Week 2

Compared to the first week and a half of the course, this week had many more topics and ideas to digest. We were introduced to symbols, negation, implication, truth tables, and more. University courses roll by things very fast but not enough time is being spent on these hard to understand at first topics. It could just be me but usually other people feel the same way as me about these sort of things. I sense that I will need to go to office hours in the future and utilize some personal advice on how to work through some problem sets, particularly the words to symbols conversions. These problems seem to be the hardest to me right now, I think just because of their ambiguity, hopefully I will hone my skills at these soon.
The assignment I have read over and seem to understand most of those concepts which gives me hope for the future of the course. Working all day on this piece of work with my partner tomorrow will hopefully go over smoothly.

Hi Alec, you can also go to the help center, and there are TA's for the course that have office hours the week before the assignment..And of course, come see me at the end of the tutorial if you have any questions.

Thanks for the offers of help! I did seek out help and got my questions answered. My understanding of converting words to symbols has gotten a lot better over the past week.

Going to office hours and the Help Centre are good ideas --- get your money's worth for your fees.
