Pixart Homework #62

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

comfort_level: 2 completeness: 2

I've been struggling with making homework assignments work as intended lately. I feel like I am grasping the concepts in class and everything makes sense to me, but when it comes time to apply the concepts to homework assignments, I feel like I have no idea what I am doing.

:+1: What have you tried to fix this? pairing with other students? writing pseudo code? asking questions in slack? here and happy to help if you need

@jshawl I've tried pairing with students on just a couple of occasions and it seems to help just a little bit, but not too much. It seemed that the people who I had paired with were just as confused as I was about the questions I had. I have not written any pseudo code, aside from following along in class. I'm embarrassed to ask questions in Slack because in most cases, especially recently, I feel like I don't even know where to start. I am going to stay after today and try to get some guidance on tonight's homework assignment. Maybe if I make a habit of staying after to work on homework, something will eventually click. I'm honestly terrified that I'm just not getting it fast enough and that I'm going to end up being booted from the course.
