As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu World!
Today was surprisingly very good given the fact that the
rescheduled tutorial meant I had to stay an extra 5 hours. Normally staying an
extra minute is very painful for me, I like to go home as soon as possible.
On this occasion however, I was quite happy to stay since
it’s a lot easier to get work done at university than at home. The morning’s
programming practical was reasonably fruitful as well. I kept to myself pretty
much and got an unexpected amount of work done, although I wish I had done
more.
The 3 hour break between the practical and the tutorial is
where the most work materialised. Believe it or not, the environment in which
one works in makes a massive difference. There I was coding for about 90
minutes in a study area where I was pretty much alone.
But then, the other 90 minutes were interrupted by a couple
of students who decided to sit opposite me. They talked a lot which at first,
didn’t faze me at all but then I pretty much gave up. I need to find an
extremely unknown area where I won’t be disturbed.
The library, despite being noise free essentially can be
distracting as well sometimes. Anyway, onto the replacement Foundations of
Computing tutorial. The tutor was actually the same one I have for Elementary
Logic which was great since he explains things so well.
I honestly don’t see the point of lectures anymore. Only 2
weeks in and they’ve already proven their redundancy to me. A 1 hour tutorial
is far more beneficial than a drab 2-3 hour lecture. It remains a complete mystery to me why universities still
consider lectures a thing especially with lecture capture.
Sure, you can ask
questions but can’t you do that anyway? Before I finish off I’d like to advice
fellow CompScis that coding on that long train journey not only makes the
journey seem faster, but you also get quite a bit of programming work out of the
way.
Hope this helps!
