Weekly Status Report #2

This week we looked over the flowchart assignments that were due on Monday and we corrected our mistakes. We also watched three slide shows for an introduction to computers. This week was a theory based week, we learned all the parts of the computer and learned about hardware and software as well as the difference between all the different computers, i.e. mainframe, supercomputer etc...

This week the work we had to do was a worksheet that taught memory sizes. We learned about bytes, kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes and we also learned how to convert the sizes to different measuring units. We also learned about pseudo codes and learned how to write them.

I didn't really face any challenges this week because it was basically all notes and remembering, therefore to remember I will just need to review my notes. The only problems I actually faced were continued from last week; I still need to grasp the concept of flowcharts, I understand how to do them but I think I need more practice. The work that remains is just to study for the test on Monday; this test is about everything we learned so far: problem solving, flowcharts and computer parts. All I really need to do is review my notes and do a few examples of flowcharts and problem solving; all in all, I learned a lot of theory this week.
