Week 3

Most of the time this week I spent to do the assignment. I think it is not really difficult but not too easy either. This assignment is interesting in the way that me and my partner able to exchange opinion and correct each other and that actually made me understand more. There are some questions that are very confusing, like number 4, because we know the answer but unable to explain the reason why. It is very difficult to explain our thinking and opinion.

This week material that I find really confusing is the truth table, I don't really understand how to read those table. I mean, how to know which statement is true and which one is false? are we even supposed to remember the contents of the table?

Aside from the truth table, I think the proofing part from this week material and also in tutorial is very interesting because it is very reliving and satisfying if you able to proof the equivalence.

Week 2

This week material is very confusing, this is the first time I ever learn about symbols. It is not easy to translate symbols to English, even worst, we have to translate English to symbols. It was very frustrating to sit in class and look at the symbols that I don't understand very well.

The tutorial handout this week is even more frustrating, it was very challenging for me, especially for the second part. I don't even understand whats all of that means. As for the first part (where we supposed to translate the English sentences to symbols), I tried to answer all of it at first (and most of it make sense for me), but, most of my answer is different from the right answer. Well, I guess I should do more reading and practice about the symbols.

Quantifiers

Things that I learn this week that is new to me is the part where we supposed to understand the  symbols and also the implications. At first, it was very confusing and sometimes it takes me a long time to understand it. However, I was able to figure it out.

Things that I enjoy this week would be about the quantifiers, it is a pretty obvious task and I don't find it difficult. The first quiz this week is also quite easy. What difficult is to draw the Venn diagram like what we did in tutorial this week. I find it a bit challenging to decide where are we supposed to put 'x' or 'o' or '?' inside the diagrams. Nevertheless, I manage to discuss it with my group member and understand it. I hope that we do not have to deal with diagrams anymore.

One more thing that I find a bit frustrating is our Slog assignment. It is very difficult for me to express what I think about the course. all

All in all, I feel quite confident with the material so far and I think with a little more reading, I will be fine.
