When I first walked into this new class room, I felt a feeling of dissatisfaction, mainly because of the small desks and seats provided, and what made it worse was the projector only covering half of the white board. However, after a quick introduction over the materials that this course covers, I instantly gained interest, seeing how it applied to all these specialists such as graphics, artificial intelligence, numerical analysis, networking and so on. I also found the summary slide of what each specialist follows into to be very helpful in foreshadowing what is to come in those fields.
(example: Graphics --> linear algebra, multi-dimensional calculus)
When the technician arrived to fix the projector and Danny teasing and indirectly insulting them (from my perspective) for not fixing it earlier. He reminded me of my grade 11 computer science teacher, who was one of the strongest influence of my decision into the field of computer science. A teacher with a bold and unique personality is usually signs of the best in my books. However, it's too early to judge and hence I continued to hold my dissatisfied feelings in my sub-conscious (not sure how else to describe it...).
Before the end of this week, I believe I had acquired some solid understanding of what some of this course was about, and hence in my mind I dubbed thee
"English Computer Science!" (for now...)
;) lol. [slightly informal for first week]
