But we’re making it in text – and luckily we don’t need to worry about clouds, pipes or enemies. You know, the one where he runs up it to get the flag for the first level.
The first part of the problem set 1 is to build Mario’s pyramid. The world is not fair.Īfter that, we do some proper work.
Problem set 1 – the apples application asks you how many apples you have. Getting my appliance ready and making Hello World wasn’t too challenging: Also, the problem sets are enjoyable, I have to make things, carve out programming assignments where I can choose to learn on-demand. Well, you’re partly right, but I also want to take a different track with this course, to see if I end up going back to the lectures later. You may think this translates to the lazy but ambitious student who thinks they know enough to pass, and so just sits out the lectures for the exam. So instead of working through this course weekly, as intended, I feel confident enough to work just through the problem sets. I did, however, enjoy working on the problem sets. I find the recorded lectures a tad boring. So it’s with these thoughts that I reflect on edX – and what I’ve done so far. Quite simply to move from the knowledge dumping mentality, one must be in an environment which includes interaction and, well for me, action – at this stage. This can be summarised to say that learners are actively (key word!) constructing internal representations by interacting and engaging with the content and subject. A second, more developed and agreed upon strand is that of constructivist principles for learning. Even when considering external factors such as the context of the student, such as their environment circumstances and affective state. It could be argued, and it was by many, that this isn’t enough of an explanation for learning, or teaching. The learner then stores that information. It was previously noted that teachers could transmit information to students via representation, such as the use of text or multimedia. One strand of thought is based on the assumed theories and philosophies of learning from afar. (tiny update: Problem Set 1 -finished & submitted) So, with that said, I’d like to spend a little time working out why I’m struggling to put ‘effort’ into my learning for CS50x… So obviously the next thing that happened was that I went back to my life, and didn’t put enough into my online course. I came onto edX in a view to being excited, interested and wrapped up in the idea of going back to do computer science. In this post I will summarise my next steps into the world of learning via a MOOC (massive online open course to you) from Harvard.įirst of all, I am so typical.
#Gedit cs50 series#
"Fast" is the primary reason why developers consider gedit over the competitors, whereas "Syntax for all languages that i use" was stated as the key factor in picking Notepad++.This is the second blog post in a series of unknown length! Part 1 can be found here.
On the other hand, Notepad++ provides the following key features:

Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. While aiming at simplicity and ease of use, gedit is a powerful general purpose text editor Notepad++: Free source code editor and Notepad replacement.
