Well, Assignment 2 and Midterm 2 have come and gone. Overall, I found them both fair.
...Although I should have spotted earlier that one of the functions in question one was the Fibonacci sequence. I remembered as I was doing question 2, but somehow forgot it by the time I got to question three. Note to self: write all epiphanies down immediately.
Knowing that it was a fibonacci could have made it easier to prove. Instead I wrote T(n) down on the leftside and 2F(n+1) -1 on the rightside and tried to unwind them both. I know I'm doing something wrong there. Perhaps I still don't understand the final goal, I need to do more proofs as practice. Me attempting to unwind (always a slow process to me) took the majority of the test and I stupidly didn't leave enough time for the other questions. Perhaps just enough time, I did finish them, but that doesn't mean they're correct. I know I can do it (I managed to do it on Assignment 2). Speed is my major issue. I will work on that for Test 3 and the final.

Hey! I'm another csc236 student in the night class. You're totally right! Write all epiphanies down instantaneously or your going to miss out on something cool and progressive. It's kind of funny though, how you get these epiphanies to help you in your work and life, yet a few seconds they're gone. Almost like holding the key to a castle and having it turn to sand as you put it in the lock, what was the point of having it to begin with? Well, best of luck in your future endeavors. ~Z
