Now back to the topic at hand, "Why geeks should write". Remembering what Diane had said in the lecture when she was talking about this topic about how research has proven that writing about what you've learned actually helps with remembering the content, and to me that seems true. I feel that when you teach others about certain topics, you yourself are learning the topic and testing yourself to see if you actually know the material. Which is why I enjoying teaching others what I've learned in these computer science courses because it helps me remember and really harness the main concepts that are taught. Concepts as basic but crucial such as "self.[method]", or "NotImplementedError's". CSC148 thus far has taught me to much to put in the slog, but over the next couple of weeks I intend to let it all out.

Week 3 SLOG:
"Why Geeks Should Write"? When given such a unique topic my initial reaction was probably like a lot of other students in the class. "I am no geek". Then I looked back at my past couple of weeks in CSC148, too all the different types of people I've talked to, and how anti-social some of the students were, and how different we all are. But at the same time I've learned and enjoyed so much in this course I can't help but feel like a geek.
