This week, we got a sheet with questions that had something to do with Computer Networks. We had to go to a website and find the answers to the questions. We could've worked in partners, so we did. On the next day, we had a little lesson/discussion thingy on Computer Networks. We also got a package with all the answers to the questions from the other day, for those of us who didn't get all the questions completed. After, the teacher told us what the groups were for the final TIK project. When the groups were decided we had to come up with the manager of the group and also a name.
On Wednesday we got the package that told us what programs we were to do. It was the first day we got the chance to start working on our final projects. At first I was having a hard time remembering what to do. But after I got a very brief help from my group members, I remembered how to write the program and started working on it. I didn't finish the program, but I basically know what to do now, so it shouldn't take much time to finish the program.
On Thursday it was job shadow day for those who had careers this semester. So, both of my group members weren't here. That was no problem for me though, because I had the program to create and I knew what I was doing, so I didn't need any help from them. Near the end of the class, I finished working on the program. I also had enough time to document it.
On Friday, we had a test on Ergonomics and Computer Networking. Before the class, I tried to study for the test with some friends who also took this course. Even though I studied, I don't think I did too well on the test. I think I would be lucky if i passed it. I probably didn't pass it though.
Some difficulties i faced this week was that on the first day of working on our project I had trouble getting started on the program. I solved that problem by getting my group members to help me get started and remid me of how to do the program.

TIK weekly report
This week on TIK, it was a short week, because we had Monday off. So, I'm going to start the report from Tuesday. On Tuesday, it was somewhat of a free period, because people from other classes were allowed to come into our class and just chill here. But, we also had some work to do also.
On Wednesday, we started on something new, called Ergonomics. Ergonomics are the the application of scientific information concerning humans to the design of objects, systems and environment for human use. Basically, it's about things that make studying and concentrating and stuff like that easier to do, if we have a better environment. For example, having a comfortable chair, rather than a uncomfortable one. We also started on something called the Lottery Ticket Record Keeping assignment. Basically what we had to do was create a program which lets the user input how many lottery tickets he/she sold in that day, and then it shows a bunch of information on the numbers they inputed. For example, how many days they sold zero tickets, or how many days it took to sell 200 tickets.
On Thursday, we continued working on the Lottery Ticket Record Keeping assignment. But because I barely got anything done the other day, I had to get to work. Today, I finished the first bit of the program, but since I still didn't understand fully on how to create the program, I didn't get much done. Also, we had another lesson on Ergonomics.
On Friday, we had a full period to work on our Lottery Ticket assignment. Today, I felt like I was going to get alot done, because I had a mini lesson the other day on how to make it work, and it helped alot. After finally understanding how to make the program work, I got to work, and I almost finished the whole program today! All I need to do is write the last thing, which is to count how many days it took to sell 200 Lottery Tickets, document it, and then I'm done. Since I know what to do, I think I'll be able to finish it on Tuesday when we come back from the long weekend break.
Some of the difficulties I faced this week were mostly on when we were doing our Lottery Ticket assignment. At first, I barely had any idea on how to make the program, so I got help from some friends around. That got me started, but it wasn't enough for me to fully understand how to make it work. Also, I got the mini lesson thing from the teacher, and that helped alot, because that basically taught me how to write the program.

TIK weekly report
This week was a very sad, tragic week for our school, because of a certain reason. We had the last 2 days as a free period because of a lack of students attending this class. Other than that, we did some new things for Visual Basics. On Monday, we continued working on the student statistics program. Since alot of the students in my class didn't understand how to make the program because it was hard, we had a little lesson about how to create a program in a situation like that one. After, it seemed a bit easier and I finished the program.
On Tuesday and Wednesday we started and continued to work on something called arrays. Array is a data structure that stores variable data that has the same data type. With this, we worked on a package with several things we had to do to a program that involved using the array. It was pretty confusing to me at first, but after a while, I started to get a hang of it and I somewhat understood how it all worked and things like that. But in the beginning, I got a bit of help from people around me to get me started on the program.
I didn't really have problems or anything too difficult for me this week. I think that I basically understood everything we did this week in TIK. I think next week, i'll finish the package and we'll probably have another lesson on something new.

