SLOG Post 1 - First 2 weeks

When I first read the description of this course (CSC165) I was intrigued. Coming from the IB programme, I thought I could easily relate this course to some of my IB classes. First week was fairly straight forward; I think it is great that a similar topic with a more mathematical approach is being taught in MAT137 while the more logical approach is being taught in this class. The second week of class was a bit more challenging but it wasn’t something I couldn’t manage. I felt a bit uncomfortable accepting some of the claims (example: if false then false = true) but after giving it some thought it finally made sense. I found the tutorial and the quiz fairly easy but I know that the course will get progressively harder. Overall I really enjoyed the first 2 weeks of 165 and I look forward to future topics.
