OPTIONAL SUBTITLE

Introduction

I am a computer science major, this is the second time taking this class with Matt. I started to take this class last semester, but certain circumstances caused me to drop the course so close to the end. Now i am here for a second time and hoping to finish. I love computers… and what they can do. Technology alone is amazing. I hope to learn with everyone else… Lets all make this a learning experience together in the lair.

  • What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date? I learned that i have a long road ahead of me, this being my second time in this course.
  • Why was this significant? This is significant to me, only because i cannot miss anything this time around.
  • What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense? I just get alot of characters mixed up with this course and my java course.
  • What challenges are you facing with respect to the course? Stop getting the courses mixed up.
