We are about half way through the course now and I am still trying to appreciate the Racket language and find the motivation to fully understand it. My background knowledge in Java and Python have been interfering with the learning process due to the different syntax used in Racket. The 'check-expect' function, like epsilon-delta proofs of limits in math, seem pointless to me as I have not learned to appreciate it yet. To be honest I regret taking this course over csc108 because 108 uses Python, where Python is used in other fields of study, such as Physics. However, if I am going to do well in the course, I am going need to learn the Racket language to it's fullest and I am planning to do so now.
