Last day and test

This is the first time that the question typo actually messed me up completely.

So, the last day of lecture, the third test is on Chapter 7 (but what exactly?), so I have a hard time focusing on which part to study on, instead I used lots of time just to read through the course notes.

Apparently I haven't prepared myself for the Cartesian product DFSA, plus the minor typos on this question really got me stuck there for a while (yes, I know the typo was already mentioned by Danny, but actually I haven't paid attention to it). I still managed to figure out with the last few minutes I have, the other two questions are very straightforward, so nothing to say about those.

After this intensive thirteen week lecture, obviously I've learned a lot about the theory of computation, all those wonderful proof techniques are very useful for us later on in our undergraduate studies. I personally think Danny is a very good lecturer, I've learned a lot from it (and also from this course), the only think I regret so far is to not spent enough time for this course. I think I lucked out in so many places, and I know that the exam will get me for sure.

Oh well, I enjoyed this course a lot, I certainly need to improve my sleeping habits because I cannot handle morning courses (or exams!), and appeared tired sitting near the front of the class is rather embarrassing.

Back to more studying, I'll write out a proof later.
