TIK weekly report 4

Monday:
- we continued working on our programs on Visual Basics
- until today, i didn't understand any of the Visual Basics, especially in typing what each of the icons' job was
- i just didn't understand any of this, but amazinglyawesome a and asparagus a helped me figure it out, so now i understand completely how to create a program in Visual Basics
- we also got our tests back..and i was right..i did horribly
- i got a 44 on it, but its ok, im going to try harder and actually study for the next ones

Tuesday:
- I finished up my first Visual Basics program with a little help from people
- I also learned how to do documentations, it turned out to be easy to do
- after i was finished, i saved it onto the usb key our teacher gave us the other day
- tomorrow, i am planning to create and finish the flow chart for my first Visual Basics program

Wednesday:
- I finished the flow chart for my visual basics program
- the teacher marked my program, and i think i did well on it
- i also started on ElseIf program

Thursday:
- i continued working on the ElseIF program

Friday:
- we were supposed to have a quiz, but because if lack of people, we cancelled the quiz
-i also learned about case programming
Difficulties
- on Monday, i didn't understand how to make the buttons do what they were supposed to do, such as multiplying, adding, averageing out, so i solved the problem by asking people for help, and in the end, i understood how to work the program
- on Tuesday, i didn't understand what documentation was and how to do documentation, so i asked a bunch of people, and i finished it up
it turns out it wasn't anything hard to do at all

TIK weekly report 3

this week in TIK, we did many things, and those are the following:

monday:
-a test on:
-the basics of a computer
-hardrive
-softdrive
-CPU
-input
-output
-flowchart(input, output, sum, count, etc...
I don't think I did too well on that test, because I didn't study

tuesday:
-we were supposed to start on visual basics (VB) today, but the program wasn't downloaded to our computers yet
-instead, we had a lesson on cryptography and worked on 2 sheets
-I worked on the sheet with "amazinglyawesome a"
-we couldn't finish the whole sheet, but we did the most we could

wednesday:
-the visual basics program was downloaded onto our computers so we had our first lesson/assignment for visual basics
-we were to create a working device that adds the tax (15%) with the number the user input, and it would display the total
-after accomplishing that, we were to modify it so that we could insert a certain amount of tax

thursday:
-today was a half day so we just continued working on our Visual Basics

friday:
-we had a lesson and we continued working on our Visual Basics Assignments
Difficulties:
some difficulties I had faced this week is that:
-I didn't understand how do to certain questions on the 2 sheets we got on tuesday, and i solved that problem by asking others for help
-I didn't understand how to modify the device, so I asked people for help and asked how to do it and how it works

TIK weekly report: week 1

this week on TIK, we learned the basics of how to draw a flow chart and also how to make our own blogs.

this is a list of what i have accomplished this week :
-made google account
-made my own blog
-added essentials to blog ( music, pics, favourites, friends, etc...)
-had 2 lessons on flowchart ( basic, and more complicated)
-learned how the flowchart works and how to create a flow chart
-finished the computer ethics assignment

some of the challenges that i faced this week is when we first had to create our blogs. i was very confused because i didnt know what i was doing at all, and i was very lost. i solved this problem by asking others for help, and in the end, i figured out how everything works and it went well.

another problem i faced was when we had our first flowchart lesson. i was confused after about 5 minutes of the lesson. in the end, i solved my problem by looking over the notes and trying to solve the questions we were given to accomplish.
