This week we learned about the hardware portion of various computer memory storage devices, how was stored and operations were carried out through the von Neuman system and finished the algorithm for the crease folding pattern. The material covered, including the colour manipulation, was easy to understand and absorb. Starting the tutorial exercises early also helped tremendously as I was able to try all the examples and remember the format of the outcomes. For example, the colours are always listed (red, green, blue, alpha). As long as I review the material or use the programming functions often, I believe that I will be ready if the material to show up on the test/exam.
I definitely enjoyed finishing the crease-pattern once and for all. I was glad that it was a topic that was developed through many weeks and we were able to apply what we learned each week to get closer and closer to the solution. It was very satisfying to be able to complete a fully functioning algorithm that solves the problem!
The sneeze project will be due on Friday and after reading the handout, I believe it should be somewhat challenging. In order to do well, I may consider working with a partner so that we can bounce ideas off each other, or I will begin early, again procrastination hurts, so that I will be able to complete the project "easily".
