My impression of the first feel weeks.

My impression of the first feel weeks.

I used to have this illusion that I should be able to breeze through 148 with the preparation from 108, it was not until the second week that I realized the level difficulty of this course was well disguised by the easy relaxing first week. I was sadly caught off guard by this course due to this sudden switch of teaching style from the '' handout spoon fed" in 108 to ''here are some example codes, go figure out the rest by yourself'' in 148. 

Nevertheless, I guess 148 is actually what is a typical university course like where instructors show but not tell, study is more on your own instead of being forced or obliged. Besides the knowledge and skills, I think responsibility, is the most important thing we will be learning through our 4 years university career, that there are some duty which are not forced upon us, yet we have to fulfill them at our best effort.

And personally I think tutorial labs are very beneficial, this is something we didn't have back in csc108, where most people get the chance to practice what they learned merely by doing the assignments. Whereas in csc148, there is an incentive for students to come to labs since there will be a quiz relates to the lab practice.
