Q1: Why did you choose CSC104? What do you hope to get out of the course? This is my first time taking computer science course. I chose this course for three reasons. First of all, I have a passion for computer science, though I never had an opportunity to take a course and learn more about it. CSC104 is about computational thinking and using Dr. Racket. Nowadays, technological development has been growing at a very fast pace, more and more people need to obtain computing skills and know how to use computer in a convenient way. Secondly, I want to take more computer science courses in the future. It is a good start for me to know how to use a basic computer language. This course also can help me to be able to learn  how to compose codes and programming which is the most fundamental prerequisite before taking advanced computer science courses. In addition, I am in the mathematics program. I believe that this course can help me to develop my logic thinking. I hope to learn some ...
