SLOG 2 Hamna Imran

           So far, preparing for the quizzes and the test hasn’t been very challenging. I have been paying a good amount of attention during lectures and then going home to try out the new things that were taught myself on DrRacket. Also, I have been thoroughly going through the weekly exercises that are posted to keep myself in practise and to make sure I know all the key concepts required for the quizzes/test. As of yet, all these practises have been helping me perform well on the evaluations.             I have tried to make a couple of interesting images using the concepts taught in the lectures.

Coming into university, I was willing to try out new and challenging things so I decided that an introductory course to Computer Sciences would be a great fit for me since I was always interested in programing. From this course, I hope to get a better understanding of how softwares work and how you can write codes to do all kinds of cool stuff!           At the very beginning, I was very sure that programming was going to be very difficult since I was never a science student. I thought I wouldn’t understand what to do and wouldn’t know my way around certain things that everyone else would be familiar with. However as the course is progressing and I’m learning more and more, I feel that this course is very suitable for people like me, who have never done programming
