Homework - Wednesday, January 17, 2007
Understanding how students like to procrastinate and start getting busy towards the end of the quarter, my Computational Linguistics professor assigned the hardest assignments for the beginning of the course. His rationale is that after these couple assignments are done with, it'll be smoother sailing as far as his class is concerned, which I think is a good idea.
We're doing programming in OCaml, and fortunately I've used it before in my Programming Languages class. The first assignment ended up taking me 2 hours to do. A lot of it was just copying and pasting and modifying a couple lines of code. I think I just might enjoy this class. Seriously though, I've always had a thing for natural language processing and the like. I hope I get a lot out of this class.
On the other hand, I was up till 3:30 last night doing my homework for Algorithms and now I'm super-tired and couldn't stay awake in class. I guess that's my punishment for spending the whole three-day weekend hanging out with people.
