Chapter 1: Pilot

          This is my first time to get into Blogger! I am very interested in this idea about creating a blog for a course as a record of what I learned and think! It is so excited for me to write an entry to talk about something related to the course in a university! Bravo! I do think blog is a place where people like to share and communicate their opinions about the world and minds. I'd like to share what I think about the course frankly, but I am hoping to read your entry and comments at the same time. 
         First of all, there are some opinions that why I choose this course in the first place. To be honest, I think some of you have heard some rumours about the course, like myself, which is an "easy course" designed for people who are at the basic level of computer. I am a fourth year student, who like to make my CGPA as high as possible. That is why I believed the rumours and chose the course as soon as I can. However, when I took the first lecture. I hate to say, but this is absolutely not an "easy course" as I thought in the first place. I didn't regret about my choice, because I found fun in this course. There, indeed, is something really attracting me to continue work on computer science.
         Then I went to the first class, this is my second change that caused by this course. I changed my thought on computer science. Before that, I thought that computer science or computer is just as easy as a calculator. That computer is a giant smart machine which can do everything was my definition of computer. I did not know anything about computational thinking. When I went to the first class, I did learn that computational thinking is a precise process just like our brain does. Prof said that there was a long history for algorithms, which is a base of computational thinking. We all believe that the first computer ENIAC was born in Pennsylvania State in 1942, yet we don't know that the first programmer was a female! Those are something really shock me.
        Those are my first feeling about this course. Interesting and getting fun from the process of learning! I still want to work out the formula about that problem of folding paper! Having fun encourages me to move forward. Looking forward to having something new and interesting tomorrow!
