Week 9 : retrieving from the memory... MidTerm2


I've retrieved the information from my memory about this slog activity just after the midterm, and noticed that I was away for almost three weeks...

Since the sixth week, week after we had our first midterm, we've focused on study of computer architectures and function of its consistent such as memories.  And as always, we had our time for practicing new application of DrRacket programs. 

DrRacket part was fairly easy until week 7 where we had to decompose and reconstruct images’ color and map their colors, which our professor specifically mentioned that a lot of students found difficulties in tutorial, and so did I.  Another tutorial was spent to get a better grip of this part, and there I found myself in much better position. 

As for computer’s architecture, I was unable to attend to lecture with Von Neumann’s architecture, and for same reason I found that section of second midterm specifically difficult.  The slides from that day were indeed accessible, but I sometimes find professor’s handwriting little bit difficult to read.  I would also usually leave a note on pdf file of those slide for my own memo from lecture, and failing this made this part challenging. 

Yet, I still found myself okay in the second test, specifically on DrRacket’s section, and I hope that brought my score high enough. 

For following weeks till final exam, I would like to leave a post in here at least once every week, and try to attend every lecture. 
I’m also worried with how my Wikipedia project would turn out.  I’ve chosen pages that needs translation and cleanup, so I could use my Japanese skills, and for this type of contribution was accepted but not specified for how many pages I’m suppose to edit.  I hope I can get a reply soon for this.
