Week Two: Status Report

Into the second week of the Computer Programming course introduced us to more advanced functions through flow charts and an interesting Introduction to the Computer.

On Monday, we were asked by our TIK teacher to hand in a flow chart assignment which was assigned the Friday before hand. Today, our TIK teacher pointed out the mistakes that the majority of the class did on this particular assignment. Hopefully, the class picked up on what not to do when formulating a proper flow chart of full marks. This following Monday, we will be having a test on flow and problem solving charts, as well as on our introduction to the computer and the computer's software.

This week we learned the basic terms and purposes that each main component of the computer does. To follow to see what we learned, we defined a few of the ways you can describe a computer via size; a Mainframe, a Supercomputer, and a Minicomputer. On Wednesday (Valentine's day), the school had a snow day due to the extreme weather conditions; therefore I did not attend any classes that day. Today, we learned about the different types of software that a computer can have. Examples of these would be system software and application software. Also, we were introduced to Pseudo Codes for flow charts. Tomorrow, I believe our class will consist of a continuation of the pseudo codes, and possibly more information on the computer.

Cheers,
