Tracing Recursion

When recursion was first introduced in lecture, I was a bit confused about the syntax of tracing it, even though I understood the concept.  The handout that we completed together in lecture was very helpful as it gave me concrete examples to work from when tracing other recursive functions.  As well, the lab exercise that actually required us to write a recursive function was extremely useful as it gave a further understanding as to how recursive code works.  After the lab exercise and quiz, I felt comfortable with tracing recursion and had no problems completing the test question that dealt with this topic.