TIK Weekly Report
I couldn't post this yesterday because my internet was disconnected, so here is my weekly report now.
On Monday, we continued working on our project, the SIN number validation project. I almost finished working on it, but I didn't finish it completely with all the details. I found the project pretty hard, becuase it was a pretty long project and I messed up a couple of times.
On Tuesday, we continued working on our SIN number validation. I finished the program, and i almost finished the documenting part of the program, but i still needed to do some finishing touches. I ran out of time, so i plan on finishing the documentation up on the next day.
On Wednesday, I finished documenting my SIN number validation program, and it was ready to be marked. I was one of the first ones in that day to be marked. I thought i did a pretty decent job on the program, because it was doing everything it was supposed to be doing. One flaw was that i forgot to change the name of the program from Form1 to SIN Validation or something like that. The teacher said that other than that i did pretty well.
On Thursday, the class was still being marked of their projects. We also had a little lesson on drawing on Visual Basics, which was pretty interesting. Next, for those of us who had gotten their projects marked, we were to work on some exercises involving drawing in VB. I got some of the exercises done, but because this wasn't a part of the curriculum, we didn't have to finish it.
On Friday, the class finshed getting their projects marked. Also, we got our tests back, the ones we took some time last week. I did really well. I got a 93%! We also worked on a program which uses Test results and does something with it. I got started on it, but I found it hard because I didn't know where to start from.
Some difficulties I faced this week is that I didn't know how to write some parts from the SIN validation project, so my friend and I worked together to figure out some parts that we didn't get. Also, I didn't understand at first how to draw in Visual Basics, but as we moved along, i started to understand it more and more.

TIK weekly report
On Monday, we learned something new called the timer control. That is a device in Visual Basics which enables you to create things like a stopwatch, or a clock program. We also got some practise by creating our own clocks and creating stopwatches in Visual Basics. Some of the difficulties i faced that day was that i didn't understand fully how to create a stopwatch, so i asked people for help.
On Tuesday, it was a half day, so we didn't start anything new. But, people presented their projects about types of computer related jobs and occupations. I didn't present because i wasn't here for the project. Also, since it was a group project, I couldn't to it later on either.
On Wednesday, we had a review period because we were to have a test the next day. The teacher gave us the whole period to study and review what we have learned for the test. The teacher also gave us a review sheet for us to work on, so we know what to expect on the test. Some difficulties i faced this day was that some of the things were from a long time ago, so i had to look it up on my notes or ask other people for the answers or the notes that i might have not had.
On Thursday, we had out TIK test. Maybe it was because i studied alot the other night, or maybe it was just the test itself, but the test seemed very easy for me. Except for some questions that i forgot how to do completely, i answered almost all of them with detailed explanation and everything.
I wasn't in TIK on Friday because i had to leave school for a personal reason.

TIK weekly report 9
This week in TIK, we did many things, which were finishing up our pizza order programs, start learning how to create loop programs (For...Next), and we also learned a way to trace our programs, to make us understand better the concept of loop programming.
Because it was a 4 day week this week, we didn't have any class on Monday. On Tuesday, we continued working and finishing off out pizza palace order form program which was our midterm project. We finished it and we also had time for the teacher to mark our program. Overall, I think we did pretty well, but there were some places that we made easy mistakes that could have been prevented if we checked more throughly. I didn't face any problems that day, because we were practically done our program and all we had to do was finish it off.
On Wednesday, everyone finished their programs and we started on how to create loops in Visual Basics. We learned how to create loops with the For and Next statements. It seemed pretty easy, because all we had to do was copy what was on the sheet as an exercise. I didn't finish the whole thing that day. Some difficulties I faced that day was that I didn't understand how to start the whole loop program, so I got some help from other people.
On Thursday, we had a lesson on how to trace programs in Visual Basics. Basically, we were taught how to make it so that we know exactly what process the programs we create goes through before the final statement shows up on the screen. We got a handout to work on, which was very easy, because all we had to do was copy exactly what the handout said and then copy what the answer showed up as. I didn't face any problems that day.
On Friday, we continued our work on loops with the For and Next statement, and we also continued working on tracing the programs we created. But this time, the programs were a bit more complicated and we had to explain what was happening in the program in words. Some of the difficulties I faced that day was that I didn't know that you were supposed to write down the information every time a variable changes, but I didn't know that, so my information table got really long. Also, I didn't completely understand how to explain the program in words, so I asked others for help.
