First two weeks of CSC165

This is actually my first week of class since I was not enrolled in this course til this Wednesday, and I couldn't make it to class due to vacation. So the main problem for me is that I'm not so followed up with the materials that's being taught in class. For example, I don't really know some of the terminology that professor mentioned frequently in class, such as "contrapositive", "vacuous truth", etc. But fortunately, I've already learned some of the material in Math 137 (I'm a second year now), like "quantifiers", "implications", etc. so I have some sense of what prof was teaching even though I'm not geared with the material taught at the beginning.

So I just learnt it by myself outside of class time. And luckily, the introduction stuff was not hard, so I am able to easily catch up and follow along. This is the main challenge that I've encountered this week. And I feel the material is not really challenging since it's sort of familiar to me. But it sure will get harder as it moves along, so I need to keep the hard work.
