Reflection Time!!

Wow. CSC148 was nothing like I expected, what started off as fun, turned into a nightmare right after the first test. I knew coming into the course that it would be a bit challenging, but never did I think I would be as challenged as I am feeling now. Looking back into my first week SLOG, I thought the course would be simple, fun and challenging in a sense that after a couple hours of focusing I could accomplish any challenge. But it turns out that computer science just isn't the minor for me.

   It's not that I don't like the course, or I don't like the challenge, its just that I can't think like a computer scientist. I can't see a line of code and create a mental object in my mind, and show what happens to it as you create methods or variables. And since I was taking these courses on the basis of a minor, I can now focus on my Rotman specialist.
 
  But with the horizon just around the corner showing up in the form of a final exam, whether I like the course or not, it's go time and I have to refocus on the concepts to get a good grade, and I have learned more in this course than I ever thought I would coming into the course.

    I am really sad to hear this
    I do hope you change your mind. Think about why you didn't do as well as you have expected if it is because you didn't put as much time/effort in studying the material (may be because you thought it was easy) or if it is due to some "special" circumstances such as the strike then may be you shouldn't give up computer science (it is a fun field, at least sometimes :) ).
    and I wish you Good luck in whichever subject post you choose.
