Bring on the test!

So last weekend came and went, and as surprising as I found it, I actually got down to work! It's  something you don't see often, like the Leafs stringing three victories together. It proved to be a very useful thing to do too. I definitely underestimated how annoying Assignment 1 was going to be. At first the questions seemed pretty straightforward, but when I actually got down to working on them, it seemed like each question had several possible answers. It took a great deal of test cases, patience, resisting the urge to kick-box my computer, and caffeine to keep me going. But at the end of the day, the race was won, and boy was I glad to see the end of that assignment. Note to self: get a head start on assignment 2. But for now, bring on the test! The really optimistic side of me hopes that the quizzes are foreshadowing the difficulty of the test. Much to my delight, the quizzes have so far been quite simple which I assume is their objective.

If there is one piece of advice I can offer anyone in this course is... use a TRUTH TABLE! They are unbelievably helpful. They solve any problem involving quantifiers, conjunctions, disjunctions and implications. I have found them extremely useful especially in the assignment when I had to convince myself of several answers.

I'm going to try and post a question for your minds to dig into every now and then. Here's a simple one to get things rolling

What form of transportation would you use to go to the R.O.M?
