TIK Status Report #11

Work Completed/Skills learned
On Monday we learned about Timer control and we created a stop watch program in VB. Using timer control is really effective because user can know how long have he been using the program. However, there are also limitations for timer control. Some of them include: Maximum internal is only 60 sec and intervals are not guaranteed to elapse exactly on time. On Tuesday it was a half day and we had career presentations. On Wednesday TIK gave us review exercise for the test. On Thursday we had a test on everything we learned after lesson 6. On Friday we had a lesson on new type of loop, While Loop. The While loop should be used when the number of repetitions is not known before user starts the loop.
Objectives/Future Goals/Word Remaining
I completed all the programs that were given by TIK. All i have to finish is sin number program. I think that I did a good job on the test since, I understood most of the information on it. I am looking forward to learning more about Visual Basic and loops.
Challenges Faced/How they were resolved
This weed I had to ask a lot of questions since, I did not understood some of the information that was going to be on the test. I asked my classmates and TIK to help me with tracing and other stuff that I did not know. Then I went home and studied for about 2-3 hours and test turned out to be really easy for me. I am also having some difficulties with writing a code for SIN number program and I will ask TIK for help with it on Monday.
