Question

how many people here have gotten past lecture 12/problem set 6?
more or less the half way mark on the course

Answer 1

I am at the 8th. However, I found the calender quite late and this is why I'm keeping up with the assignments.
I am reading "How to think like a computer scientist" and in three days I finished chapters 1-14. Quite an interesting and easy reading.

Answer 2

8th lecture, or assignment?
how long have you been at it?

Answer 3

8th lecture. Not long. I listened to the 8th lecture and I asked myself about the due dates of assignments; because I didn't have the calendar I didn't make correspondent assignments. This is why I am keeping up now with the assignments.
According to the calendar lectures 1-16 of the course more or less correspond to chapters 1-16 of the book "How to think like a computer scientist". I finished reading chapter 14.
Now I feel like I really need some practice of applying new knowledge from the book and the lectures covered so far.

Answer 4

I started the course four weeks ago or so, I think.

Answer 5

PS12 - Can't really remember when I started, its been a couple or three months but sometimes I only get a couple of hours a week and currently I haven't really done anything for about 2-3 weeks.

Go ahead and and start - its a good course. The beauty of it is that you can go at your own pace - whatever it is and however much time you can afford.

Answer 6

May be more like 4 months.
