Tracing Recursion

So far, my experience with this course has been a good one. Because I do not necessarily have a concern at the moment, I will talk about what I learned this past week.

The past week, I learned about tracing recursion.

At this point, the concept of, and understanding tracing recursion is not too complicated. It seems pretty easy; which could be because at this time, only two functions are being used.  However, as I think about it and look ahead, adding more functions will definitely complicate it, just as math may get more complicated as you add more functions within a single question.

When I started studying for the recursion lesson and lab, everything made sense. For this lesson, everything was explained well, and in a way in which I found easy to understand and comprehend. The only difficulty I had, however, I was the format in which the professor wanted the answer to be in. 

As I mentioned in previous posts, I use my time after class to go back to the lesson, work on problems, labs, and go through elements that I have difficulty with. After this lesson, I went home, and began to try and better understand exactly what the professor expected. By doing so,  I was able to understand through trial and error, and realized that what the professor wanted wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be; I just needed to focus, and really concentrate. 

The time I take after class to further understand the material discussed in class really helps me understand what was being taught to another level. I enjoy going back to lessons in a relaxed environment, taking my time to go through each element I didn’t quite understand as I may have hoped to. I plan to continue to carry out this routine every week to make every effort in ensuring as requirements are met, and that I gain a firm understanding of what is being taught.
