I am currently in the class AP Comp Science, too, and I might’ve made a wrong decision, also. This class is quite hard because Computer Science does not come naturally to me. On my first test in this class I already got a depressing B-. Joo told us that this test would be the easiest of the year and it will progressively get harder and harder. A sentiment that I immediately get is fear. I am scared that my grade will only get lower and lower.
Although this class is extremely difficult, it is interesting. We learned how to loop programs, destroy C-drives, print lines and do math using programming. The title of this blog already proves that i learned some stuff. System.out.println(" ") basically prints whatever is inside the parenthesis. The more we learn, the more we have to memorize in our little computer brains. That means that the longer we are in the course, the longer i will struggle. I will try to battle this monster and master the ways of defeating it.
One day, one of my friends had trouble on the project. I am pretty sure that she did not understand what the project wanted her to show.
Mr.Joo warned us about cheating in the beginning of the year and that made me weary. Would i be considered cheating if i have the same work as someone else but we didnt work together? That would be quite an unfortunate coincidence. Hopefully that doesnt happen to me in the foreseeable future. I guess thats one of the things about tutoring or helping a friend on homework, its hard to do. If someone asks me to help them on math, i tend to just give them the answer or tell them how to do it and why it is like that. I should ask them questions so they can sorta figure it out themselves. Only experience will help you with helping other people.
