Reflection on Week 3

Well, I actually studied for this week's test, which reflects my grade, luckily. I liked this test. I liked it in that it was not horribly written. I liked it in that there were no new or untaught concepts on this test. I liked it in that it was quick and straightforward. The only thing that was not all that great about the test was that it pulled heavily from previous quizzes and that many of the questions were exactly the same. That, I felt, defeats some of the purpose of a test, which is to test how well you understand a material, and not how well you can memorize previous Q and A's. However, I got a 97, so I won't complain too much.
I think that the powerpoints are not as effective as they should be. Perhaps I was simply more interested in Balaclava than the presentation, or perhaps I simply didn't comprehend that quickly, but whatever the reason, most of that went right over my head. I had to go through the powerpoint and reread much of it before understanding. I still, however, would like for the teacher to go over the powerpoints in class; it's a good introductory.
Regardless, I would be glad indeed if there were no quiz on Monday.
