Cow Goes "Weekly Status Report 2" Moo

Week 2 of Cow Goes Moo, I have missed like half the week. Many different topics were taught, but i had to learn and report what we learned based on the handouts i read. First assignment was completing four flowcharts, which was given last friday, and did quite well. We learned about computers. Different computer terms, different devices used, modems and the different ways to describe the computer was learned. Next, we learned about the parts of computer. Simplified model of computer, extended model of computer, the way the central processing units operate, and the different types of memories were taught. Next, after the snow day, we learned about softwares. Different types of softwares. The describtion of operating system, application, word processing. speedsheets,database management and their history were taught. We also learned about pseudo code, which is the writeen statement of algorithm, kind of similar to the flowchart. And on the last of the week, we learned about the cyptography. Two different types of cyptography, cipher wheel, which we used in class to create secret codes, and caesar cipher, which is a complicated version of the wheel.
The main objective for the week is to catch up and not miss what was learned monday and tuesday, when i was not at school. That was also the challenge for the week, catching up a lot of notes at once. I dont think i have a main goal for the week, maybe just doing well on the quiz.
