Febuary 16th Status Report

During this week we learned many new things. We were introduced to simple computer terms, as well as simple and extended models of a computer as well as their memories. We learned about memory size prefixes, i.e. gigabytes, bytes and we had an activity with these terms. We learned about pseudo codes and different types of software. We also did all the flowchart questions together as a class. Lastly we learned about cryptography, and creating simple codes using substitution and then solving these codes. The cryptography lesson was my favorite because I had always been interested in this because of the instances where I saw it in famous movies.

The only work I have left to do this week is to finish the cryptography assignment. The only challenges I faced this week were with the flowcharts. While doing the flowchart problems together as a class I started to figure out where I was making my mistakes. I still have some aspects to improve with my understanding of flowcharts, so I will be studying hard this weekend to prepare for the test that is coming up on Monday.
