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.
