[01a] Down the Rabbit Hole

A cheesy pun-intended title, to-be-used cliché post titles (hint: Alice in Wonderland's chapter titles), and a dorky blogger -- that's what you'll get in this SLOG.

It's always been most difficult for me to start and end my pieces of writing, so please bear with me for now.

In order to get through my first week of slogging, I'll stick to the standard questions. Yay!

Things I've learned so far in class:
- a bunch of fancy symbols (such as ∃ and ∀)
- quantification
- claims (existential and universal)
- nomenclature
- implication
- negation and contrapositives
- vacuous truths
- equivalence
- idioms (oops. I accidentally typed "idiots".)
- a bunch of other things!

Things I've enjoyed thus far:
- everything

Challenges:
- almost everything
-- at first, the topics were difficult to me, but after reading over things again and asking a certain someone a bunch of questions to clarify, everything made sense.

Achievements:
- waking up on time to make it to every single class (wow!! I should get extra credit for this one.)

Now that I have a primary post down, I can get around to making some bonus content for the slog.

One question, though. Are we supposed to "write at least one problem-solving episode" for this slog entry, or just every entry in the future, or both?

  1. You only need to write a single "problem-solving episode" the entire semester. That is, a single blog entry that focuses on solving a specific problem, rather than just an entry describing your experiences in the course that week.

    Don't forget if there's anything in specific you're struggling with, you can always stick around after tutorial, send me an email (timo.vink@mail.utoronto.ca), or go to office hours!
