The midterm was returned to us last week and I was surprised to see I did a lot better than I thought. This was a relief but there are still two more term tests and assignments that can potentially bring my mark down. Hopefully the material doesn't get too hard as the course goes on.

I've began working on Assignment 2, the first two questions look pretty straight forward and I should be able to finish them before the weekend. Problem Set 4 came out a little late but the due date was extended. I am still going to try to finish it by Thursday night because I can't get to school in time for the early class and I would have to ask someone to hand it in for me. I still think people in the Thursday class get a disadvantage because they do not get a lecture that usually explains the concepts that are used to solve the week's problem set until after it is due. I think that we should be able to at least hand in the problem set after the first hour of class because in some cases that hour of lecture really helps with the problem set and some people just can't make it to the earlier class the next day. Maybe even let us electronically send the problem sets like the assignments to you as long as it is before the 10am deadline on Friday. I guess i could also search for the early class lecture slides and look them over to get a better of idea of how to tackle the problem sets, but it would be nice to have the same benefits of the earlier class.


This next week is going to be very busy for many of us with a bunch of assignments due next week and ongoing midterms. Hopefully after this next week things will die down a bit and we can have a relaxing weekend after A2 is done.

Edit: Just checked the boards and Prof. Heap will be taking problem sets on Monday from 11-3pm. Thanks!
