Back to School!

After a two week long break, it's good to be back at school...not! The work is going to be piling up over the next few weeks, as well as the pressure to complete everything with quality and on time. Today we discussed about the first project we are going to do, he Mosaic Project, where we have to discuss about a certain topic related to computer science of our choice...

End of Peer Tutoring

Today was the final period of peer tutoring. To be honest, I learned quite a lot from my classmates, and I would say that I helped them review about the programming topics we've practiced for the last few months. Well, the weekend is nearing, and I can't wait!

More tutoring!

Today we spent the class with peer-tutoring and mastering the language. We were slightly off task, with experimenting with a few foreign programs on the web, but after that we were back on track. Tomorrow will be another class of tutoring, so there's plenty of time practice!

More Sub-programs

Procedures are used to output a set of ordered instructions, in one call. That was the lesson we had today. Our peer-tutoring groups were created with the goal being for everyone to be "a level 4" in programming Turing.

New Concept: Functions

Mr. Arkin taught us a few new keywords, that are quite effective if used. Keywords "function" and "result" are used to declare a function that will process one or more parameters to result in a value. We also learned that initally writing algorithms in pseudo-code will help phrase our code more clearly and efficiently. For homework, we were assigned to create a sub-program using function that will generate the next consonant when provided a letter of the alphabet. Seeya tomorrow!

Mr. Arkin Is BACK!

Welcome back Mr. Arkin! We were introduced to for statements today / counted loops. Last week we were able to work on the substring assignments every day, I must say we are progressively mastering the concept. Mr. Arkin assigned us to modify #9 to provide the next consecutive letter. That's all for today! Seeya!

Substring Work Period

Today Mr. Arkin was not here, and we were given time to work on the Substring assignments and explore Turing. Hope you're doing well out of school Mr. Arkin!
