This
week in brief: Test, survey, programming.
I
suppose that’s not enough detail, though.
The
test was like any test. The fact that it
didn’t impact our grade made it pass by quicker, and by decreasing the stress
probably improved my result. That being
said, the class day was a waste by most standards: we didn’t learn anything,
and we didn’t get graded on what we already knew.
Day 2
brought the survey. It consisted of a
bunch of pointless questions on whether we are interested in CompSci, whether
we’re sexist, whether we’re scared of bullies, etc.. I hope we won’t have to do this often. We also started the programming unit.
I’m not
sure how I feel about using Scratch. On
the one hand, it’s apparently capable of doing plenty of actions, and it’s
easier to use than a text-based programming language. On the other hand, it’s a visual language
that seems to oversimplify a complex topic.
Maybe it is fitting for a Computer Science- not Computer Programming-
course, but I can’t get that excited about it.
(And we don’t have a project. How
in the world do we not have a project for the PROGRAMMING unit?)
