The final stretch...

So here we are, at the last week of the school year.
I'm feeling a rush from a sense of urgency trying to get my assignments finished before Friday and I'm not going to let up until they are done. Meanwhile, the 3rd assignment is going surprisingly well with the concepts of Big-O, Big-Omega and limit notations becoming more familiar to me. However, the concept I can't seem to grasp seems to be the halting principle which is the basis of the last question of the assignment and a major part of chapter 5 in the course notes.
I hope that the last tutorial can help me with grasping the halting principle so I can finish the assignment and get focused on the final exam later in April.
Things are going fine for me these days, the ideas of diagonalization seem to be simple, yet very abstract in its description. Hopefully, I can grasp this concept before next class then.

Overall, this class wasn't really as bad as I had heard last term. It's probably because the teacher was very clear in his descriptions, posted everything on his website and was all around, very helpful when we had a question ask about something we didn't understand.

About the the problem-solving progress, I had a vague description for a problem based on what we looked at in class, but I'll need another post to describe what I got.
