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.

TIK weekly report 8
This week in TIK, we didnt do much because it was a 4 day week. Also, it was especially short for me because i was sick on Monday so it was only a 3 day week for me. Because i wasn't here on Monday, i dont know exactly what the rest of the class did, but i heard from a friend that they got partnered up to work on a major projet that we have to hand in by the end of this week.
On Tuesday, when i came back, my partner already made the program layout, so we had to start writing the program itself. what we had to create was a pizza order menu sort of thing, and in the end it had to show the total cost of the pizza and other things you might order with the pizza. we had the whole period to work on that. Some things that were difficult for me was that because the program itself was very big, i didn't know where to start. i solved that problem by asking people and the teacher for help.
On Wednesday, we continued working on our projects. We got alot of things done today, like finish up writing the program itself. Now all we have to do is write the program for the options at the top, for example, changing the price of a certain item. Some problems i faced that day was that our program kept showing unnecessary decimals, so we had to figure out what was wroning with it and how to fix it. we figured it out by asking people.
On Thursday, we continued working on our pizza order programs we started on the dialog boxes today, because I finished up on the order program. I had to create three dialog boxes, and I finished working on the first one and the second one, but I didn't finish the third one. I plan on finishing up the third dialog box and documenting it on Tuesday.
