It q> deifnitely enhanced my understanding of while loops and invariants. ---- q> too fast.... ---- q> Overall, the pace of the lecture and amount of material was just right. q> While I was learning new concepts and codes, I was never lost in q> the notes or in the examples given in class. I feel as though I q> have a fairly strong grasp on processing input sequences as well as q> performing certain tasks with the input vectors. ---- q> The materialinstructor yan covered is fairly basic and mostly covered q> by doing the projects. this material would have been helpful before q> we were required to use them on the projects. ---- q> Your pace is getting much better, however, you need to speak into q> the microphone more... You kinda let it hang there and forget that q> it's hard to hear in the back. ---- q> I thought the pace of this lecture was really good, easy to q> follow...keep it up! ---- q> I really liked today's lecture..many more examples which helped me q> understand the material much better! ---- q> Please stop spending so much time on the theory of programming. q> The amount of time spent on describing the "sliding-bar" idea for loops q> could have been much more valuably spent on just about anything else. ---- q> This was a good lecture, well paced and organized. ---- q> I thought today's lecture was strait-forward and helpful. ---- q> Today's lecture was good...pace has improved...i am very very happy q> about the project...i think it is much more reasonable than p3. ---- q> The lecture didn't really cover anything about invariants. It q> just covered how to picture the progression within a loop, without q> connecting this to invariants. the picture *is* the invariant. ---- q> I'm still a little unclear about the purpose of a loop invariant; it q> seems as though its presence makes tracing the code more difficult, q> rather than easier. I thought the lecture today was well paced and q> informative, and Professor Yan was patient with [questions]. ---- q> Today's lecture was quite repetetive ---- q> I found the lecture to be at the perfect pace...the detailed examples q> were a definite plus! ---- q> Today's class seemed pretty slow. Haven't we already learned how to q> use loops, find max, work with input values, etc? ---- q> I thought lecture today was very clear and easily to comprehend - ---- q> Another good lecture because of the clear examples. ---- q> Learned a lot this lecture ---- q> invariants seem pointless if one sets up a loop with proper conditions the "proper conditions" *are* the loop invariant. ---- q> i really love this lecture~~~ ^^ lots of examples~ ^^ i think examples q> really help me a lot learning the stuff sooner and better ^^ ---- q> the lecture went well I thought, but I couldn't get the 'leftmostmode' q> code to run accurately when I copied and pasted it. ---- q> I actually understood this one. ---- q> I don't really follow the analogies. I think that if you ran some q> code, in the matlab program during class (using the laptop computer) q> it would make must more sense. ---- q> I feel like those in this class who have had previous programming q> experience have a huge advantage over those who have not. Yes I am q> one of those who have not had any experience and I feel like I am way q> behind in understanding. I spend so many hours and when I sign up q> for tutoring hours no one shows up. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ please let me know when this sort of thing happens. q> Is there anything else I can do? please try office hours and appointments again, maybe with a different ta. if you're not running code from the lecture sketches, you should. start early on assignments so that you have more opportunities to ask questions. also, going to office hours after a due date can be helpful, because at that point you've fresh from looking at the problems and we can disclose the solution. if the tas are not helpful, you can also e-mail me to make an appointment with me. [also followed-up in e-mail.] ---- q> I thought the whole idea seemed kinda obvious and that the pictures q> really werent even needed. How do you use the pic in more involved q> applications? ----
