Midterm Thoughts

I've got some downtime and its Sunday night, seems like a good time to write a blog entry. We had the midterm on Friday and I am very unhappy with how I did. I believe I got the Fibonnaci and variable k questions correct for near perfect however blanked out for the third question which I only had 10 minutes left to do. After trying a few solutions I ran out of time and settled for the old "I don't know how to answer this question.". Really sucks but I'm hoping I can still end up with at least a 65. The upcoming 3 weeks are going to be extremely busy for me with 2 very big midterms as well as a few assignments and smaller midterms. As a result I've been motivated to look at Problem Set #3 early and saw that it deals with unwinding. I mentioned this as a topic that I was having trouble with and am actually glad it is on the problem set so I will be able to become more familiar with it. Hopefully PS#4 will be quick though since I have a midterm on the due date :) In the meantime I might as well get started on #3..

Sorry about Q3. Another tactic is to write to write down the proof outline, leaving out the "meat" of the solution.
