I like this weeks lesson on recursions. Its more... problem solving, and thinking logically. Most of the time a bunch of the coding for me is, well trial and error, until I get either get it right or give up. But for recursion it's different somehow. I wasn't able to go to the lab this week due to an appointment, so I really wish we were given the handout online so we can try the lab out on our own. Maybe it is online and I just don't know?
I think i'm still lacking in my confidence towards my coding ability, maybe Dan can give us some non-marked homework weekly so we can practice each lesson. This would be extremely helpful because 1. No stress and we can practice at any time, and 2. More practice the better!
Actually I think i'll suggest this to Dan myself right now, hopefully it goes through.
You know you go to UTM when you actually ask for more homework right? I know that's what labs are for, but those are within a time period, so it is somewhat strained.

Week 3: Exceptions - Can my marks be exceptions?
Being taught about exceptions this week and how to trace it was not as confusing as other lessons. I guess this is because we are adding a concept to methods we already know such as defining a function and classes. So that's the good part I guess.
The bad part is that I still feel like a handicap when people are answering questions that I would need a few more minutes to think about. Dan is already thorough in his examples by going line for line with explanations for each line, so I would feel kind of more handicapped by asking 'dumb questions'.
I think what would help is youtubing or goolgling these topics to further understand. Or maybe I should stop playing league... no thanks.
