The objectives I had for this week were to learn more about Ergonomics, finish my Lottery Ticket Record Keeping Program, and learning how to create animation in Visual Basic. The skills I learned this week were learning more about Ergonomics and how important it is in daily life, how to calculate the biggest, smallest, how many days it took to sell 200 tickets, and how to make an object move from left to right and up to down in a Visual Basic Program. My future goals are to incorporate everything I learn into one program.

The work that I completed this week was I finished my Lottery Ticket Record Keeping Program and submitted it for marks, and finished the first part of my program for the animation part. The work that I wasn't able to complete this week was the second part of the animation program and studying for the Ergonomics test.

This week I had some challenges with the creating of the codes. I have the tendency to ask for help all the time instead of concentrating and figuring it out myself. Later on, I understand how to finish off the code and submit it for marking. I caught up to everyone else at the end of the week.

I didn't complete much work this week because of all the commotion that has been going on. I still have to finish my Lottery Ticket Record Keeping Project and study for the test on Ergonomics in the future.

This week I had some challenges with the creating of the codes. I have the tendency to ask for help all the time instead of concentrating and figuring it out myself. Later on, I understand how to finish off the code and submit it for marking. Also because I was short on time from not being in class for a small period of time, I fell behind.

The work I completed this week was finishing the Digital Clock Program and the Stopwatch program which interveaned with each other and the presentations of our careers. Also I completed the test of Thursday, April 26, 2007 and I found it quite easy. I still have to do one or two more programs for the for next and exit loops. Either than that there was nothing else that I needed to complete.

This week I didn't have any challanges because we didn't have many programs to create codes for which is the challenge for me. Also because we had a half day on Tuesday we didn't do much. Since there were no challenges, there were no solutions either. In the end, this week was quite a relaxing one.

Either than that there was nothing else that I needed to complete. I will study for the test coming up in the future.

I had many challenges this week with the program we had to create. It was mainly with the code, not with the design itself. We mainly got help from the teacher and a bit from fellow students. The solutions were the help we got from the people around us which helped us create the perfect program to hand in. Also for time management for the report, I had some difficulty because one of our group members was not in class so it put more pressure on my part.
