Week 5 - Inspired Week

Since last week, we have been learning/doing codes about recursions, yet recursions will be the writing topic for week 7. So, I would like to write about the class in general. :D
I personally was not used to the professor’s teaching style when the semester just started, maybe because 108 was very slow speed and its professors would ask if we had any questions every 10 minutes-ish. Yet, 148’s professor started the lectures very fast and purely focused on the lecture materials. Now, I have to say, I like his style better. :D In his class, I actually pay more attention to the material, keen to learn more and I can even gain some new details about the things I learned before. Even though the prof looked kind of serious sometimes, but I can feel that he is passionate and excited about the contents he is teaching. He always ask students’ names after they answer/ask questions, and he will remember those names. None of my other courses’ professors have done that before.
I feel really lucky to have him as my 148 professor, he inspired me to take more interest in python, and computer science in general. Also, some example functions he used in class were very cool. :D For instance, this week’s turtle recursion code is really fun to play with, and learn to predict its results from different input was really difficult at first. After the input 3, I started to get a handle of it; I can see the results will slowly form a complete triangle. Learning tracing codes with him was a very fun experience, and he is always patient to take the time with us with varies of inputs.
Unfortunately, Assignment 1 will be due this Thursday, so much pressure. L Luckily, the reading week is coming, I can finally take a little break between weeks of learning.
