The Textbooks

There are two textbooks that are on sugarsync. I have looked at both of them and while they are not wholly enlightening, I do think they helped a bit. I like them mainly because it explains the concepts in a great many words as opposed to the few used on the slides. I definitely still need to go in for tutoring, but it is still nice to read the textbooks. One thing that I haven't yet found in the textbooks however, is information regarding having two separate classes, which I think is what I dont really understand...

Tutoring

I really need to go back to tutoring. While the stuff that I learned in tutoring and we did last 6 weeks now looks really easy, the stuff we are doing this 6 weeks is just as hard and new as the stuff as the first 6 weeks was back then. Well, thats not true. I understands ifs, whiles, and forloops, as in, I get what they do and how they work. I just dont understand how they all fit together into a program that runs well. I dont really know how to reconcile this, but I know I ought to go into tutoring more. Like at least once a week I think.

Tutoring

Going into tutoring really cleared a lot of stuff up. Though, I don't know if actually going to tutoring and reviewing was what helped or if it was actually being there doing the work alone without distractions. I hope it was the former, but I guess if it turns out to be the latter thats okay too. It was so much easier and made so much more sense in tutoring than at home or in class. Like magic.

AP CompSci More

To be honest, despite my attempts to finish up my labs at the last minute, I have found myself unable to complete the work. That said, a B isn't that bad of a grade, though it seems worse because I know I can do better, something which I hope to prove in the upcoming 6 weeks. Still, my missing classes due to my wisdom teeth probably didn't help this at all. My wisdom teeth are done though, so this next 6 weeks should be better.
