Fourth Appointment with Dr. Racket

These past few weeks have been pretty hectic with the assignment due as well as the test. Though, the assignment in the beginning was pretty easy it later came to be quite confusing with all the definitions we had to write for functions. Since I was working alone on the assignment I was stuck for quite a while however when I went to the office hours for help my questions were easily solved. The TAs were quite nice and also were able to answer all my questions. I liked the fact that they did not just simply give me the answers to my problems but gave me hints and asked me questions so I could come to the answer myself. Next time however I feel like I'll work on the assignment in a group so I can be done with it faster.
The lectures during this time were also pretty interesting. I particularly liked the lecture on animation using the functions repeated and big-bang. Though the problem when making animation is that after adding the functions Dr. Racket becomes pretty slow and I have to continue my work on a new window. Not to forget but the lectures on colours were also interesting since as I've said before visuals and colours capture the attention more so than simple words.
All in all the weeks went by pretty well now I'm just nervous about starting the second assignment.
