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.
