Second post.
Things are advancing quite nicely with the course. Tutorials are all going very well and help much in clarifying what I don't understand. Lectures also remain interesting, and I'm glad to not be completely lost within the P's and not-P's and contrapositives and such and such. Our first assignment will be the real test to see how I place though...
When first given the assignment, my primary reaction was to panic and deeply regret not having taken any notes during lectures. I'm just that bad at notes. However, I kicked myself into work-mode and revised the posted lecture notes and assigned readings, which slowly but surely brought me up to shape. The result is what I hope to be a successful assignment, and I have confidence in what I've written. I had intended to visit office hours, but I couldn't really think of any specific questions to ask and I doubted they would respond to "Are all of these right?" So I skipped on office hours ;)
My biggest fear while working on the assignment was converting it to PDF. I used Word and the built-in mathematical equation inserter to write up my work, but when I converted it all to PDF my equations all disappeared!! So I was pretty bummed about that. However, a quick look at Google told me to visit the Regional and Language Options in the control panel and to load up the "Files for Complex Script and right-to-left languages". Upon re-conversion to PDF, the equations were back! Problem solved and jig of success complete.
Hopefully the assignment will go well, or I shall fall into the deepest pit of despair. But still, better than philosophy essays :)
Peace out.
