First week of CST 101

The first week of classes have come and gone. I am pleasantly satisfied that I have already begun to learn things in all my classes. I wasn't thinking I would learn anything new in CST 101 already, but I have. I had never heard of Wordle before, so it was interesting to find out about that site. Although it's just for fun, mostly, I could see how one could integrate a word cloud into a project of some sort.

We also took our first quiz in CST 101. It was on chapter 1, which was mainly about the basics of the components of a computer. I had read the chapter a couple semesters ago, so I just skimmed the chapter this time around, and I flipped though the flash cards online before I took the online quiz. The quiz took me less than 5 minutes, and I got all the answers correct. Having a quiz that easy is nice because it's both refreshing and it provides a nice review of things I have learned before. The most interesting part of the chapter, in my opinion, is the part about the factor of improvement. In only a few years, the factor of improvement can be vast.
