The power of peers

A successful person isn't necessarily better than her less successful peers at solving problems; her pattern-recognition facilities have just learned what problems are worth solving. "

- Ray Kurzweil

I just came back from International night which was actually very fun because the shows were fantastic. I really enjoyed it but since I came home late, I have less time to do homework.

Now onto ICS. Wow! I am caught up much more. Today, I learned a few things that I did not know before because of the power of peers. I am hoping to learn much more in the future. It was very interesting and actually refreshing to review all of our notes as a group so that we could all understand more and become 4's.

In class today, we started our peer tutoring straight when we entered the class. All of us were ready for a lesson when MrArkin asked us why we were not tutoring one another. Our group included Grace, Mahak and I. I was a level 3 and I still am a level 3 because we have not yet gotten to the part where I need help. We revised everything we learned in programming from the beginning so that Mahak too, could understand everything since she was lost after her trip to India. We also went through all of our programs that we didn't understand and needed help with. I was able to get some help in this department though.

I am looking forward to tomorrow's period. I am continuing to look through my notes and reviewing for a possible future test. I am excited for tomorrow as well because it happens to be Friday. One of my favorite days of the week. Ya!
