a 30% to on 2 out of 3 worksheets to be complete. It shouldn't be bad
