I didn't know whether to put this under Week Three or Week Four, but anyway, I finished assignment 1 yesterday, a few hours before it was due. It wasn't all that bad in the end.. but I did have a lot of trouble starting the assignment and figuring out exactly what I needed to do. Question 2 really stumped me because I thought we actually had to prove that our technique works using induction. Instead, the TA told me just to use it to come up with a solution for n+1 meals. I sincerely hope that was what Prof. Heap wanted, otherwise I would have messed up a whole question. 


Anyway, I don't know what more to say about it. I started the actual writing of the assignment pretty much on Sunday, which was not such a great idea. The assignment was definitely tricky because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to finish it. Somehow, I managed to pull through. Hopefully I've learned my lesson and will start the next assignment early. On a totally different note, TA's are very helpful when you're stuck. I'm so glad there are so many office hours since I can't make more than half of them.

I think helpful TAs will be a feature of this course. My hope is that students end up talking to TAs when they are most motivated --- when they're working on an assignment.
