Before we dealt with Venn Diagrams in the tutorial this day, I still did not have a full understanding of how to read them properly, and how to use the symbols that come along with them appropriately. I found the tutorial helped me to understand all of them far better. Also the quiz at the end provided me the opportunity to read a word problem carefully, to help establish a good habit of dealing with any form of work with patience. It was all beneficial. I look forward to the session next week.

First Reflection
In the past I have always found myself
to not fully understand word sentences to the full extent, often because I read them too fast and did not bother
to check if I fully understood or not immediately after. With
this area, I have been striving in this course from the beginning to read word problems
with patience, and as a result I have been able to understand most of
them fully. Impatience often leads to frustration, causing a person
to lose sight of everything, so it was clear how I should approach
these concepts from the start: slowly and patiently. I understand
that providing one counter-example alone can automatically falsify
any sort of claim (universal, existential, etc). With Venn Diagrams, I am recalling what
I learned in high school and intend to continue to improve my
understanding of them through the course lectures and tutorials provided. I also intend to fully understand how to use all the symbols and notations that will be taught throughout this course, and patience will play a key role again in the success of that.
