Today I learned about computer networking, and practicing it using a program called "Packet Tracer" by Cisco. I tried my best but encountered technical difficulties. I spoke to Terry but was still unable to complete a task. On reflection I will continue to try my best and consult the tutor where required, even though I was still unable to complete the task on this occasion.

Today I learned about logic and binary in the context of Unit 02 (Principles of Computer Systems). It was an interesting and epic session that I enjoyed and did well at, I tried 100% but did occasionally make mistakes. I did eventually find the correct answers on the internet but it did take me some time to get round to that. On reflection I should have checked the answers earlier, which would have given me more time to take remedial action. Overall I did pretty well and will keep up the good work though. My Unit 08 deadline is Thursday.
