This week went well, but due to the lab's difficulty there were some issues. However, some students who lacked in performance showed improvement.
Since this Lab dealt with 2d-arrays and graphics transformations, students did have difficulty. I did notice those who utilized the printer paper I provided to draw out the problem solved it faster than those who didn't.
Also students understood arrays much better when I told them to think of it as a variable holding a value. For some reason they understood what the array would return.
Ex.
int[] a = new int[2];
int x = 5;
a[0] = 5; // here I told them to think of a[0] as a variable with a value of 5
Students also were confused when using arithmetic operators, such as multiplying.
Ex.
// here they think there getting confused because it's a 2d multiplied with a 1d array.
a[0][0] * b[0]
