Week 4: Big-bang and Wiki Project

Late update... I hope one day is still acceptable without penalty or such sort...

This week's material was regarding of wikipedia project, which is separated in three parts over our semester, and about animating images with DrRacket.

This week's part for wikipedia project was relatively easy considering was is ahead of us.  Registration and submitting the pages I may edit was the task, and it finished in no time.  I consider following two kinds of editing in general: placing an image, and clean up after the translation.  Image finding seemed easy; only need time to find (or make) an image for the page.  As for a translation clean-up, I thought I could use my Japanese and edit pages such as University of Tokyo.  I'm more interested in translation clean-up.

The lecture in class was focusing on how to use command big-bang, which animates the image that is applied into the function.  I learned its capability with how I'm able to edit the frequency of frames in the animation, and what kind of animation I'm able to make, such as rotating (like a clock work) and flipping images in whichever 2D dimension.  I found it fascinating and I'm looking forward for what else the function is capable of.

My worry at this moment is the coming term test on Thursday.  I'm sure that I'm up to date with the lecture and tutorials, but I guess it is natural to be anxious of my performance to prove my required knowledge.  I only have one other test on tuesday for sociology, and aside from that I should be able to find enough time to go through the lecture slides to prepare myself.
