Tests back. I expected myself to jump off the CN tower. However, the score on the test was quite satisfying. Thinking back on the questions on the test they were not as bad as they seem when I first encountered them during the exam. Therefore, it implies that if I do enough practice, any questions on the exam will be easy.
* TBH I was too young too simple to conclude such statement.
Fortunately, the Thanksgiving day-off strip three proof-heavy classes into two. Cheers for the turkey. However, through the two classes, many proofs were gone through. It has been tough for me due to the lack of experiences in proofs; I mostly considered math as computations before entering this course. Thus, I get stuck on almost every single proof. Despite the help from the proof structure, I get barricaded by the “thinking part”, to argue with actually proofs and evidences. Therefore, to increase the efficiency in doing proofs I started a new approach. Before I start doing proofs, I read over sample solution of other proofs to flourish myself with the different tricks and proofs. I will spend a average of twenty minutes on a proof before check for answer. As a result, I am not just copying the answer while trying to push myself out of the boundaries of limited thinking. I am satisfied as by the end of the week, I am starting to get the hang of proofs and it is becoming easier to come up with a proof. In addition, I get the direction in handling the proof as I read through the statements, instead of struggling to find a place to start.
Not so slack week after all.

Going over examples is a good way to start, especially the questions in tutorial and in class. If necessary, going to the help center also helps a lot.
