Weekly status report # 2

This week, for me, wasn't as productive as the last week mostly because there wasn't as many tasks to complete which were on the computer. Most of the tasks that we did were just little assignments that we had to do. One assignment that was more than just a little task was the flowchart task which was given on Friday and to complete for Monday. I didn't do well on that. One of the lessons was that I should thoroughly read the question before i start it so I don't do the right thing. The other lesson that I learned this week by doing this task was that if I don't fully comprehend a question, then I shouldn't just put down an answer that I think makes the most sense just to get it done. Two more assignments that we had to do were an essay about computer ethics and a paragraph on the difference between a mainframe computer and a supercomputer.
In class we went over a lot of topics since we didn't have a lot of other assignments to do. The first thing that we did was talk about different computer terms like hardware, software, and programs. We also went over what output/input/peripheral devices, and how to classify computers (supercomputer, mainframe, minicomputer, microcomputer, and laptop).
The only work left over from the week is to study for the test on Monday. The challenges I faced were when converting the different types of memory and concerning cryptography. To solve my memory conversion problem I asked a friend for help. To solve my cryptography problem I consulted the teacher.
