Week 6 (week of 02/18/13)

This week we mostly just took the six weeks exam. I had a hard time with the multiple choice because i was distracted with events that happened the lunch period just before. Still, i ended up not finishing the multiple choice and will have to do corrections to make it up.

Week 5 (week of 02/04/13)

This week we worked on abstract classes and interfaces. At first I didn't understand it very well. I tried the worksheets and was completely lost. Then I talked to Mr. Stevens and he made it so much easier. Now I understand that abstract methods are ideas and not a whole lot of actual code. they are skeletons for sets of classes that require lots of the same methods.

Week 4 (week of 01/28/13)

This week I learned about single inheritance and multiple inheritance. we used these skills to work on pong. I find pong really confusing with complex nonlinear instructions. I am also having trouble with pong because i dont fully understand how object classes should be written or how they function. my problem with object classes is in the constructor and initialization methods. i dont know what is supposed to be put there and when i need to have them or what their purposes are. i think once i know their purpose and what goes in them then i will have no trouble figuring out when and how to use them.

Week 3 (week of 01/21/13)

I missed this entire week of computer science due to a trip to see the presidential inauguration and tour new york.
